For Sale: 1998 Chevrolet Corvette in Kentwood, Michigan

Vehicle Description

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1998 Chevrolet Corvette for your consideration. This Corvette comes in a Nassau Blue exterior paint complemented by a black leather interior. Powering this Chevy is a 5.7 Liter V8 paired to a recently replaced automatic transmission (20,000 miles ago). This Corvette features an aftermarket hood, newer paint job (5 years ago), Sumitomo tires, aftermarket sound system, including speakers, amp, and head unit. Everything on the vehicle is working as it should (besides the horn) and it runs and drives great. If you are in the market for a C5 Corvette that won't break the bank, this is the ride for you. Drive this one out of our showroom or have us assist with shipping it to you anywhere in the United States! Don't hesitate to give us a call with any questions or for more information.

The C5 is competitive in regards to 0-60 mph acceleration times with almost all premium sports cars of its era, including the Aston Martin DB7 Vantage, and the Ferrari 355. A composite of published performance numbers for the base-model coupe and convertible gives a 0-60 mph time of around 4.5 seconds, and a standing quarter-mile time of around 13.3 seconds at 108 mph (both times for a vehicle equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission)The C5's modular body panels use a lightweight composite material known in the automotive industry as SMC or Sheet Molded Composite, a type of fiberglass that is blended and bonded with plastics. SMC provides better protection against direct blows because it is very stiff and will not dent. The floorboards on the C5 are a composite consisting of SMC with balsa wood in the middle. Balsa wood was chosen for its stiffness, lightweight, and sound absorption qualities. The all-aluminum LS1 overhead valve engine is much lighter than its bi-metal (cast-iron block, aluminum heads) predecessor, the LT1, and provides for a much lower hood line when compared to an overhead cam design of relative displacement. The composite leaf springs are much lighter and sit much lower than typical coil springs and help provide the C5 with its smooth ride characteristics and low ride height. Ending production on July 2, 2004, the C5 became both the last generation of Corvette and alongside Lotus Esprit (the last Esprit rolled off the production line on February 20, 2004), the last car overall to use pop-up headlamps.
