Up for sale in our Tampa showroom is a sporty 24 Hours of Le Mans Commemorative Edition Corvette convertible. The Chevrolet Corvette (C5) is a sports car that was produced by Chevrolet for the 1997 through 2004 model years. During the 2004 model year, a 24 Hours of Le Mans Commemorative Edition package (RPO's Z15 & Z16) were offered as an option for all three C5 models (fastback coupé, convertible, Z06) in celebration of the C5-R "1â?"2" in-class finishes at Le Mans. The power plant for this sporty little C5 Corvette convertible is the very popular 5.7L LS1 V8 engine that is linked to the very responsive six speed manual transmission both only sporting actual mileage of 58,850. That is correct with less than 59,000 miles and only a little over 5,300 miles per year this 2004 Corvette has truly been a weekend driver. The exterior color on this C5 convertible is a very rich and glossy Lemans Blue that is complimented very nicely by the shale top and shale leather interior. From the low mileage down to the interior and exterior this 2004 Corvette shows a true pride of ownership and you can tell it is has been garage kept the majority of its life. The C5 is capable of matching or besting the 0â?"60 mph acceleration times of some of the world's premier sports cars, including the Aston Martin DB7 Vantage, and the Ferrari 355. A composite of published performance numbers for the base-model coupé and convertible gives a 0â?"60 mph time of around 4.7 seconds, and a standing quarter-mile time of around 13.2 seconds at 103 mph (both times for a vehicle equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission). Options include: A/C, AM/FM radio with CD player, manual convertible top, power brakes, power steering, power door locks, power seats, anti-lock brakes, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, traction control, keyless entry, seat belts, driver and passenger airbag, anti-theft system, leather interior and aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in radial performance tires. The Le Mans package consisted of a special paint color ("Le Mans Blue Metallic"); shale two-tone leather interior (coupés and convertibles only); and wide, silver-and-red stripes optionally applied down the center of the car (Z06 only). Commemorative Edition convertibles received a shale-colored soft top.
