About the 1997–2004 Chevrolet Corvette
from the generation archive
The C5 Chevrolet Corvette (1997-2004) moved the transmission to the rear axle as a transaxle, giving the car near 50/50 weight distribution, and built the chassis on hydroformed steel perimeter frame rails with balsa-cored composite floors. Every C5 carried the all-aluminum 5.7L LS1 V8, rated at 345 hp from 1997 through 2000 and 350 hp from 2001 on. The Z06, added for 2001 on the fixed-roof body, ran the LS6 at 385 hp, then 405 hp for 2002-2004.
