The C5, the fifth generation Corvette, made a big leap forward in terms of handling and styling, making it a match for it's European rivals.
Over 6 years in development, the C5 addressed its predecessors poor handing with a new stiffer chassis and driver adjustable independent rear suspension. A lightweight alloy engine was also new along with a manual 6 speed gearbox. The glass fibre body featured detachable roof panels in targa form and offered a more comfortable interior environment with state of the art head up display from 1999.
Best of all the new Corvette was an absolute bargain. 172 mph for just £35,000 in the UK should have made the C5 a best seller, but LHD only was not to everyone's tastes.
