In 1984, the fourth generation of America’s favorite

sports car anticipated the future with a sleek look and

advanced technology that provided superior handling

and performance. Windshield angle was the sheerest of

any domestic vehicle, cornering ability the tightest of

any production car. In short, the 1984 redesign enhanced

the Corvette’s reputation as a leader in the world sports

car market.

After 44 years of production, Corvette only got better.

The fifth

-generation Corvette arrived in 1997, featuring

a completely restyled body and a new, all

-aluminum,

5.7 Liter, 345

-horsepower LS1 V8 engine.

The structure of the fifth

-generation redesign is

the stiffest ever developed in 44 years of Corvette

production, resulting in unparalleled ride quality and

outstanding handling. Also unique to the new Corvette

is a rear

-mounted transmission.

Available as a Coupe for 1997, the new Corvette

offered such standard features as extended

-mobility

tires, a Bose

audio system, and a new, latch-operated

roof designed for easy removal.

With many design cues inspired by the classic models

of the 1960s, the new fifth-generation Corvette is

an impressive combination of sleek styling and

world

-class sports car performance. For 1998, in

addition to the Coupe, a convertible was reintroduced.

The fifth-generation Corvette rollout was completed in

1999 with the introduction of the hardtop model.

For 2001, all hardtop models became the higher

performance Z06. The Z06 model featured the

performance enhanced LS6 engine, specific suspension

components and exterior/interior differentiation.
