The C5 Generation of the Corvette represents a true world class driving machine marking the timeline when Corvette became a true competitor worldwide in the sports car market. Corvette designers set out to build a Corvette that not only took the Y-Body to new performance levels they also wanted to pay tribute to four decades of Corvette design. The long hood and short rear deck along with the sculpted sides and with the traditional front engine rear/drive are a tribute to the first Gen Vettes. The quad taillights are a throw back to the midyear Stingrays of the sixties and finally the massive rear hatch to the later generations. The Y-Body engineers resulting design and then groundbreaking performance earned the 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Motor Trend Car of the Year. While subsequent generations of the Corvette continued to increase horsepower output and improve handling, the C5 remains highly sought after by enthusiasts as an affordable option to break into the Corvette hobby with a car that provides outstanding performance and timeless design.
