1997 Chevrolette Corvette C5 Coupe Specifications Exceptional braking, handling, ride, comfort, roominess, ergonomics, and value -- the 1997 Corvette C5 had it all. And it was one of the fastest cars in the world to boot. The six-speed went from 0 to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, a half-second less than an LT4 and just as quickly as the 405-bhp ZR-1. A 172 mph top speed put it about two mph in front of the fastest C4 and just seven mph shy of the ZR-1. On the skid pad, its .93g was the best number ever achieved by a production Corvette, while braking from 60 mph was a supercar-short 125 feet. The 1997 Corvette was the first production Corvette with a rear-mounted transmission linked to the engine via a stout aluminum tube. |
