The C5 (Fifth Generation) Corvette was scheduled for
release in 1993, but internal problems with GM,
productions delays, and financial problems delayed it's
introduction until January of 1997. The result is a
Corvette most call the best ever. The 1997 is the first
totally new Corvette in history, even the 1953 used parts
intended for other automobiles. This Corvette has a
totally new frame, engine, and rear mounted transmission
(a Corvette first). This combination provides near equal
weight distribution (51.4/48.6) with the automatic
transmission. Wheelsize is 17 x 8.5 front, and 18 x 9.5
rear. Top speed is 172 MPH.
