Chevy’s C5 Corvette was introduced for the 1997 model year as the successor to the wildly popular C4 Corvette. The C5 took many of the C4’s best aspects and further refined them. However, it saw a significant mechanical change in that the gearbox was now sited at the rear of the car, directly driving the rear axle. This set-up optimized weight distribution, making the Corvette an even better track handler than it already was. Facilitating this system was a torque tube that rotated at crankshaft RPM, running down the middle of the car straight to the gearbox. This system resulted in the magic 50-50 weight distribution that keen performance driving enthusiasts crave. Today’s 1999 Chevrolet Corvette Hardtop offers that, plus the rarer hardtop body style, and a manual gearbox, making it a truly appealing car for someone who loves to drive and seeks a future classic. This car has covered just under 125,000 miles and lives in New York.
Exterior and Interior
The C5 was the last era of Corvette to have pop-up headlamps, a feature that first appeared on the C2 way back in 1963. That’s one of the defining features of every C5, including this 1999 Chevrolet Corvette Hardtop, with its sleek black paint coat. The car also rides on a set of black alloy wheels with a contrasting silver lip, giving the car a particularly dark stance. The only splash of color in the side profile is its red brake calipers. The two-seat interior of this 1999 Chevrolet Corvette Hardtop features leather seat upholstery and has been fitted with an aftermarket steering wheel. We also see an auxiliary gauge pod installed within the driver’s side A-pillar. Otherwise, it’s your typical C5 cabin, with air conditioning, trip computer, power windows, power locks, and power mirrors. However, the original radio has been swapped for a modern Alpine unit that adds Bluetooth and USB connectivity choices. The car also includes a decent amount of trunk space for a sports car.
Engine
This 1999 Chevrolet Corvette Hardtop packs a V8. The 5.7-liter unit was factory rated at 345hp, which is more than enough for plenty of thrills. It’s paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Rear-wheel drive, ventilated disc brakes, and power-assisted steering are all part of the package.
