2003 Chevrolet Corvette

Up for sale is a low low miles 2003 Chevrolet Corvette C5 Convertible. The C5 is competitive in regards to 0–60 mph acceleration times with almost all premium sports cars of its era, including the Aston Martin DB7 Vantage, and the Ferrari 355. A composite of published performance numbers for the base-model coupé and convertible gives a 0–60 mph time of around 4.5 seconds, and a standing quarter-mile time of around 13.3 seconds at 108 mph (both times for a vehicle equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission).[12] The C5's modular body panels use a lightweight composite material known in the automotive industry as SMC or Sheet Molded Composite, a type of fiberglass that is blended and bonded with plastics. SMC provides better protection against direct blows because it is very stiff and will not dent. The floor boards on the C5 are a composite consisting of SMC with balsa wood in the middle. Balsa wood was chosen for its stiffness, light weight, and sound absorption qualities. The all aluminium LS1 overhead valve engine is much lighter than its bi-metal (cast iron block, aluminum heads) predecessor, the LT1, and provides for a much lower hoodline when compared to an overhead cam design of relative displacement. The composite leaf springs are much lighter and sit much lower than typical coil springs and help provide the C5 with its smooth ride characteristics and low ride height. Ending production on July 2, 2004, the C5 became both the last generation of Corvette, and alongside Lotus Esprit (the last Esprit rolled off the production line on February 20, 2004), the last car overall to use pop-up headlamps. THIS VETTE IS BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT. THE C5 IS ACCIDENT AND RUST FREE. IT COMES IN ONE OF ITS MOST RARE SOUGHT AFTER COLOR COMBINATIONS GRAY WITH GRAY INTERIOR. IT IS TRULY A BEAUTIFUL AND SUPER ELEGANT CAR! THE PAINT LOOKS FLAWLESS AND DEEP RICH AND SHINY. THE CAR IS VERY STRAIGHT WITH NO DINGS, DENTS OR DAMAGE.
