Highly optioned and beautiful! Don�t miss this very nice local Corvette! Automotive History: In the inaugural model year (1997), only the fastback coup� (more like a hatchback coup�) was offered, with the convertible � the first to offer a trunk since 1962. In 1999, a third body style, the hardtop (also referred to as the fixed-roof coup� or FRC), was added to the lineup. This body style, as its name suggests, featured a fixed top (no removable targa top panel as with the fastback coup�) with a roofline shape and trunk space similar to that of the convertible, as well as a distinctive notchback-style rear window. Aside from cosmetic differences (new wheel styles, paint colors, pace car/commemorative editions in 1998, 2003, and 2004, etc.), horsepower boosts, and new offerings for optional equipment, there were few fundamental changes from one model year to the next within the production run of the C5. One of the more popular high-tech options introduced in the Corvette line was a head-up display or HUD, while another innovation was the Active Handling System (first available as an option in 1998, then standard on all models in 2001). The C5 was also the first Corvette to incorporate a drive-by-wire throttle; and variable-effort steering, whereby the assist level of the power steering is varied according to vehicle speed (more at lower speeds, less at higher speeds). Also notable, though rarely discussed, the C5 generation was the first model to adopt the parallel or tandem windshield wiper configuration, abandoning the opposed configuration that was used on every previous Corvette model since the first in 1953.
