The Chevrolet Corvette is a
two-seater sports car available as a hard top coupe, a hatchback
coupe, and a convertible. This high performance sports car has
endured while some of its closest competitors have been
discontinued. Though it is a low sales volume vehicle in the
Chevrolet lineup, it is the highest performance vehicle sold by
General Motors. Nearly 75% of Corvette buyers are men with a
significant number having graduated from college. Most buyers are
primarily professionals or managers. The function of the Corvette is
performance; each part of the car being designed for maximum
performance relating to acceleration, braking and handling. The
Corvette offers a high level of comfort with such standard features
as leather seating surfaces, air conditioning and power door locks
and windows. Originally introduced as a production car in 1953, the
Corvette is the oldest surviving name in American performance cars
to date. The C5 Corvette incorporates many new production techniques
including a hydro-formed chassis, full length perimeter frame and
flexible sheet-molded compound body panels. The 2000 is a carryover
with minor revisions including upgrades to the Z51 suspension and
new 5-spoke aluminum wheels.
