2000 Corvette C5 LS1 Overview

Corvette decided not to do anything crazy going into the new millennium. They stuck with the recently new Hardtop Corvette and made some new improvements to it as well. The Z51 Performance Handling Package was upgraded with the addition of larger front and rear stabilizer bars to help improve Corvette's handling characteristics. This suspension pack was standard on the Hardtop, and optional on the Coupe and Convertible.

There were also a few additions to the exterior and interior design of the Corvette. For example, the 2000 Corvette came standard with new 5-spoked forged aluminum wheels, available with an optional high-polish finish. The two new exterior colors for the Coupe and Convertible were Millennium Yellow and Dark Bowling Green Metallic. As for the interior, Torch Red was a new option.
