2002 Corvette Overview

The 2002 series came with power in the Z06 model, containing a LS6 engine. It received a 20 horsepower increase and 15 lb-ft of torque increase. The upgrade to the LS6 engine's output was due to the new hollow stern valves, a higher-lift camshaft, a low restriction mass air flow sensor and a new low restriction air cleaner design.

The Z06 also came with a high-performance suspension system that features a larger front stabilizer bar, a stiffer leaf spring and specific camber settings, all of which were calibrated for maximum control during high-speed operation. The 2002 model Z06 also had new rear shock valving for a more controlled ride.

Other upgrades in the 2002 series Z06 Corvette include aluminum front and rear stabilizer bar links, aluminum automatic transmission cooler case, and cast aluminum wheels. Magnesium wheels were no longer available on the coupe and convertible. The new exterior color was Electron Blue.

2003 Corvette Overview

Since its inception in 1997, the fifth generation Corvette has achieved many things both on the road and on the racetrack. The tradition continues into 2003, the final chapter of the C5 era, with the Commemorative Edition Corvette. This Corvette was produced to share all the Le Mans victories with Corvette enthusiasts. The 2003 Commemorative edition Z06 features a new carbon fiber hood and a graphic and color design that makes it look like the C5-R. Commemorative coupes and convertibles were also available in 2003.

The Z06 has been improving drastically over the last couple years and that does not stop in 2003. There were two major performance upgrades to the Z06. One of the major upgrades is the lightweight, race-inspired carbon fiber hood. The other is the revised chassis that allows for quicker turns and better overall handling.
