C5 Retires With Honors
Special C5 Corvette race cars (below right), with the designation of C5-R had seen consistent success in the most demanding race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This was a factory effort which had resulted in podium finishes (third place or better) in the last 29 races and victories in the last 20 races.
Keep your 2004 Corvette looking like it just rolled off the showroom floor with Corvette Guys car care products.
The C5-R record in the GTS class at Le Mans was impressive:
- 2000: 3rd and 4th
- 2001: 1st and 2nd
- 2002: 1st and 2nd
- 2003: 2nd and 3rd
A special Commemorative Edition, recognizing the Le Mans successes, was available for 2004. It consisted of a LeMans blue paint with silver / red center striping, Commemorative badges on the front bumper and rear deck (above), a shale interior with seat embroidery, an emblem on the interior waterfall area of the convertibles and a shale convertible top. The Z06 Commemorative Edition came with polished aluminum wheels.
Suspension tweaks improved handling of the Z06 without a sacrifice in ride quality.
