C5 Retires With Honors

2004 Corvette, Commemorative Edition
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.

  • 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.
