Book excerpt: When the C4 Corvette was introduced as a 1984 model-year entry, it was a radical departure from any of the generations that preceded it. Gone were the Duntov-era swooping body lines in favor of a more angular approach, and gone was a platform that was long overdue for an update. It was a clean-slate redesign of America's sports car. If the C4 was revolutionary, the C5 design that was launched in the fall of 1996 was evolutionary with all-new technology. With an improved structural platform for better rigidity and weight balance, the squeaks and rattles that plagued the previous generation were gone. It was a better platform for the new LS1 and LS6 powerplants, and it was better suited for a new hardtop bodystyle to be produced along with the previous coupes and convertibles. In C5 Corvette: How to Build & Modify, author Brian Hult expands upon these improvements and takes them many steps further. The history of the C5 Corvette and its place in history are covered. Planning a project for your budget and its intended use is covered as well as modifications to the appearance of a C5. Also covered are engine builds and swaps, transmission and driveline upgrades, engine controls and tuning, suspension upgrades, brakes and steering, wheels and tires, and interior upgrades. The C5 Corvette has fallen into the affordable category and is a fantastic starting platform on which to build even further. This guide covers all the bases on the journey to build the perfect-for-you Corvette C5. Add a copy to your Corvette library today.
