The 2002 Chevrolet Corvette, in its fifth generation, is a classic all-American sports car well recognized for its raw performance and impressive handling. It's available either as a coupe, convertible, or hardtop. Under the hood, it's powered by a 5.7-liter V8 engine that pumps out 350 horsepower mated to a standard 6-speed manual transmission or an optional 4-speed automatic. RWD is the standard drivetrain. High-performance Z06 trim is available, featuring a more potent 405-horsepower V8. A top speed of 175 mph and acceleration from 0-60 mph in less than 5 seconds show its high-performance capability. Driver and passenger airbags, anti-lock brakes, and traction control are key safety features. The interior offers a decently equipped infotainment system with a CD player, though overall cabin design might seem dated by modern standards. The 2002 model year introduced Electronic Throttle Control, standard fog lamps, and several new color options.
