2002 Chevrolet Corvette

2002 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale This 2002 Chevrolet Corvette is a clean, well-optioned C5 coupe showing just 59,000 miles, powered by the 5.7-liter LS1 V8 that defined the fifth-generation car. In the 2002 Corvette the LS1 was rated at 350 horsepower and 360 lb-ft of torque, and it remains one of the most respected GM small-blocks of its era for its blend of usable street power and long-term durability. This is a factory-original example with the kind of options list that C5 buyers actively look for.Power runs through a 4-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels. One of the defining engineering features of the C5 is its rear-mounted transaxle, which places the transmission at the back of the car for a near 50/50 front-to-rear weight balance. The result is a chassis that feels far more composed and planted than its predecessors, and a big part of why the C5 is still regarded as the generation where the Corvette grew into a serious all-around sports car rather than just a straight-line performer.This car wears a blue exterior over a black interior and carries several of the desirable factory options. The removable targa top is the signature feature of the C5 coupe, and this one includes the secure in-hatch storage system so the panel travels with you when the roof is off. Inside, it is equipped with the head-up display, which projects speed and other key readouts onto the windshield, along with the Bose premium audio system. Together those options put this example a clear step above a base-equipped C5.At 59,000 miles, this is a low-mileage example of a generation that is increasingly being recognized as a future collectible, particularly clean factory-original coupes with the better option packages. For a buyer who wants an analog-feeling modern Corvette with strong V8 power, open-top driving, and a layout that still holds up dynamically, this 2002 coupe makes a strong case.NFI Empire specializes in classic, exotic, modified, and luxury vehicles.
