The 1997 Chevrolet Corvette is a mid-engine sports car manufactured by General Motors. It is the fourth generation of the Corvette and was produced from 1997 to 2004. The C5 Corvette was a significant departure from its predecessors, featuring a new chassis, body, and engine. It was also the first Corvette to be offered with a hardtop convertible option.
