2005 Chevrolet Corvette Restoration Kit
Product Information
Sixth-Generation Corvette Melds Power, Passion, Precision
Marking the sixth generation of its legacy, the 2005 Chevrolet Corvette delivers more power, paSSion and
precision to reach a new standard
of performance car excellence.
The 2005 Corvette is more competition-influenced than any previous Corvette. The goal was a
performance carthat would be at home in virtually
any environment. That means raw performance, .
improved ride comfort, a precisely built and technically sophisticated interior and contemporary new body.
"The sixth generation represents a comprehensive upgrade to the Corvette," said Dave Hill, Corvette
chief engineer and GM Performance Cars vehicle line executive. "Our goal was to create a Corvette that
does more things well than any other performance car."
The car features dramatic new styling, the new 6.0L V-8 engine that produces 400 horsepower and 400
lb.-ft.
of torque (298 kw and 542 Nm), a revised suspension and more powerful brakes. It delivers
extreme performance capabilities and offers value, style, qualityand comfort.
The 2005 Coupe production begins in the summer
of 2004, with the Convertible following in the fall of
2004. European sales begin in October, and other regions by early 2005. All models will be built in
Bowling Green, Ky.
. Exterior styling
The Corvette combines classic cues with an expressive new design. While the styling team used the
latest advanced computer-aided design techniques, they relied heavily on traditional hand sculpting.
Sculptors pored over every millimeter
of the car's surface. The aerodynamic development combined
digital simulations, Corvette Racing experience and more than 400 hours of wind tunnel testing.
The driving force behind
the exterior was to keep it fresh, yet distill the paSSion exemplified by the.classic
mid-year Corvettes of 1963-1967.
The newCorvette is 5 inches (127 mm) shorter and about 1 inch (25 mm) narrower than its predecessor.
Larger wheels (18-inch in front, 19-inch in rear) are topped
by dramatic fender forms. Exposed
headlamps (not seen on Corvettes since 1962) combine with the grille to create a stronger "face" on the
car. The fixed Xenon High-Intensity Discharge lamps provide superior lighting performance.
The Coupe's removable-roof panel is 15 percent larger, yet offers the same structural stiffness as C5's
while weighing just 1 pound (0.45 kg) more. The tapered rear deck and fascia improve high-speed
performance.
The lean rear design sports round taillamps and center-exit exhaust.
The ability to keep lines and surfaces smooth was supported
by technology. For example, the Keyless
Access system replaces traditional mechanical door and hatch handles with solenoids and electronic
actuators.
At 0.28 coefficient of drag, the C6 is the most aerodynamic Corvette ever, and has improved anti-lift
characteristics that improve high-speed stability.
The Corvette Convertible
The 2005 Corvette features an optional power-operated soft top. An e~sy-to-operate manual top remains
standard. Both configurations use a five-layerfabric that conceals the underlying
structur~ for a good top-
up appearance, plus it helps preserve the car's excellent aerodynamics and reduces road noise.
Every option available on the Coupe can be had on the Convertible, including features
new to the
Corvette such as OnStar, XM Satellite Radio (continental U.S. only) and DVD navigation system.
OnStar is the leading provider of in-vehicle safety, security and information services in the United States
and Canada. Using the GPS satellite network and wireless technology, OnStarfeatures core safety
services and OnStar Personal Calling that allows drivers
to make and receive hands-free, voice-activated
phone calls using a powerful three-watt analog system and external antenna for greater reception.

Power
The 2005 Corvette features the new 6.0L V-8 LS2 engine based on GM's Gen IV small-block family. The
LS2 is the most powerful standard small-block engine ever offered in Corvette, and features:
• All-new 319-T5 aluminum deep-skirt block casting with cast-in-place iron cylinder bore liners and
cross-bolted main caps
• Cylinder head design derived from the C5 Z06
• Camshaft lift increased to take advantage of increased head flow
• Revised exhaust manifolds are 34 percent lighter
• Compression raised to 10.9:1
• More powerful engine controller incorporates all electronic throttle control (ETC) functions
With base curb weight starting at 3,179 pounds/1 ,442 kg (Coupe) and 3,199 pounds/1
,451 kg
(Convertible) the new Corvette is significantly lighter than its predecessor.
The car
is capable of 186 mph (300 km/h), faster than any production Corvette in history. It reaches zero
to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds, and
in 4.1 seconds with the optional Z51 Performance Package,
and covers the quarter-mile in 12.6 seconds at 114 mph (183 km/h).
Shifting gears
The Tremec six-speed manual features improved shifting characteristics thanks to numerous upgrades,
including new synchronizers that reduce travel by 10 percent, and a redesigned shifter lever.
The Tremec is available with two sets of ratios. The more aggressive gear set is reserved for Corvette's
ZS1 Performance Package and is tailored with numerically higher gears to improve acceleration. Also, a
numerically lowerfifth gear gives the
Z51 better fuel efficiency and a higher top speed than base models.
To increase durability in sustained high-speed situations, the Z51 and the base European manual-
transmission models have a transmission cooler.
The Hydra-Matic 4L65-E automatic transmission is an upgraded version of the CS's 4L60-E, strengthened
and revised to accommodate the LS2's torque. It includes GM's advanced Performance Algorithm
Shifting, which automatically selects the optimal gearfor a given driving condition.
To beef up the internals, a five-pinion planetary gear set was added -replacing a four-pinion gear set.
The extra gear reduces friction and loads carried by all the gears. For protection from the high
temperatures that are generated by high speed, a four-plate oil cooler has been added.
Settle inside
The passion of the exterior's design is reflected in an all-new interior. Even with the car's more compact
exterior dimensions, the new interior has just as much usable room -including class-leading cargo space
that can swallow two golf bags. Greatly improved materials, craftsmanship and functionality help deliver
premium quality meant to enhance performance driving.
The theme was inspired by Corvette's dual-cockpit heritage, with a flowing, wraparound upper feature
line. The result lends spaciousness to the passenger and a nestled cluster pod for the driver.
The instrument panel and doors are covered with cast-skin foam-in-place trim that looks like a leather-
wrapped, padded panel. It is warm and inviting and has double the life of conventional trim materials.
Aluminum trim adds richness.
An AM/FM radio with CD player and MP3 capability
is standard. New technology enhances conventional
radio reception. An improved optional Bose audio system with an in-dash six-disc changer and XM
Satellite Radio (continental U.S. only) add to the choices available to the audiophile owner.
A full-function OnStar system
is available, and for the first time, Corvette offers onboard navigation as an
option. Using a 6.S-inch (165 mm) color touch-screen display, the DVD-based system contains all the
map data for the United States and Canada
on one disc.

Chassis
Overall vehicle weight is significantly reduced, despite mass-increasing features such as larger wheels
and tires, more robust brakes and increased body acoustics. It also delivers a quieter, more pleasing ride.
The car retains the hydroformed steel rail backbone structure, which features cored composite floors, an
enclosed center tunnel, rear-mounted transmission and aluminum cockpit structure
Suspension cradles, control arms, knuckles, springs, dampers, bushings, stabilizer bars and steering
gear have all been redesigned. NewGoodyear Extended Mobility Tires (EMT) take advantage
of the
latest sidewall design and compound technology for run-flat capabilitie
Three suspension choices allow drivers to choose the setup that best suits their driving style. The
standard suspension is tuned for a balance
of ride comfort and precise handling. Corvette is now more
poised at even higher handling levels, yet easier to driv
The optional F55 Magnetic Selective Ride Control suspension features magneto-rheological dampers
able to detect road surfaces and adjust the damping rates to those surfaces almost instantly for optimal
ride control. The system has been improved to deliver more differentiation between the system's "Tour"
and "Sport" settings.
The Z51 Performance Package brings Coupe performance very close to the widely admired C5 Z06. The
Z51 offers more aggressive dampers and springs, larger stabilizer bars, and larger cross-drilled brake
rotors (13.4 inches/340 mm
in front and 13 inches/330 mm in rear) for optimum track performance while
still providing a comfortable ride.
With each suspension, three standard dynamic chassis control systems -anti-lock braking, traction
control, and Active Handling -operate in concert. In all, the newdynamic chassis control systems are
smarter, less intrusive and more adept at making the total driving experience precisely what drivers have
come to expectfrom their Corvette.
The Next Generation of Corvette Accessories
DETROIT -The sixth-generation 2005 Chevrolet Corvette can turn heads by simply standing still. Add to
that an all-new generation of accessories and the result is a Corvette enthusiast's dream.
While designing the 2005 Corvette's expressive new muscular form, GM took it one step further and
integrated accessories into the vehicle development. Corvette Chief Engineer and Vehicle Line Executive
David Hill worked with the accessories team at the onset
of the Corvette design process. "All Genuine
Corvette Accessories are engineered to meet strict OEM quality standards," said Hill. "The result is an
array of accessories with the best fit, best function and most tailored appearance for the Corvette." GM's
design studio created a genuine Corvette accessory logo that will be featured on many
of the new
accessories.
It's all about personalization. Corvette owners can customize the appearance of their vehicles by
alternating the standard ebony pieces with body-color trim pieces. Body-color accessories, including
interior trim, a center high mounted stop lamp, license plate holders and exterior door handles, offer 2005
Corvette owners an extra dose of vehicle personalization. There are also color-keyed interior options for
the shift knob and boot, and park brake handle and boot. A 10-spoke wheel will be offered
in multiple
finishes and aluminum sill plates coordinate with the standard metal interior accents. "Such high-level
integration with the vehicle ensures harmony between the vehicle and the accessories," ~aid Vicki
DeGrace, Corvette Accessory Program manager. "Genuine Corvette Accessories were deSigned to
enhance the appearance and meet customer needs."
To increase storage space, GM has designed a storage tray for the coupe and a storage pouch that
works in both the coupe and convertible. A windbreak reduces air turbulence when the Corvette is in top-
down cruising mode.
"Genuine Corvette Accessories offer the peace
of mind of a GM warranty -either 36 months/36,000
miles on installed parts,
or 12 months/12,000 miles on over-the-counter sales," said DeGrace. "The
Page 3

advantages
of Genuine Corvette Accessories are clear: most tailored appearance, OEM quality, and the
GM warranty."
