Product Description

With the new-generation Corvette C6 on the market, the previous body style, the C5, has become more affordable and will be modified in greater numbers by style- and performance-minded owners. Corvettes in general have always been ideal for customizing and performance upgrades, and the C5 offers a great platform for modifications, both cosmetic and performance-based. To date, C5 how-to information has been available only in enthusiast magazines. Corvette C5 Performance Projects features a detailed presentation of how to customize a C5’s appearance. It also walks C5 owners through a variety of performance modifications and shows them how to efficiently execute several basic maintenance projects.

Customer Reviews

A Great Book
This is a great book for the C5 owner. The information is honest and helpful. Corvette magazines give people a totally false picture about C5 performance. This book tells you what you can expect from a modification and how much your performance can be improved. This book can save you a bunch of money.

The instructions for each of the projects are very well laid out. If you have any mechanical ability at all you can take on just about every project in the book.

If you own a C5 you should get this book. It'll help you decide what to do next with your C5. After all half the fun of owning a Corvette is playing with it.

This is a great book

Corvette C5 Performance Projects:1997-2004
My car is new to me and I wanted to enjoy it and improve it. This volumn was a big help in that regard. The author includes many of the changes you may hear about and then he will let you know if they are really helpful for performance or not. It was a great source and very helpful in doing the things I wanted to do to the car so I could enjoy it and drive it often. I recommend the book.
