The C5 represented a substantial advancement in performance when compared to its forerunner, the C4. It boasted a stiffer chassis and introduced the LS1 V8 engine, which, even in its base configuration, generated 345 horsepower. This translated to impressive acceleration and nimble handling characteristics.

The C5 made a departure from convention by incorporating a rear-mounted transaxle. This design innovation contributed to a more balanced distribution of weight between the front and rear of the vehicle, thereby enhancing overall equilibrium and handling prowess.

Embracing modern materials and construction methods, the C5 utilized a hydroformed frame, composite body panels, and a lightweight aluminum suspension. These elements collectively served to augment handling prowess while also improving fuel efficiency.

A hallmark of the C5 Corvette was its ability to harmonize high-performance attributes with an accessible price point. This made it an attractive choice for sports car enthusiasts, delivering exceptional performance while remaining relatively cost-effective in comparison to its peers.

Why Would You Need an Upgraded Clutch?

With any power modifications installation of an upgraded clutch should be considered. You'll get a performance boost as well as unique, race-inspired shifting that sets your car apart from every other stock version on the road. Performance clutches hold higher torque capacity with better engagement and faster shifting.

The Mantic Stages Clutch System comes in a variety of configurations:

Mantic Stage Series Mantic Stage 1 and Stage 2 clutch kit cover assemblies feature the patented ER² Groove Design, which is a unique pattern CNC machined on the friction face of the pressure plate. This groove has been specifically designed to increase the Mean Effective Radius of the pressure place and assist in heat dissipation. The increase in the Mean Effective Radius of the cover assembly gives a significant increase in the torque capacity.
