2001 Chevrolet Corvette

About this car

Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this 2001 Chevrolet Corvette, finished in a distinctive White and Red exterior over a Red leather interior. As part of Chevrolet's fifth-generation Corvette lineup, commonly known as the C5, this example combines recognizable American sports car styling with a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 and a Tremec T56 6-speed manual transmission. Under the hood is Chevrolet's 5.7-liter LS1 V8, displacing 346 cubic inches, paired with a Tremec T56 6-speed manual transmission. For the 2001 model year, the standard LS1 engine was factory-rated at 350 horsepower and 360 lb-ft of torque. The LS1 features an aluminum engine block and cylinder heads, representing a significant advancement over earlier small-block Chevrolet engines. Its overhead-valve design and electronic fuel injection became defining characteristics of General Motors' LS engine family. Slide into the Red leather interior, and the Corvette's driver-oriented cockpit places the controls and instrumentation within reach. The seating position reflects the car's low-profile design, while the Tremec T56 manual transmission provides direct control over gear selection. Air conditioning adds to cabin comfort, and an AM/FM radio provides entertainment during a leisurely afternoon drive. Additional convenience features include cruise control, power seats, power windows, and power locks. Power steering and power brakes complement the Corvette's performance-oriented design, while the combination of V8 power and manual shifting maintains the traditional sports car experience associated with the Corvette nameplate. The exterior features a White and Red color combination that distinguishes this example from more traditionally finished C5 Corvettes. The fifth-generation body design introduced smoother, more aerodynamic proportions while retaining recognizable Corvette characteristics, including retractable headlights and a low, wide stance. An interesting piece of Corvette history is that the C5 generation, introduced for the 1997 model year, marked the debut of the LS1 V8. The C5 also introduced a rear-mounted transmission transaxle arrangement, connected to the engine through a torque tube. This layout helped Chevrolet achieve a more balanced distribution of weight between the front and rear of the car. The 2001 model year brought additional refinements to the C5 lineup, including increased output from the LS1 V8. With its 346 CID engine, Tremec T56 6-speed manual transmission, distinctive White and Red exterior, and Red leather interior, this Corvette represents an important period in the development of Chevrolet's modern performance cars.
