The 2004 Corvette was a major change from its predecessor the C4, the Corvette C5 featured a hydroformed box frame, a design that offered an improved structural platform, especially for a convertible body style. The transmission was relocated to the rear of the car to form an integrated, rear-mounted transaxle assembly, connected to the all-new LS1 engine via a torque tube — an engine/transmission arrangement enabling a 50-50 (percentage, front-rear) weight distribution for improved handling.

"The FRC (Hardtop) is really undervalued. This will truly be the only real classic C5. Not many made. I recently drove my car from Oregon to Florida. No problems and averaged 32mpg. Very comfortable. NO DRAMA! FRCs are not fast like a ZO6 - But they are quick. All the car value sites need to re-evaluate this model."

The LS1 engine initially produced 345 hp (257 kW), subsequently increased in 2001 to 350 hp (261 kW). The 4L60-E automatic transmission carried over from previous models, but the manual was replaced by a Borg-Warner T-56 6-speed capable of a 175 mph top speed. Relative to the C4, the new platform and structural design substantially reduced body squeaks and rattles.
