- Coupe (1997–2004): Features a removable body-color or transparent Targa roof panel.
- Convertible (1998–2004): Built with a dedicated trunk space separate from the cabin, resolving the cargo issues of previous drop-tops.
- Fixed Roof Coupe / FRC (1999–2000): Offered a lighter, stiffer body configuration with a fixed structural roof. It was initially intended to be a budget model but laid the groundwork for the ultimate performance variant.
- Z06 (2001–2004): Built exclusively on the FRC body style. It features the higher-output LS6 V8, upgraded suspension, wider wheels, and thinner glass for weight reduction.
- LS1 V8 (Base models): 345 horsepower (1997–2000) upgraded to 350 horsepower (2001–2004).
- LS6 V8 (Z06 only): 385 horsepower (2001) upgraded to 405 horsepower (2002–2004).
- Transmissions: Rear-mounted Tremec T56 6-speed manual or a Hydra-Matic 4L60-E 4-speed automatic.
- 1999: Introduction of the Heads-Up Display (HUD) option and the debut of the FRC body layout.
- 2001: The Z06 model officially launches. Second-generation Active Handling stability control becomes standard equipment across all trims.
- 2003: 50th Anniversary Edition released, featuring exclusive Burgundy paint, shale interior, and the debut of Magnetic Ride Control.
- 2004: Commemorative Edition released to mark the end of the C5 generation. Base models received carbon fiber hoods specifically for the Z06 variant.
- EBCM Failure (Electronic Brake Control Module): Pre-2001 models (1997–2000) use an older EBCM design that is completely out of production and cannot be rebuilt. If it fails, standard braking works, but ABS and Traction Control are permanently disabled unless you source a rare used unit.
- Column Lock Issue: The steering column anti-theft locking mechanism frequently malfunctions, leaving the steering wheel permanently locked. Most owners install an aftermarket “Column Lock Bypass” kit to remove the physical mechanism entirely.
- Wobbly Harmonic Balancer: The factory crankshaft pulley balancer separates over time. It causes a visible wobble, belt squeal, and can eventually slide off and damage the front engine timing cover.
- Rocking Seats: The plastic shims inside the power seat tracks degrade, causing the seats to slide back and forth slightly under acceleration and braking. Cheap aftermarket shim kits fix this issue.
