2001 Corvette Z06 by Hib Halverson
Cutting Edge Handling
1) Stiff structure: backbone construction with enclosed driveline
tunnel and hydroformed outer frame rails make the car’s structure
one of the stiffest in the world. Hardtops are the stiffest of all
C5s because they have both the Coupe’s "top bow" and the
Convertible’s extra crossbar behind the seats. Bodywork behind the
windshield and above the belt line is bolted to the windshield
header and is bolted and bonded to the rear deck. The underbody
structure, the fixed roof and the lack of the big hole in the back
for the Coupe’s hatch make the Hardtop about 12% stiffer in torsion
than a Coupe with its roof in place. Rocket scientists out there
will be interested to know the convertible’s first torsional
frequency is 20hz. Coupes with the roof out are at 20.5hz and, with
the roof on, jump to 22hz. The Z06 is a stout, 24hz.
