Default C5 Chassis cutaway pics

Hi all -

Just got back from a road trip to the museum and assembly plant. Nice!

I thought this may be helpful, although I'm sure most of you who have been to the Corvette Museum already have these.

But just in case you haven't seen them, these may be provide some insight to what's beneath the carpet.

Nice pics. Very interesting to see a C5 w/o the body. It truly reveals the engineering that went into the car

Yeah, I highly recommend the trip to the museum and assembly plant. Just remember that the plant is only open for tours Mon - Friday.

I"m glad you liked the pics!

Now I have looked at quite a few pics on this site, but they could rank as the most interesting.

To see my car in detail without its panels on is excellent. Thanks for posting these shots.
