First production car on the planet to offer active handling ...many still don't have it. Back in 1995 when I got involved in the C5 project.. AH was already on the books to be designed in. Just some FYI . Yawl sensors ???? Yup, way back 20 years ago. This car is still advanced over many new production cars. Some of the AH test data was and still is simply amazing. Ive forgotten so much about this car since I've been retired. Threads like this remind me of just how right we made this car. Dave put most of the money in the Drive train. Yet we still see the clueless complain about poor seats, radio, etc. They talk about column lock... GM could Not put a column lock bypass on any C5, but the design of the CLB was the first thing I put on my car. Anything else would have delayed the launch.
The lock had to be DOT compliant. Overall the car still exists , despite all of the short comings, people seem to bitch about. in my 71 years, I've never seen so many people enamored by a platform that was designed 20 years ago. For those that don't know, this car was a clean sheet of paper, designed in two years, with 6000 parts from two dozen second than third tier suppliers who's production was over seen by GM engineering, all coming together at BG. The C5 was delivered on time and within budget, without the burden of the gas guzzler tax. It was a 100,000 dollar sport car that was delivered for 50 K. 30 MPG on the highway from a car putting out 350 hp. 2 overdrive gears. 20 years ago.
