While the color of the pace car used in the race was yellow, all 1986 convertibles also had an Indy 500 emblem mounted on the console, making any color a "pace car edition".

In 1991, all Corvettes received updates to the body, interior, and wheels. The convex rear fascia that set the 1990 ZR-1 apart from the base model was included on L98 Corvettes, making the styling of the expensive ZR-1 nearly identical to that of the base cars. The most obvious difference remaining between the base and ZR-1 models besides the wider rear wheels was the location of the CHMSL, which was integrated into the new rear fascia used on the base model, but remained at the top of the rear hatch on the ZR-1's.<sup id="cite_ref-Corvette_Black_28-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Corvette_Black-28"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>For the 1992 model year, the 300&#160;hp (224&#160;kW) <a href="/wiki/GM_LT_engine" class="mw-redirect" title="GM LT engine">LT1</a> engine was introduced, an increase of 50&#160;hp (37&#160;kW) over 1991's L98 engine.

The C5 was a completely new design featuring new concepts and manufacturing innovations, subsequently carried forward to the C6 &amp; C7. With a top speed of 176&#160;mph (283&#160;km/h), the C5 was noted by the automotive press as an advance, with improved dynamics in nearly every area over the C4. Innovations included a 0.29 drag coefficient, a notably lower weight with near 50/50 weight distribution, and active handling (the first stability control for a Corvette). </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Chevrolet_C5_Corvette_Convertible_(Les_chauds_vendredis_%2710).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4c/Chevrolet_C5_Corvette_Convertible_%28Les_chauds_vendredis_%2710%29.jpg/220px-Chevrolet_C5_Corvette_Convertible_%28Les_chauds_vendredis_%2710%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="100" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4c/Chevrolet_C5_Corvette_Convertible_%28Les_chauds_vendredis_%2710%29.jpg/330px-Chevrolet_C5_Corvette_Convertible_%28Les_chauds_vendredis_%2710%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4c/Chevrolet_C5_Corvette_Convertible_%28Les_chauds_vendredis_%2710%29.jpg/440px-Chevrolet_C5_Corvette_Convertible_%28Les_chauds_vendredis_%2710%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2234" data-file-height="1019" /></a><figcaption>Corvette C5 convertible</figcaption></figure> <p>An all-new LS1 aluminum engine (Gen III small block) featured individual ignition coils for each cylinder, and aluminum block and pistons.

A fixed-roof coupe (FRC) followed in 1999. One concept for the FRC was for it to be a stripped-down model with a possible V6 engine (nicknamed in-house as the "Billy Bob").<sup id="cite_ref-72" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-72"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>72<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> By 2000, FRC plans laid the groundwork for the return in 2001 of the Z06, an RPO option not seen since Zora's 1963 race-ready Corvette.<sup id="cite_ref-73" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-73"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>73<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Z06 model replaced the FRC model as the highest-performance C5 Corvette. Instead of a heavier double-overhead cam engine like the ZR-1 of the C4 generation, the Z06 used an LS6, a 385&#160;hp (287&#160;kW; 390&#160;PS) derivative of the standard LS1 engine. Using the much more rigid fixed roof design allowed the Z06 unprecedented handling thanks to upgraded brakes and less body flex.<sup id="cite_ref-74" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-74"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>74<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Those characteristics, along with the use of materials such as a titanium exhaust system and a carbon fiber hood in the 2004 model year, led to further weight savings and performance gains for the C5 Z06. The LS6 was later upgraded to 405&#160;hp (302&#160;kW; 411&#160;PS) for 2002–2004. Although the Z06's rated power output is equal to that of the C4 ZR-1, the improved rigidity, suspension, brakes, and reduced weight of the C5 produced a car quicker than C4 ZR-1.<sup id="cite_ref-75" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-75"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>75<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sixth_generation_(C6;_2005–2013)"><span id="Sixth_generation_.28C6.3B_2005.E2.80.932013.29"></span>Sixth generation (C6;

The C6 wheelbase was increased while body overhangs were decreased when compared to the C5. Retractable headlights were replaced with fixed units, for the first time since 1962. The C6 brought a new and improved interior compared to the C5. As a result of the upgraded interior, the C6 had a slight increase in passenger hip room. It also sported an updated engine called the LS2, which bumped the 5.7&#160;L (350&#160;cu&#160;in) LS1/LS6 to 6.0&#160;L (364&#160;cu&#160;in) and gained 50 HP, delivering 400&#160;hp (298&#160;kW; 406&#160;PS) at 6000&#160;rpm and 400&#160;lb⋅ft (540&#160;N⋅m) at 4400&#160;rpm, and giving the vehicle a 0–60&#160;mph (0–97&#160;km/h) time of under 4.2 seconds.<sup id="cite_ref-76" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-76"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>76<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Its top speed was 190&#160;mph (310&#160;km/h).
