The already-legendary LS1 V8 engine shared with the convertible provides 350 horsepower and low-end torque over a broad range for outstanding acceleration and fuel economy for 2003 (estimated MPG 18 city, 25 highway for four-speed automatic and 19 city, 28 highway for six-speed manual). And you may choose from an available six-speed manual transmission or a standard electronically controlled four-speed automatic. The exhilarating power of the LS1 V8 is complemented by Corvette's racing-inspired four-wheel independent suspension, variable effort Magnasteer, massive four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, Traction Control and Active Handling System — all standard.

LS1: A 350-HORSEPOWER WORK OF ART.
LS1 is a code name for a performance masterpiece. And you'll find it under the hood of every 2003 Corvette coupe and convertible. Specifications include an aluminum block designed for stiffness, low mass, special camshaft design for excellent engine breathing and a 10.1:1 compression ratio that helps enhance engine power. But the numbers tell the real story: engine displacement — 5.7 liters, horsepower — 350 at 5200 rpm, torque — 360 lb.-ft. at 4000 rpm with the standard four-speed automatic transmission and 375 lb.-ft. at 4400 rpm with the available six-speed manual transmission.

Technical highlights of the 350 horsepower LS1 V8 (standard in coupe and convertible) include lightweight aluminum construction, Sequential Fuel Injection with composite manifold and Electronic Throttle Control.

The LS1 is ported like an overhead cam motor. Instead of curving around the pushrod, the air follows a straight path down to the combustion chamber. Reduced air intake restriction improves flow into the heads for better breathing and enhanced performance.

Fuel economy is impressive: estimated MPG 19 city, 28 highway(1) with the optional six-speed manual transmission on coupe and convertible

This optional feature "remembers" up to three preset positions for climate control, seat, mirrors, radio and power telescoping steering column. Great for households with more than one driver.

Now standard in all Corvette models, dual-zone temperature control lets the driver and passenger adjust the temperature settings for maximum individual comfort.

In the event the tire pressure in any of your vehicle's tires drops below 26 psi, this safety/convenience feature signals you via a message on the Driver Information Center. You can also check each individual tire's pressure to the nearest 1psi.

This audio system includes an Electronically Tuned Receiver (ETR) AM/FM stereo with cassette player, seek-scan, six-speaker Bose sound system, digital clock, automatic volume control and TheftLock. Auto tone control allows you to select from six equalization settings and tailor the sound to the music or voice being heard. Standard in all Corvette models

When the electrochromic mirrors are ordered, the outside driver mirror and inside rearview mirror automatically dim to reduce headlamp glare from other vehicles at night.
