GENERAL MOTORS TO SELL CORVETTE C5-R RACECARS TO CUSTOMERS

General Motors Racing will implement a customer car program this year to deliver a race-ready version of its successful Chevrolet Corvette C5-R to buyers with a passion for performance. GM has agreed with its partners, Pratt and Miller (chassis) and Katech (engines), to sell as many as five vehicles in 2001. GM Racing has received several inquiries from private race teams seeking the powerful C5-R and has accepted deposits on two vehicles.
