2001+ Performance Figures
So i want to buy a used sports car, and I've decided on the C5 Vette due to the light weight, great handling and straightline power. I want to get the base model because it's cheaper then the C5Z, and i prefer the hatch look to the FRC look. Not to mention the Targa Tops will be a nice touch. Now i know the base coupe with the LS1 was rated at 345 Hp and 350 Tq and ran 0-60 in 4.7 and the 1/4 in 13.2 i believe. But i know from 2001 and up Chevy upped the LS1 to 350 hp and 375 tq for the manuel. Seeing as how i prefer manuel cars, i was wondering what kind of performance increase will i see with that extra 25 torque?

Overview of the 2001 Corvette
DETROIT -- The Chevrolet Corvette has been America's favorite sports car for 47 years, with more than one million sales and counting. During that time the Corvette has continually evolved and improved, always with an eye toward delivering a maximum amount of driving pleasure to those valuing high performance. For 2001, Corvette takes high performances and refinement to another level. "Corvette for 2001 offers more in several dimensions ... more performance, more agility and more refinements," said Dave Hill, Corvette chief engineer. "Corvette owners will be surprised and delighted at the result. We've expanded the envelope in every direction, especially with the new Z06."
NEW FOR 2001
For 2001, Corvette coupe and convertible models get a healthy injection of power, especially at lower speeds where it is most noticeable. They also get more agility, with the enhanced Second-Generation Active Handling system - a system that is now standard on all Corvettes.
In the area of refinement, Corvette buyers will appreciate better noise isolation, better idle quality and many other changes made to improve the overall ownership experience - and 2001 Corvettes even offer reduced maintenance costs and better fuel economy.
Perhaps the biggest part of the Corvette story for 2001 is the introduction of the new Corvette Z06, a production vehicle that's ready for the racetrack. Based on the former hardtop model - already the lightest, stiffest and quickest Corvette - it is a car aimed directly at diehard performance enthusiasts at the upper end of the high-performance market. It is very simply the quickest, best handling production Corvette ever, setting new standards in every part of the high-performance spectrum.
The Z06 designation was chosen to honor the efforts of Zora Arkus-Duntov, Corvette's first chief engineer, who in 1963 created the original Z06 package. Zora's special package was intended to make the then-new Sting Ray race-ready right out of the showroom, and today's Z06 has been developed with the same concept in mind.
MORE PERFORMANCE
Corvette coupe and convertible models for 2001 get more horsepower from the standard LS1 V8 - 350 hp (up from 345) - but the real story is a big boost in low-end torque.
Torque is what most customers really mean when they ask for "more power," and down low in the torque curve is where 2001 Corvette drivers will really feel the difference. Corvette engineers opened up the intake system, enabling the LS1 engine to pull in more air and the camshaft profile to be moderated in lift and overlap. The results are significant.
300 lb-ft is delivered at 1,000 rpm - 400 rpm earlier than before
320 lb-ft is delivered at 1,400 rpm - 800 rpm earlier than before
340 lb-ft is delivered at 2,500 rpm - an amazing 1,400 rpm earlier than before
Maximum torque of 360 lb-ft for automatics, 375 lb-ft for manuals, arrives at 4,400 rpm

Stability Control System
Name Second-Generation Active Handing
Function Works with Corvette’s ABS and Traction Control systems to assist the driver in keeping the car stable and balanced in emergency or spirited driving conditions - on wet or dry surfaces.(4) Carefully calibrated to avoid unwanted intrusion into thedriving experience.
Special Componentry Brake pressure modulator, steering wheel angle sensor, lateral accelerometer, and unique core software algorithms.
2001 Improvements
Active Handling is now standard on all Corvette models
New lighter-weight Bosch 5.3 pressure modulator provides better overall response and improved pressure apply times in cold weather.
Electronic rear proportioning algorithm eliminates rear brake proportioning valve.
New algorithms for more precise, less intrusive control of sideslip angle rate, rear brake stability and wheelspin.
The unique-to-Corvette Competitive Mode may now be activated without bringing the car to a stop
(4) A Note of Caution: The overall effectiveness of the Corvette Active handling System is directly related to available tire traction and the aggressiveness of a given maneuver. Active Handling is designed to use existing traction to assist the driver - but it cannot overcome the laws of physics. Please drive responsibly.
