Is a corvette c5 considered an F-body
 

I just bought a 1998 corvette, I know longer own a camaro, is it considered an f-body still

um, no it's considered a corvette. an f-body is a camaro or trans am

a f- body is what the frame is so a corvette frame is completly different

i believe that would be correct

are these frames like f-body's, aka a unibody

that i'm not sure of

i think the vette may have an actual frame...sure looks that way when you see a cutaway of one.

A Corvette is in fact a unibody now I believe. However they have a full frame rail underneath versus two halves like the F-body platform. Earlier style Corvettes up until I believe the C4 had a full frame that the body could be removed from. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

yea I have seen that too, Im totally new to the vette, I traded in my 97 camaro for a 98 vette so I am no longer part of the club I guess

guess you can't be a member, trade you my f-body for the corvette....

not unless its a 2002 camaro ss with only 100 miles or less

hahahaha, i think your still allowed to be in, anyway i gotta get back to the water buffalo

um... yeah....

the corvette is a y-body, and the definition of frame vs unibody can sorta get tricky depending on personal opinions... in a 97+ vette(at least to '04) you can lift the body off the rolling "chassis" The torque tube setup is actually like a back bone for the drivetrain. all the parts motor trans rear suspension are worked together in a such a way that they all support each other. but techincally its a unibody though, lol. 82 and older were full frame cars.

Yep, the Corvette is a Y-body.

Hello guys and gals!
 

First of all, I want to say hi since this is my first post. I'm not new to the club, but I just got my account approved for the website.

Only two vehicles are F-body's: the Camaro and Firebird, and I'll bet if you go look at the fourth letter in your VIN, it will be an "F". A Y-body, which is a Corvette or the Cadillac XLR, incorporates a rear-mounted transaxle instead of a transmission mounted directly to the engine. Power is transferred to the transaxle via a torque tube.
