C5 was the first generation GTR created. Jeff Nowicki, founder of Specter Werkes, looked at the C5 and said "that's a good starting point". He believed he could create a more aggressive looking, more functional Corvette by adding width to both the front and rear which resulted in changing out most body panels. By starting with the Z51 suspension package, achieving his targeted performance handling improvements were made simpler. Jeff's intent was to "deliver great performance, but maintain ride quality". Something not common amongst high performance supercars. To account for wider tires, the front end was widened by 3 inches while the rear was increased by 6. This made the necessary room for application of P245/45ZR-17 tires up front and P335/30ZR-18 tires in the rear. The car was also lowered a 1/2 inch which helped increase downforce and improved handling.
