In the case of NFS 3, EA might have been trying to simulate the actual gearing on cars they feature. Need for Speed prior to the Blackbox era did try to incoporate some realism compared versus now the games are just full-on arcade. Now I don't know much about the C5 Corvette, but I'm guessing the 6th gear is set to emulate an "overdrive" gear. For when you want to just cruise with the car on a highway.
Surprised this car isnt in GT7. We have every generation of the Corvette except the C5
Same here, it'll pop up eventually.
Yea having the C6, and ZR1, and C7 instead of the C5 in GT7 is wired
C1, X2 Gran Coupé, C3 ZR1 (or Stingray), C4 ZR-1, C6 ZR1, C7 Stingray/ZR1 and C8 Stingray are In GT7.
For some reason not the C5.
The same happened with Gran Turismo 2.
3:25 what a great leap of graphics!
the sound in NFS High Stakes is beautiful! 2:52
Most memorable Corvette ever
judging by car sounds, c5 was equipped with anything from vacuum cleaner to boat engine
I remember when i saw this generation on NFS Hot Pursuit 2 and compared it to Mazda RX-7 due of the pop-up headlights.
Screw EA for not putting the desert tracks on the PC version of HP2
No idea that there was a Corvette Game 😂. The speedometer/rev is the same as the Corvette too
I knew about it only because I saw it at a Blockbuster (when those existed) as a kid and got my dad to get me it.
Single brand racing games were never very popular, even NFS Porsche Unleashed flopped
I remember my low spoiler blue with vinyls C5 from GT6. That car was a 550pp monster
The blue with the stripes is probably why the GT5-6 Corvette C5 is my favorite use of the car. No other game I played had that color option.
@RandomCarGuy17 closest it gets is a NFS3HP Indy car 🤣
I never understood 6th gear being in an underpowered car, 5th to 6th up-shift does nothing in NFS 3.🤑

6th gear in a C4, C5 and C6 Corvette are for going at highway speeds at ~1500 RPM.
The Best LeMans Race Car IMSA Race Car and Trans am Race Car is where That Corvette in those Racing Games that is Look like.
