man.. the face that he makes every time he floors it is priceless.. proper car guy flooring it face!!
The thing about the C5, C5 z06, and C6, is that despite them being "old" and such, they'll slap the shit out of most cars today in both a straight line and in the turns.
C5 Z06 has to be one of the cheapest performance cars out there for how good it is
Yes fuck the mustang I love the corvette
So awkward looking though.....stupidly ugly rear end. Interior? Parts-bin CRAP.
@@edvenuto9614 I agree
Absolutely end of story. They will spank a lot of cars this very day.
I bough an 01 convertible from my dad when he upgraded to a 2012 and I love it.
With a few minor modifications, I'm pushing 400 hp and 400 lb/ft. It's faster than pretty much everything. Trust me, you learn to ignore the 90's tech interior the longer you drive it. Part of the joy is the simplicity.
I'm a lawyer and a few weeks back, I pulled into a court parking garage. As I did, another lawyer got out of his jaguar and told me he wishes he had a Corvette.
People love the way it looks and sounds and always ask me for rides. It's not refined, which is part of the charm- it's brutal, it's fast, it looks great, and for some reason, people think it's worth way more than I paid.
hey i have a question to you because you own a c5. is the four speed auto a bad choice for the car . every deal ive found has the 4 speed over the six and i dont know if the four speed is a good gear ratio considering it like to race the car ? any responses could help , thanks !
John May Mine has the 3.15 rear end, which certainly helps in terms of acceleration. Also, a mod done prior to purchase was to remove the shift shock damper, making the 1-2 shift lightening quick.
I would have preferred the manual transmission (of course) for the control aspect, but can report that the auto is still seriously quick with the mods and equipment I have. I don't race my car, so I can't speak to that. Generally speaking, though, auto's aren't as good on the track. Moving the auto shifter through the gates isn't the easiest thing to do either.
However, the car is pretty darned quick with the auto. Around town, it's probably quicker than the stick because you don't have to worry about the clutch and shifting on your own. My dad has a C6 with a manual and he thinks so too.
I don't think the auto is a bad choice, but it depends on what you plan on doing with it. Around town, it's great. On the track, it's probably less than ideal.
If I had the choice of a manual or auto for the same money and wanted to track the car, I'd opt for the stick. In my case, I couldn't pass up the deal I got for an automatic. People think it's worth way more than it actually is and nothing is funnier than when some guy in a hopped up whatever thinks he is as quick as I am.
With very little investment, you can pick up big power. Mine was dyno tuned and has about as much power as the z06 from the same year, if not a bit more. Intake, exhaust, shift shock delete, headers and a dyno tune.
It's an awesome car. The interior is pretty cheap feeling/looking, but people get over that, especially if I hit it while the top is down.
Great value for lots of performance. If you can find a decent one with a stick, grab it if you plan on tracking it. If you don't plan on track racing, the auto is just fine.
Now go hunt for the one you want! Ask for any records of service and test drive the car. It's not a bad idea to have it looked at by a decent mechanic before buying.
Mine is hibernating through the winter, but I can't wait for spring.
John May Also, go to the corvette forums - there is a ton of info there and members are very happy to provide opinions and advice. corvetteforum.com is great, but there are others as well.
FejjNagaf thats so cool, wish we had a corvette in our family
My mom bought a Saturn sky it's fast I know corvette fast
one of the most beautiful cars ever created
Fuckin a
Woah there!
💯💯💯
Right on.
8:00 That is why we drive Corvettes. In every review they point out what's wrong with the car until they put their foot in it. Then its orgasmic.
Exactly. I have an '04
Just turning the engine on and hearing it is awesome
Exactly. I have a 1997 with SLP BlackWing cold Siri take, kooks headers, borla x-pipe and borla ATAK cat back exhaust and it sounds amazing.
Yeah, and he shifted before it even go going...............
Orgasm from a bucket of bolts ?! You ain’t doing it right brother !
all corvettes are beautiful no matter what year
+Zach Chicano C5 is the prettiest
driven every one of them execpt c7 which i will very soon
+Zach Chicano Without doubt the Corvette over the generations as a car design has had the best looking car compared to other car makers, porsche, bmw, lambo, jaguar, ferrari etc. All the other have had great looking cars at some time...but not just one model ...like the Corvette..ie. C1 1959, C2 1967, C3 1969, C4 1996, C5 2003,C6 zr1 2009, C7 2013...ALL GREAT LOOKING CARS OF THE SAME MODEL!!!
+studio7 you're half wrong.
im getting a 99 or 2006 very soon
The C5 is the most beautiful corvette of all time
Tom Farmer nah c7
C4
Element 115 to me the C7 never looked like a corvette. Awesome looking vehicle for sure but way too angular
Nitro Boy I have a 96 impala SS and I couldn’t agree more. Some of the plastic panels look like they were cut with a hacksaw😂 Still love the car though
C5 and C7
I owned a C5 convertible just like this one for 8 years and it was extremely reliable and yes you can hear everything while driving, the convertible is noisy. This car in 6th gear on the highway would do 30+ mpg all day long. It is a Chevy after all. Corvette are made for performance and affordability. This generation was very successful and very affordable today.
Yep it is very affordable can't wait to get mine in a couple of months !
20+ mpg? For a 345 hp car? That's fucking good as hell
Some people on the corvette forum average about 32 mpg at 70mph on the highway
irochoes87 The ls1s are fuel efficient and the vette is pretty light. It’s like 3100 pounds
Now most cars are such heavy pigs that car companies are forced to use extreme methods to meet the requirements. Making bodies out of aluminum, adding gear after gear to transmissions, making all manual cars have gears that are so short they're ridiculous(to force you to shift early so you get better mpg). Instead of keeping it simple like they did with the C5, lets add hundreds of pounds worth of technology bullshit and then destroy the car. Now a ton of cars have tiny 1 liter engines with turbos and it's fucking sickening.
Yea
The C5 is the most genuine generation of Corvette,it´s a shame the Corvette lost its hidden headlamps honestly gave the car more personality
Remember it started with fixed headlights though
Austin Hughes Yes i remember it, i must to say i.m also the Vette with fixed headlights but as say before the hidden headlamps gave a special essence to the Corvette. Thanks for your reply and greetings
I love the hidden headlights.
Para mí el C5 es la generación más bonita junto al C7,que pena que ya no se vean los faros escamoteables.
@@aylamiller5752 A mi tambien,me gustan más que los faros normales.
Interesting review. Just a note about the fuel mileage. You said that because it has a V8 that it would struggle to get good fuel mileage and would be at best 25 mpg. Actually, the great torque, low weight, low coefficient of drag and optimal 6th gear allow this car to easily get 30 mpg on the highway doing legal speeds. It's a phenomenally designed car.
@ 55 I can get 33 mpg all day in my 99. I have a 1.8l and a 2.0l at home that can't do that.
I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the C5 Coupe/FRC have a COD of .29 (?). I know it is slightly more slippery than the C6. As for the C7/C8, I dont know that info. I believe on the dyno my C5 took 13hp to achieve 60mph....
You are right had one myself but not convertible and was amazing of course bought brand new off show floor but has amazing mileage for the horsepower did some amazing stuff in that car that I will never forget😁😁
C5s are Soo under rated there a really cool super fun car for an amazing value it's still to this day one of the best handling cars out there I'm not to sure about the convertible but the coupe and hard top are near 50/50 weight distribution a few simple boltons and a tune really wake up the ls1 and for the coupe and frc the gas mileage they get upwards of 28mpg truly an awesome car for the money
They were designed as convertibles first, I believe, so there is not much sacrificed in the way of handling if you get one.
I like them, but I would have to do something about those seats.
***** the frc/z06 start out as convertibles, haha yeah c5's leave a lot to be desired but that's what makes these so cool the aftermarket support for these things are crazy
I love the c5 body style and the pop up lights. I test drove a 2004 today with 60,000 miles and it was lots of fun.
Scott Babcock I really like my C5. It feels heavier than it is when your driving easy, but the harder you push it, the less you notice it. It's a very well balanced car. I read a lot of reviews on the C5 before I bought one,
and most of them say that the interior is bad, therefore I had low expectations. I've been in a lot of 90's performance cars (rx7, miata, mustang, camaro/trans-am etc.) and compared to most of them - the interior is actually pretty good. I was impressed! The seats could use more support but they are very comfortable ( if you're not comfortable - start pushing buttons until you become comfortable ) Fuel economy is impressive to say the least, I get mid 20's running around on the back roads, having fun, going to work etc; Longer trips easily return over 30mpg. I love my manual.
Wrexicate bad ass man
Just wanted to point out, the C5 was actually rated to be quite safe around that time, So i'm not sure where the "It wasn't great for its time" came from
+Justa318i I agree the interior was fine even foe 2000. Its funny this guy is a subaru fan...ha they have got to be one of the worse looking cars going, also their interiors as way inferior to any corvette's.
+studio7
wrx fan - subaru has may be the nicest rally racing car like made for the street...
me not like it over e30/36/46 M3 for example, but the rally car like from subaru has very nice racing like kit.
Justa318i 1000% agree even the top option legacy has the shittiest interior , everyone who reviews a corvette say they have the lowest quality interior , these cars are the best bang for your buck hands down and it's American so they need to nit pick every single thing on the car. Again I don't care if it's an Sti or a legacy 3.5R they all have shit interiors compared to the vette
I will forever love this generation corvette. I am a corvette guy through and through so any and all corvettes I absolutely love but this generation in particular just seems the most usable and easy to drive anytime you want. And the fact that it’s the last generation with pop up headlights really makes me love it. I will own one of these one day soon. Great review Matt, thank you!
I personally love the c5 interior. Adds a bit of difference from other cars in the early 2000's
Looks like a 12 year old boy sitting in daddy's car.
its a boy in a daddy's car*
Testing body roll at 35mph?
I've always loved that low stance of that car. That OHV engine proves it's utility
It's literally pretty obvious that this guy literally has no idea, literally, what the word "literally" means. Literally.
no one does now in days
Nerd
+2manysecrets it's nerdy to let something like that bother you.
u literally think so, tho?
OBVIOUSLY!!! IT GETS THE JOB DONE!!!
Awesome car, I found 2009 c6 locally for $17800 asking price from private seller. mint condition all service records. Just best value all around.
unfortunately i didn't. Thats the only thing i don't have spare 18k laying around yet lol I could finance that amount no problem but not at that point in my life where i can pay all at once.
Dayum son. C6s are pretty good looking. Enjoy that!
Yea c6 are the best lookin imo compared to the c5 and c7
gaivoron Couldn't you have just gotten a loan from the bank and give the money to the seller?
TheCobruhAlienat0r I did, but approval takes a while. Seller sold the car, maybe its for the best the interest was a little high for me even though i have great credit. I will just save up in few years i will get a c6. i am still in college with a crappy job lol.
The small block Chevy may be" dated" as he states but it's hard to argue with its performance. I think it's more power full then anything even close to its physical size, it's rock solid dependable, parts are cheap and it will do much better then 25 mpg. Also there's a lot to be said for parts availability. If you happen to break down, even in the most remote small town, you can find parts.
I drove a new 5.0 Mustang a few months ago and I just drove an LS1 C5. The C5 felt waaay faster when I did a few 3rd gear pulls. It may be 80hp less but I guess the weight difference makes up for it. I fell in love the moment I turned onto the street and started moving. I think it's one of the best looking cars ever made also. So simple, yet elegant and aerodynamic at the same time.
Tommy West it’s about the liters. 5.7L. I wonder if anything with smaller liters made more than 340ish at that time.
preludeF20Bking Here are some comparable cars from the time, just off the top of my head:
The Ferrari 360 was out about the same time as this car; it had a 3.6L flat-plane V-8 w/ 5 valves per cylinder (3 intake, 2 exhaust). Made just under 400 hp iirc, naturally aspirated. It was well over $100,000 though, making it 3x the cost of a C5 Z06 (which actually performed better!)
Also there was the Porsche 911 Turbo (996); 3.6L TT w/ 415 horsepower. Boxer (flat) V-6.
The Porsche 911 Carrera S also had a 3.6L, except in normally aspirated form it had 290-320 depending on year/spec
BMW’s M5 and Z8 had the 5.0L V-8 w/ 400 horsepower. N/A
The BMW M3 was considered a direct competitor to the standard C5. It had a 3.0L (or maybe a 3.2L?) straight-6, making 333 hp. N/A.
350Z came out in 2003; had a 276 hp N/A V-6 w/ 287 ft/lb torque. Though slower and less powerful than the Vette, it was ~25% cheaper
WRX STi had a 2.5L turbocharged flat-4 making 320 horsepower
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo XIII had a 2.0L in-line 4 making ~300 hp
Mazda RX-8 had a 1.3L N/A rotary (well technically rotary motors are measured differently; in the conventional sense it was more like 2.6L which is still impressive) making ~250 hp
BMW’s X5 SUV (they called it SAV) and 540i sedan came with 4.4L V-8’s with 325 hp; there was a special variant of the X5 with a 4.6L V-8 that had more (I want to say 360 hp)
Porsche Cayenne Turbo had a 4.8L turbocharged V-8 (iirc) making 500 hp. The Cayenne S N/A had 400 hp.
I know there’s more, but those are the main ones.
None of these had the performance AND value of the C5/Z06
Edit: Forgot to add the C5 specs
1997-2000: 345 hp, 350 lb/ft
2001-2004: 350 hp, 375 lb/ft
(6-speed manual only; auto was limited)
Z06 (2001): 385/385
Z06 (2002-20904): 405/405
Both had N/A 5.7L pushrod V-8’s
I’ve never regretted getting mine and see why there so loved
I was born in 1999, & A week ago I bought a 1999 corvette. I love it, best car I’ve ever had & ive had hemi chargers, mustang gt, camaro. Corvette is king!! Btw I love the interior better than any car I’ve had.
We’re in 2019 and I’m looking into buying a 2000 corvette C5 just like this one but black on black with 132,000+ miles for $10,677 at a local dealer. The car is 19 years old but still looks damn good. I think I’m going to go for it👍🏼👍🏼
Very nice review, C5's are beautiful.
I just picked up a triple black 2000 6 speed manual with Corsa exhaust and Air intake upgrade. Good review. Love it when you floor it and all you see is smiles
I picked up a 2004 convertible for around 18K. Very affordable and awesome car to cruise around in. Lots of power and looks cool too! I have only 40K miles too! These C5’s are really great cars and you can bet they move too!!!
Just picked mines up yesterday , 2001 c5 112,xxx miles on it for 8,500 . And I love it!! Great review Matt
LSX Tapia hey I'd love to know how's she's doing looking at one my self that's pushing 120,xxx for 10k, also where the hell did you find a deal like that
@@ryw00d this guy in texas is selling a 2002 Z06 with 120k for only $10k... a couple months after I bought a rebuilt title 99 FRC for 8k. Sad.
From an educated 1999 corvette owner- 174k miles. The radio, climate control, and cup holder cover still function no problem! The seat does not tilt forward freely necessarily - it goes a small amount forward (declining) - but to decline the seat up all the way there is a lever on the back. 52 mph top of 1st gear :). Bose sounds great - best base in a car without a sub. Sub par safety? I don't know about that. Highway 33 MPG @ 80 mph - dash reads 35 but it is typically off 2 MPG (I'm not talking about instantaneous MPG but extended driving 80 miles+), but fantastic MPG - it is the most aerodynamic vette made. A couple other notes - my car is optioned with memory seats/telescoping steering wheel, heads up display, active handling, and traction control - pretty dang advanced for a 1999.
Wow that's some good mpg. I have a 02 C5 with automatic and get around 27mpg at 70mph. Mine is still all factory stock so maybe a exhaust upgrade among other things has boosted yours up some? My interior has aged over the years. I noticed things are a bit squeaky and loose feeling now. I never was impressed with the interior in the first place but I didn't buy it for the interior either. I really despise the climate control system but to be fair I'm just old school and prefer old time manual controls. My convertible top has started leaking too. I washed it the other day and found watar all on the dash and seats. Leaks around the rear window somewhere and pretty badly apparently. Has always been garaged and never spent a night outside. I guess age gets us all at some point lol. Mine has 90k on it now. Couple years ago it started dropping some oil from the rear main somewhere. I just enjoy it and not let the aging process bother me
I got a '98 Convertible with about 83k miles on it. Used to be my grandma's before she passed away, got handed to my mother, but she doesn't drive it often, so I am really the only one that does. Front right leaks air a little, so every couple mornings, I have to fill that up, but that's something I'm willing to do to drive that thing. Climate Control display is shot, but everything still functions, just a little bit of a guessing game, that's all. If I try really hard, I think I could get my MPG up to around 29-30, but I like to have a little fun (don't we all?). Ours is an automatic, we have all the same things, just not the telescoping steering wheel. A couple minor issues that really aren't that bad compared to some other things that could happen on a car that's not nearly as reliable as this.
One other note, I'm a sophomore in HS, we have a group of people that drive Mustangs that think they're the coolest people in the school (3 V6 Mustangs and 2 EcoBoosts). They're always sitting in the parking lot at the end of the day revving them when people walk by. Some days I wish drag racing was legal, because we don't have anywhere that we could do that remotely close to where I live...
not one of his better reviews.... i hope , other than the obviouse delight he gets when throttling it , nobody take this information to seriouse lol...... not safe.....ok.... go review a 1979 vette lol, whatever, hes learning !
This is the best C5 review ever!! Ive seen a bunch.(there arent too many)
Seriously this is my favorite car. Thanx man
Nice REview Man Love the VIDS!!
I just test drove a 2000 targa top last week with a lingenfelter built ls1. Literally could not stop cheesing the whole time I was driving it, those engines sound so damn good. Getting the finances in order to buy it this week! It's gonna be my first manual and first sports car for that matter too...
i used to do all the p.r. for north american vehicles when these came out.and they have changed my life.in the uk it is near impossible to get one of these beasts.good job my brother has one.
Matt I think you need to revisit the C5. This car is legendary. I don't believe you deserve all the hate in the comments, but I do agree with some.
+ it is more spacious than you gave it credit for
- the interior was okay at best even for it's time
+ it handles exceptionally well and hauls ass like a muscles car
Great review man, dont be afraid to call cars out on their weaknesses though!
Good review man. I had a C4 and C5. Corvettes have always been a good value. Yes the interior is cheap, but overall it's fun car to drive. There is a vast aftermarket for every part of the car to elevate it from good to great. The LS engine is very reliable and easy to work on.
I love the C5 and this example in red is lovely. Although I agree I am not into chrome wheels.
I really like how low you sit in the C5 Vette... Or really any of the to be honest. I've sat in a C4, a C5, and a C6 and they all feel basically the same. It feels like your putting your legs in a tunnel. I've always thought that the C5 is a pretty good looking car considering it's around 10-20 years old depending on the year. That Vette in specific sounds REALLY good too. :)
Cant wait for a corvette, getting one on my second term in the military.
Matt always giggles when a car giddy ups!!!👍👍👍😎😎😂😂
Great review :) loved it
I just bought one of these. So interesting to see a young man like you review this car. I dig it. Take care ❤
Also if you wanna come review mine which is automoatic sometime you are more than welcome. It’ll be my 5 min of fame.
That big smile on your face is what corvette is all about! I've been driving a 02 C5 for 8 years now. It's not good for a damn thing but fun but hell thats what they are for. I remember my first impression was how good it rode for a sports car. I was expecting a chuck wagon ride. I've rode on older vettes as my dad worked at the corvette plant for 42 years. The C5 was a big improvement in its day
My 2002 convertible is a little noisy but listening to the engine and exhaust are what makes me love this car. Not to mention the 23 to25 mpg in town and 28 to 31 mpg highway, with only 40,000 miles it will make a lot more smiles.
That steering wheel looks huge for a sports car! Sweet review!
>Convertible review
>roof is up the whole review
Porbably would have been really hard to hear his audio. Guess a mic mighta helped
At least put it down for a minute, come on
That's what a Corvette does, puts a smile on your face when you nail it. Happens every time.
Great video Matt :)
What a beautiful car. I love vettes man I hope I can get one one day!
Very Cool Review :) Im looking for to buy one actually !
Really good review....thank you.
I get 32 mpg on the highway in my 2000 c5. Great highway cruiser at the legal limit. That 350 ticks over at about 1650 rpm and will hummmm all day.
The most comfortable car I have ever sat in was a C5
Great revue - you should get yourself onto BBC Top Gear - they need people like you!
Hit the brakes on the way to a bowling practice.. ouch
I've owned a 2004 C5 since 2005 and i fukin love it, its just perfect
Nice. Trying to get a C5 right now.
What a Beauty seriously..The C5 and the C5 z06 ARE becoming one of my Favorite...The chrome ZR1 wheels are so kick ass...
Nice review. Thank you.
Great looking car..even today..lovely interior..compare this interior with other interiors of the day..I dont know why people knock the interior..its actually nice looking. Performance is fantastic..I want one..but a coupe..I'm British so they are expensive to buy and moreover expensive to service for parts etc. You lucky Americans dont know how lucky you are..haaa.
Good review!
Corvette. The name speaks for itself. 💯
Please stay on review for this particular vehicle people. I have a simple 2004 automatic black/black convertible and, as much as I love the new body style, I will hold on to this for some time. It's a simple LS1 engine but more than enough power (outside of racing) than I need for practical useage. It does sit low to the ground and is a noisy ride, but isn't that why we bought it in the first place...to feel the road? This is a simple man or woman's sports car designed not for luxury. I previously owned a 98 but decided to move to the 04 due to the simple facts that I love the retractable headlights, and I figured they had worked out all the bugs of the earlier C5's. My 98 had several encounters with steering column lock and needed flatbeds. No factory recall, just an aftermarket fix. I wonder what's in Jay Leno's garage? My 04 LS1 convertible is the best vette yet! $25K for 25K miles, not a bad deal if you ask me. She's my baby! lol
Scott Young yea do a review of a automatic c5 please
Love the C5s. the interior (especially the seats) are not the best, but the bang for the buck is wonderful. Not digging the ZR1 wheels on this one, though.
The sound, smell, feel and road manners of old sports cars is what we old school fans like. Not to mention the tremendous bargain they are today.
Nice car, Austin. Those wheels go well with it.
I think this Corvette is much more beautiful than any of the newer ones. This is when Chevy made good cars.
Pretty sure my 99 Monte Carlo had the same stereo lol. I love how simple gm keeps things. I will always remember the c5 vette in nfs hot pursuit. Love my vettes and maros.
Haha me too. Actually i bought a c5 because i played that game as a kid
Great Video !
The smile on this guy's face just about summed it all up...
Amazing car !!! It's my dream.
C5's are gorgeous
I like the C5 over the C6. I just bought a red C5 covertible, 2004 automatic, mint condition, 42,000 miles. I like the look of the C5 over the C6. I sat in a C6 and the interior seems smaller than the C5. Now the C7 though is a badass mother.
"It has one of these seat belts" laughed so hard when I saw that!! :D When I was living in Canada and got to ride in quite a few dated American cars, and I also wondered what those were :D
If he thinks he's cramped in that car me and my buddy are both 6'3" and ride around in C4 corvette... Although we still have plenty of space... He over exaggerating how small the cars interior is...
I have a 2002 C5 convertible magnetic red metalic, I don't have any complains I love my car. I love the interior I love the wheels the pain everything's For me is a super car.😎😎😎😎👌.
Could you do a Pontiac Trans Am WS6 2002 review? Thanks
Giorgio Devez. Really? you want this guy to do another review? Oh geesh!
He looks like Kate McKinnon
I'll save you and him both a lot of time. It will be exactly like this but slower since it has the exact same engine and transmission but weighs ~300 lbs more.
Please try a 1967-69 camaro love the first gen
That would be great
Corvettes are the greatest cars ever made. A true example of America this is our iconic symbol. Corvette American muscle
HARRISON AUTOS ALWAYS HOOKIN' DA=IS BOI UP
Congrats on the Mustang. Make a video of you picking it up and driving it home for the first time.
Karan Sehmi Thanks! Will do!
Shouldn't you be congratulating his fans for paying for a large portion of it?
Nice car
Nice review, I have an 01' Torch 6speed convertible and there isn't a car in the world I would rather have for under $20k!
Cool car!
My dream car! 😍
Anyone know the best year for a base line vette, regarding dependability and performance? I love my Mustang, but the mid 2000's vettes are hot looking. I don't need 500 hp, just something dependable with a bit of nut.
you should make a compilation video of all your acceleration reactions lol
This isn't a "review", it's "my first impressions about a car I don't know anything about."
My gpa and I might buy a yellow 2000 corvette soft top convertible at an auction and I REALLY hope we get it
I'm 6 foot 250lbs. This car fits me really well
Thank you! ThAts my size too. I’m selling my C4 and possibly getting one of these.
I had the same radio in my 99 silverado lol
I always go to you to see what car to pick up next and yeah an old corvette is no good
I know it's a lot of acceleration, but just breath Matt. You'll change fewer shades of red. -I don't agree w/all you critiques but overall good review.
Still beats a lot of today's cars.
Harrison autos sales has a nice rx-8 that I would love to see a review of it
Subaruwrxfan643 It's an automatic or else I would.
Love my 2000 triple black 6 spd convertible w Corsa exhaust
Another kid finds out the C5 corvette is a bad mother ! The younger generation has been brain washed into thinking the Japanese cars are the coolest .
I agree, I'm a part of said generation, and while I like some Japanese sports cars I'd never prefer it over American muscle (or sports car like the vette). No replacement for displacement. Plus who hates a big beefy red white and blue v8?
+MrJubbey My favorite cars are both 88 ford thunderbird turbo coupe and 88 nissan skyline R31 GTS-R so I like both american and Japanese cars(im apart of the generation(16) you mentioned)
DarkVoid I have a japanese truck its an 86 Land Cruiser. I like both American and Japanese cars why can't you have the best of both worlds?
I just drove my friends 6 speed C5 today and it was fucking incredible. After driving a Civic for years that car felt like a rocket. I'm now shopping for one and I don't even plan on upgrading the car other than a loud exhaust. It has more than enough power to get arrested or killed as is.
Nah. I'm 16 and I'm considering purchasing a 97-02. There's no replacement for displacement.
I love corvettes ever sense I went to corvette diner I’ve been obsessed with chorvettes
subaruwrxfan, you need to do a C5 Z06 as you have not done one yet and there are very few reviews out there of them. ;-)
Just got a 2007 C6(upgraded from '98 C5) for 19k w/ 80k miles on it. Got it with automatic cause I just prefer it for daily driving cause I can relax more. This is probably the best upgrade I've ever done in history but will definitely will miss my C5....
Black convertible, black interior, automatic.....still.....LS1. In the famous lyrics of Loverboy, I'm loving every minute of it!
