This car was fun to drive and powerful enough to enjoy on long road trips. Had many nice features and accessories. It was solid as to fit and finish. I always worried about scraping the bottom going into driveways. Despite hoping to own it a long time, it was nearly crushed when a mini monster truck drove over its rear end.

This C5 Corvette is a jewel. Appears like a new model, fresh from the dealer’s showroom. Very well designed for the novice sports car enthusiast. My only issue was the single cup holder too small.

I have owned a vette since 1969 and each and every one was very special to me. The Vette I own now is a 1998 Torch Red, black interior,this Vette was a Museum delivery car, I had the opportunity to watch as it was being built, and I was first to start it. This Vette has a lot of sentimental value and I probably will keep it for the rest of my life. It now has 8913 actual miles on it.

Color is great . The convertible version of the 1998 added the trunk. Plus there was a reduction of over 1500 components which reduced weight and potential rattles. I prefer the convertible model. Great car
