I was comparing this car against a Chrysler crossfire SRT6 a Porsche Boxster s and a BMW Z4 coupe.the only car that came remotely close was the Porsche.the Chrysler was wicked quick but it drove horribly over pavement and the build quality wasn’t there.the bmw was awesome handled great but wasn’t super quick but was great looking.the Porsche was awesome handled amazing was quick great manual transmission great sounding 6 yet having owned a Porsche I knew how much it wouid cost to maintain correct and that’s a small fortune.the corvette was by far the best all around vehicle.very fast handles great great looking very reasonable cost of ownership and tons of modifications that you could do that wouldn’t break the bank.it really is the quintessential sports car.I’ve owned 50 cars only my Ferrari 328 I had back 20 years ago was better all around outside of maintenance.also drive it halfway normal and you’ll approach 30 mpg highway.not bad for a 4.7 second to 60 pre mod sports car

Amazing, beautiful timeless body lines, My C5 Targa top Z51 with extreme contact sport tires handles world class...Incredible value, 40 yrs from now this car will still be magnificent, At only 3150 lbs. its very fast.

For the price of a new cheapo Honda or Toyota you can have a car that will do 0 - 60 in 4.5 seconds, hit 170 MPH top end, get 32 MPG on the highway and carry 25 cubic feet of cargo. There's nothing else like it for the money

For a car thats over 20 years old, people who see it think its a newer car. While it doesnt have all the newest technology, it have just enough, and somethings that even more modern cars do not. Like being able program for yourself a new key fob, or your tpms, etc. Driving this car is a dream, and in my case a dream come true. If youre considering a C5 Corvette, do your research, you will not regret it.

Flip up headlights are perfect and more rounded body style is what I live about the c5.
