I flipped my first C5 into a ditch when I was 25. Low-speed crash luckily. No defense here, I was going through a divorce, and was vert volatile at the time. I don't even remember what had me going, but I was driving like a pissed off teenager. It went sideways during a burnout and straight into a deep ditch. I walked away with a scratch on my foot, and DEEPLY hurt pride. I walked away from the performance car world for 3 or 4 years after that, but it eventually pulled me back in. I made sure to get VERY good tires this time, and thoroughly check my surroundings before I do any hooning now. haha

29 year old here. I was one of the first "younger" people to realize the potential of C5 Corvettes while everyone else my age just thought of them as "dad's car". I bought my first one, a 2002 6 speed coupe at age 20. My world was forever changed. It's hard to imagine having more fun in a car to be honest. The driving characteristics of the C5 are amazing, the handling, acceleration, everything. The potential for modifications is as large as your imagination, and the monstrous bellow of the LS engine will put a big smile on your face every time you drive it. I cannot recommend these cars enough. The interior isn't bad to live with whatsoever contrary to most of the comments you will hear. It's no Mercedes, but it's very comfortable and spacious. The cup holder is basically useless, but oh well. 😁 If you're thinking about getting one of these cars, just go drive one and your mind will make itself up.

8:15 insurance on C5/C6 is shockingly CHEAP! Insurance prices are based on the number of claims drivers make and costs to repair, among other things. Vettes are generally cars owned by older men living in safe neighborhoods and pretty commonly only used as weekend cars; this means there are very few claims made which keeps insurance down for everyone that owns one.

Yes! Thank you FI! You guys are awesome! The C5/C6 is an amazing platform that deserves credit. I owned both a C5 and C6 as daily drivers. The C5 feels a lot more raw and the overall "feel" of the car on the road I believe is superior. But, the C6 is a lot more refined for a daily driver experience. If you can get a C6 go for the LS3. The C5 and C6 were both dead reliable in my experience, with minor common issues.

I sold a modified 1996 Camaro SS that had around 400hp to a 16yr old and it was totalled with in a week. I saved up and bought it when I was 17 and over the 10 years I owned it added, cold air intake, larger throttle body, MSD ignition, long tube headers, full exhaust, bigger fuel pump, injectors, fuel regulator, LT4 intake manifold, LT4 heads, mild cam, dyno tune, strut tower brace, lowering springs, monotube shocks, upper & lower control arms, upper & lower trailing arms, panhard bar, torque arm, stiffer anti roll bars, clutch, shorter throw shifter, enkei 5 spoke 18" wheels and 255/45R18 tires. It had 82K on it when I sold it, it was fun car.

You can get a well kept base model for around 20k if not less. Imo if you can afford, try to get one with the z51 package (05-09) or a grandsport (10-13) will give more confidence when going fast that you'll be able to comfortably slow down and handle corners at highway speeds. These cars are getting extremely affordable right now so maybe you'll be in one sooner than u think :)

Amazing out of the box review! I bought a Black on Black 2009 C6 Z51 with the 436 hp LS3 auto with paddle shift. It is as fast as lightning, takes the turns as if on rails and stops on a dime. I will never sell it or my black supercharged and injected 57 Chevy.

Thanks so much! Been saving for a nice 20-25k c5/c6 for 5 years little by little while paying off student debts and day to day life/home expenses. I’ve finally got the go head from my wife to get myself a second fun car and figured with the c8 coming out there should be some good deals on earlier models. Just waiting until the pandemic is done before buying and you guys go and drop this tasty treat of an episode. So should I be expecting prices to not drop, or worse, inflate since everyone will now be looking? Love the content, keep putting more out on other stuff so I can still find a clean vette before they all become drift missiles.

I had borla catback straight pipes, hooker long tube headers, and a 92mm lsx throttle body with the 92mm manifold to match. And now I drive a Corolla Hatch 🤷😂

Great video. Full of helpful info for potential buyers. You nailed it all except the bit about the construction of the C5 being different from a C6. Both have the rear tubs, front inner fender liner and rockers bonded to the chassis with panel adhesive. They truly are brothers sharing same driveline design, in fact you can install a C6 trans and diff into a C5. We repaired a wrecked 2013 with a front frame section from a 1997. The only issue was the hood hinge locations.
