I'm 67 and I drive my 2002 c5 once a week. It has 105k on it now and is a garage queen. Flip off the traction control and stomp it at 50 mph and it will spin the tires. If you buy one make sure it's a 02 -04, they got all the bugs worked out. This was a true super car back in 02.

This car has a very special place in my heart. The first car I ever got to drive on a track day was my dad’s c5 zo6. We were able to get some used Ferrari race wheels and tires that stuck out an inch passed the fenders and that thing absolutely ripped. It’s still the fastest car I’ve ever driven at speed. The power was humbling, but the traction control gave me confidence to push my own limits. My dad still has the car and I’m counting the days until I can buy it from him.

I bought a C5 6-speed manual, black on black hatch when I was 24 years old. It cost me $18,000 CDN cash (private sale). I drove it for 5 years, it was such an amazing vehicle. And the gas mileage was shockingly good! I averaged 30mpg. The hatchback had a ridiculous amount of space for a sports car, it actually made the vehicle a great daily driver. I sold it for $19,500. I miss the sound of that engine and exhaust, didn't need any music.

Corvettes are in my family blood. My dad always had at least one at all times, occasionally two... it's what I learned to drive a stick shift on. I have owned 'Vettes ever since I bought one in my early twenties, and now at 53 I currently own a heavily modified LS2 C6 and an unmolested 2003 50th yellow Z06. I think the more it ages, the more beautiful the C5's get, and I find people really appreciating them more.

I have owned a 97 C5 for 22 years so this is probably my favorite recent youtube video. It floors me how much of a bargain they are. Intake exhaust and tune raises power quite a bit. Swapped in an LS6 after sucking water in the aftermarket ram air that sits 6 inches from the ground. With cheap mods my LS6 is making 392hp at the rear wheels so about 450hp at the crank and it does get 30+mpg on the highway with stock gears. Borla xr1 racing exhaust sounds magnificent. Too many great memories to let go and frankly there is no better option for a sports car at its price. Its cool seeing how the new gen of tuners are flexing a modern c5 style with wide bodies, deep dish cambered wheels and lowered to the max with body kits and wings. The ones you found for this video look like art. And I don't think it takes too much to get them there. The c5 can be lowered by swapping 2 bolts to longer ones and twisting them to the hight you want. Its practically free to lower them.

I use to be a massive car guy. Constantly browsing different forums for various cars, monitoring prices on CL, Autotrader, etc. After I got into the C5 all that stopped. It's a great platform, DIY friendly, and for the price I can wrap it around a tree and not lose sleep. I could buy something newer and more expensive but then what? It'd be some garage queen that every chip and scratch stresses me out? Pass. I'm much more interested in being in the canyons + tracking, less interested in flexing.

I remember seeing this car on Good Morning America before school, thinking how it’s so badass and I’ll never see one in person, only to see one in front of school a few weeks later, as people circled it in amazement. This car was a monster back then, and when the Z came out, it was game over for all but the most modded street cars. Young people these days are so spoiled because cars became THAT good from the factory. Anyone making fun of this car is just clueless.

I own a c5 vert with a the 6 speed. I call it the work vette. I bought it just to commute. It has super high mileage but it's in good+ shape. 140k for miles. Paid 11k for it 2 years ago. Did I mention the previous owner took the entire car apart to repaint it and it now looks like new. All new interior as well. The wheels look brand new and the top looks perfect. Everything else is old. It is 23 years old but looks better than my 2016 truck that I bought new. Also had a bassani exhaust. The only thing that needs a little restoration is the calipers possibly a rear main seal. I'll do the clutch and flywheel when I do the seal and maybe sell it after that.

I've been daily driving(beating the snot out of) a 2000 6spd manual base coupe for 7 years now. I currently have 3 Vettes along with many other cars (14 in all). I've always owned Corvettes since I was 15 years old. This C-5 is hands down the most durable, best performing all around car I've ever owned. Once on a trip to Reno (for Hot August Nights) from L A driving all around Reno and Virginia City and back to LA it averaged 28.8 MPG, with many triple digit moments. The car has 159,000 miles and has its original clutch, I only replaced the original brake pads, rotors, and wheel hub assemblies about 2 months ago. No mods except 4 core aluminum tank radiator, steel casters mounted in front to take the speed bumps and driveways, chrome molly adjustable end links for the sway bars and Baer brakes fully adjustable tie-rod ends. It Rolls on C-6 Z06 wheels and has Z06 mufflers. It will still outperform 90 percent of the cars on the road today even though it was designed in the late 80s early 90s and was 1st sold in 1997. An almost 30 year old design. People constantly ask about it no matter where I am. For the money, in my opinion, there isn't a better car out there, period.

And now I'm almost twice that age and currently drive a 50th Anniversary C5. I guess everything will become an old-person's car given enough time and vehicle loyalty.

Corvettes have been known as "crisis cars" long before the Internet had arrived. One of the biggest reasons they get hate is because of the crappy interiors, reputation as an old man's car, as well as the mullet crowd, not the performance. But I do believe Corvette has shaken that reputation off for the most part, Mainly because of the blistering performance of the C5 zo6 to current.

C5Z owner here. Wanted one since 2001. I have had MANY other cars and spent thousands on all of them. To years ago I decided it was time for a Z and have never looked back. I always say that I "will never sell this car" to my friends and family then I sell them. I think I may have found the one one that I do not sell. Just did brake upgrades, Corsa Extreme exhaust, Silver Coilovers, Corvette Spec suspension tidbits, Sparco racing buckets and harnesses and a list of other stuff. I have never been happier with a car! And, I bought a 2004 Commemorative Edition too! So my geek is even stronger with the livery and rarity. LS6 baby! Great vid my man!

I can vouch for the 26+ average MPG with an LS 4th gen driving normal. The C5's best story was from GMHTP (now defunct) about nearly hitting a toll booth on the NJ expressway in a rainstorm, then running a high 11 in an '04 ZO6 at Englishtown. I think the guy driving was a pro basketball player?

My favourite body design was the 70's vette, i have to say that this design did made it better looking then the 80's but not as much as the 2010's. i LOVE vette's more then vipers which one of my good friends Loves. Vette is a steal deal for what you get especially if you jave the $$$$ to upgrade it.

The c5 corvette is such a performance bargain. If it was German had a better interior and was not mass produced it would be a supercar worth 5 times the price. But shhhhh I’m trying to get one in a couple months 🤣

Hating on the c4 is deserved but the c5 is probably my all time favorite. The styling on this car is second to none.

Small correction … FYI: C5 sold 31k cars when it came out, but the C4 in 1984 sold 51k cars. The C4 actually did sell really well.

The C5 Corvette still today looks amazing… they are super rare in the UK, we here would consider a Jaguar, a Porsche an old man’s car…but never a Corvette. You know when a car is fantastic when you see the likes of a Corvette, any Corvette really and it’s always put head to head for a comparison, not with a car with the same horsepower, costs etc. but one that’s two, three or four times it’s cost and a lot more horsepower. The Corvette definitely punches way above its weight.

I sold, reluctantly, my C5 Z06....2002...and was immaculate. I needed a truck for my land/property so sold the vette and my old FJ60 Land Cruiser. Was my favorite sports car to drive...fast, powerful, great mileage eve going 80mph on interstate could punch it in 6th gear and still pass everyone. LOL Great car....wish could buy it back. So may have to get a C7 GS next but who knows.

Loved my c5, had to give it up (for now) for the usual reasons, growing family. Great gas mileage and storage always blows people's minds. Also very stealthy to radar (non metal body) and laser (no front shiny bits, very raked windshield) speed detectors. .29 coefficient of drag, I think it was. Driving it was like wearing a perfect leather coat, it was an extension of your own body.

I'm an old man with a C5. I can't help I'm an old man but I can choose what I drive. Always thought the C5 looked like it was designed and shaped in a wind tunnel - shaped by the wind. Maybe it was. If you've never driven an LS1.....I hope someday you do.

As a car enthusiast, I can't stand how iconic cars get so stereotyped that they kinda turn into a running joke. Terminator Cobras, Supras, GTRs, Vettes, all iconic cars that take the brunt of the stereotypes. I love them all.
