Positive Review
The FRC (Hardtop) is really undervalued. This will truly be the only real classic C5. Not many made. I recently drove my car from Oregon to Florida. No problems and averaged 32mpg. Very comfortable. A PORSCHE would have you in hospital for 2 weeks after a trip like this. Car is just a pleasure to drive. NO DRAMA! FRCs are not fast like a ZO6 - But they are quick. All the car value sites need to re-evaluate this model.
Critical Review
Why in the world will GM not listen to their Corvette Owners!! The interiors are a piece of crud, door panels warp, dash rattles, console rattles and breaks, drivers seat side power control breaks off, gas fill lid don't work, drivers seat leather is crud. Wears out in less that 12 nmonths. I looked at a "35 year old" Mercedes today that had the original interior in it, it was beautiful!! No splits, No cracks, No seams busted, looked great! My 03 Corvette drivers seat looks like a 400 lb cow has been sitting in it! It's worn out!! SORRY LEATHER!! Everyone I know is fed up with the sorry interiors in the Corvette! If anyone at GM can read and write, FIX THE LOUSLY INTERIORS IN THE CORVETTE!! You are cheating the owners out of some hard earned money by selling "VEGA" interiors in $40,000 Cars! Good Grief! It looks good! Runs Fast! but looks like crud inside! If you know someone at GM, show them this message! Maybe something can be done. I tired of buying inferior stuff that is overpriced!! I won't buy another one! I assure you!

2000 corvette convertible 6 speed with 34000 miles in it red with saddle top and saddle leather interior
Styling, driving experience, storage space.
Cup holder.
C5 Corvette is the model I most wanted. The styling is beautiful, especially the front view with hide away headlights. My targa top coupe has a large “trunk” space. The six speed manual trans is joy to drive, and gives great gas mileage. I’ve had no major problems. I love it.
The True American Sports Car!
? 5" off the ground? could be a plus!
The traction abs module! If it's on, have it fixed by seller before you buy! They don't make the part for model Years 97-99! It has to be repaired or replaced and it isn't cheap! Other than that 99 I Love my dream car! I have Yokahama 185 mph racing tires! Car handles like it's on rails! I love my car, Sebring Silver lots of mods, it looks stellar!
Great power with good mpg
Electric roof would be nice
Car’s very reliable with plenty of get up and go. I own an automatic and it never fails to amaze me when you step on the gas pedal on the highway. The car when you step on it downshifts not once but twice if you demand extra speed. You will not be disappointed in this car. The ride is comfortable with plenty of shoulder room. Also the mpg is quite impressive up to 27 mpg. Driving at 80 mph the tach is barely at 8000 rpm. Great car for the money no doubt!
Ride is Excellent and if you buy the 6 speed you will get phenomenal gas mileage. My car is the 50th Anniversary C-5 Corvette. Dark Cherry Metallic. The only thing I do not like are the “”Special Wheels”, they should have been Chromed!!
FAST. Decent fuel economy. FAST. Sexy. Sleek. FAST
None that I have found!
I've wanted a Corvette since I was a pre teen. I'm now almost 60. I looked at a Vette when I was 16 years old and couldn't afford it or the insurance. Had to get a sensible pick up truck to go along with my chosen profession of being a carpenter. Was heart broken at the time. Bought my 2004 coupe almost 2 years ago. 6-speed manual with just over 41k miles. This thing is incredibly fast and hugs the road! Begs to be driven fast. If you can find one at a price you can afford - grab it! You won't be disappointed! Hang on for the ride of your life! Enjoy!
Fast and stylish
Plastic parts
I bought this car about a year ago and there were a few items that needed replacement that was routine for a 25 year old car. All parts were readily available, reasonably priced and fairly easy to install. I have to say that the car is awesome! Runs and looks like a new car and I get tons of compliments on her. I also have a 1978 25th Anniversary Corvette but mostly drive my '98. Highly recommend getting a c5 with the LS1.
Its a Corvette
Traction control gets lost every once in awhile.
Awesome car expect a few computer bugs like the traction control will rarely get confused for a few seconds and slightly bump the brakes for a few seconds but other than that the car is absolutely amazing and even with a bug or two who would buy a boring car for more money with likely more miles when you can get this.
