I was recently gifted a pristine C5z from my dad. Im glad I know the original owner history lol. Really loving the car and cruising with my dad 🤙

Great review. I have a 2003 C5 automatic with about 135, 000 miles. Most of your points are spot on. Mine does not have the rattles and squeaks you mentioned. You said the transmission is mounted transversely. I have not heard it described that way. My C5 did come with the usual issues: ABS traction system fails. Oil pressure switch fails. HVAC display goes blank. Headlight motors fail. Thanks to the forums, I was able to fix all of these myself.

It is amazing to see so many low-mileage and good-condition C5s out there. This is truly an unusual value.

Very well done. C5s are a massive ground pounding sports car.

Great review... I been saving up and am going to buy a c5 this spring!

I have the exact same black Corvette, a 2004 with 39k miles. Purchased mine summer of 2017.. very happy 😊

Great review! I could not agree more with your personal impression - I love my C5 convertible from 2000 so much. After I had bought it as a used car a few years ago from a dealer I kept my Carrera 996 for 6 more month to see which car I would love more. And, whenever I was about leaving home for a ride, I automatically grabbed the Corvette key, even when it was rainy. So, I sold the Carrera and still enjoy my C5 and the German autobahn.
And, cruising over country roads at low rpm is so lovely - and, with a push on the pedal the engine turns into a beast with roaring sound. The Carrera always sounded aggressive, even at idle rpm at a traffic cross.

It remains a purposeful yet elegant design that will never look like an open box of knives coming at you. Nice review!

Great review on the C5 Corvette. I’ve owned mine for seven years and still enjoy driving it. Yes great value indeed.👍

I daily drive a C5 Z06 6 speed car that’s a built 402 CI 600 HP LS2 and the car is phenomenal but the guy that built it put a lot of money in the car. I plan on driving it till the wheels fall off.

Nicely done, just picked up my C 5 a month ago, love it !

[davegregg]

G! You nailed it. I own a 04 Commerative and I just love it! Your video was well laid out and informative!
Now, I’m not sure your in our club Corvette Club of Ontario. If not, please consider joining. We need all the C5 owners we can find. We’re a vanishing breed and we sure can use your thoughtful expertise. Cheers and thanks again for the video!

Got one almost just like it. 1999 Black with Black Interior 6 spd stk. purchased it back in 2010 at 11 years old. Has 37k miles on it today. Mine doesn’t have Heads up display though and came with the Standard HVAC System. Stereo wise it came with the 12 Disc CD Changer set up in the trunk area. Last year of May 2020 I upgraded the stereo in the dash to a Kenwood Double Din Radio 7” Screen with CarPlay myself. Instantly it upgraded me thru today. I can’t tell you what a difference it is to answer my Cell Phone today while I am shifting the car right thru the Radio. So much easier and the stereo sound is much better thru the factory Boss Speaker System. I didn’t change a thing there. With the right interface everything is more then I expected. I should also mention that I sold my factory wheels right away and installed a set of Chrome Thin Spoke Wheels period Correct to my C5 and it looks great. I love the car. I am not new to Corvettes I own 3 others and have owned and driven Corvettes for 51 years this year of 2021. Purchased my first at 19 years old a ‘67 Vert. In 1970. Today I own 4 Coupes ‘67, ’73, ’99 and 2006. This was a very good Video I should also mention although I don’t agree with you on the interior or all the noises you mention that you hear. Maybe your car may have more miles on it who knows. Mine is pretty tight and to be honest I have no problem with the interior in my car other then I had to fix the left side boaster in the drivers seat a couple of years ago. It’s a little bit of work but they sell a kit to do the internal repair pretty cheaply. You are right about the Skip Shift device they sell in the after market. It’s not a Switch but a small wiring harness you put between another wire harness under the car going to the Transmission. I think I purchased mine on EBay if I am remembering correctly and maybe paid $21 for it when i got mine. For the money today if you look hard enough you can still find a low mileage C5 out there if anyone wants one at a very fair price. It is not something I would drive everyday and in all weather though. Just make sure you also own something else to get you around and just enjoy the car on nice days.

Great review! Absolutely fantastic cars. I bought my 97 for 10, 000$CAD at 18 years old. As you could imagine, I bag the piss out of my car and it just keeps taking it. 3 years in and zero issues, and the owner before me was also a young person who probably was as kind to it as I am. I am truly blown away by the reliability I've experienced. The best part of it is, I'll be able to get what I paid for the car when the time comes to move on.

[frankpianki]

I own a c7 but love the C5! Can’t wait to see more videos on this car.
