Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: An American exotic, Horse power up the proverbial ying yang, Reasonable price.
Cons: Simple Powertrain considering this is on of America's flagship sports machines.
The Bottom Line: Recommended for anyone who wants an exotic experience every time they drive, at an all American price.

During the 1980s the Corvette was a machine that never really suited my fancy. In 1997 GM decided to give the Corvette a much-needed revision. Is this Revision enough for me to change my mind about this car? The 1998 C5 may not be as fast or as ...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Room,comfort,quiet
Cons: none so far

For Corvette lovers the fifth generation Corvette has got to be it! After owning a 71 LT-1 a 82 and a 94, the C5 is by far the roomiest, best driving Corvette we've had. All Corvettes as far as I'm concerned are works of art, and are worthy of the...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Style, Sexy Design, Power

The Corvette Type 5 release is the apex of all General Motors releases and offers power, styling, speed, and design details that only foreign exotic imports can match.

After driving this car around for a day. All I can say is WOW. This is everything you could ever want in a car. It accelerates 0-60 in under 5 seconds. Meanwhile rocketing you through the corners with its 18" wheels and racing suspension. And...

Surprise

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: peppy engine, comfortable interior
Cons: I didn't own it.

To be honest, when I first sat in this car I was rather nervous. The car wasn't mine and so if I were to hurt it,....well...I don't have much money so I hardly would have been able to pay for it. As I selected 'drive' I remembered that the owner had told...

Prodigal 'Vette

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: smooth style, aggressive performance, and luxurious comfort
Cons: expensive, gas guzzler
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who has the buying power and seeks a sports car. There is no comparison for the dollar, anywhere. An all-american V8 power plant!

Ever since 1953 Chevrolet has produced the Corvette, a vehicle which has been America's sportscar posterchild. In 1998 it was difficult for it's competition not to pale in comparison. For the performance the Corvette delivers, especially with optional...

Pros: unbelievable performance for the dollar
Cons: high insurance costs

I bought this vehicle because I was looking for a world class sports car. I have previously owned Porsches (3), Jags, and a wide assortment of other sports cars, so I felt I had a good basis for comparison. I considered all the current Porsche models...
