After 70 years I guess it's time I had a Corvette. I've searched for specs and data but don't have confidence that I know what I want. I think I've settled on the C5, and as this will be an extra "toy" car I hope not to break the bank. It seems a guy should be able to get a brief synopsis of what's available and the benefits of each mod. I hope to learn about the choices I should know about and make, and to find a better way to shop for the exact color, style and equipment that I want without spending years on the internet and magazines.
Any ideas or suggestions will be gratefully accepted. I know that's a long question for a first post. Thank you very much.
PS: My friend came to show me his C5 and couldnt' get it up the drive way because the air dam would drag on the slight incline. Is that likely to be a deal breaker for me, or are there ways to get around that; different suspensions maybe?:
PPS: So far I think I've decided on the c5 convertible, one of the darker reds with camel top and interior, and 6 speed transmission. Seems there was a better (opinion) red in 03 only, but not sure. If there are no real differences I guess I'd go with the earlier ones to save bucks.
Thanks again.
