I am not a big fan of Green but I agree, it is a very nice and classy looking combination.
Yeah, I will definitely remember that trip. Drive for 12 hours, stop at a hotel for 6 hours (only about 4 1/2 hours was for sleep), drive for 20 hours, stop at Mohegan Sun casino in CT for 2 hours (and win $140), then drive 3 more hours home.
It drove great. No problems what-so-ever. Good power, the performance axle really makes a difference. I could tell the difference between this one and the regular geared C5's I have driven. I have driven 3rd, 4th, and 5th gen cars. I previously owned a C4. My C5 was very comfortable on this trip. I was pleasantly surprised. I always liked their ride, but I did not think it would be that comfortable for so long of a drive. It is night and day from my C4 (had an 89 Coupe). I was originally looking for a C4 last year, and after getting screwed by some sellers, I started looking for a C5 instead. I am so glad I did. It was well worth spending $8,000 more than I was going to spend on a C4 to get this C5.
Overall it is in good shape. Some little rock chips on the nose, but pretty good otherwise. Interior and undercarriage are spotless. It has higher miles than I was looking for (89k after my trip), but it runs strong, does not smoke or leak, and oil pressure looks good. Getting a 2000 Corvette in this shape for $18,000 (yup, that is it), I could not pass it up! The flight out and trip back only ran me about $600-$700 (and some lack of sleep). Overall, I am very happy with it. Now that I have a Vette again, I am going to try and make it to the cruise-in this year.
