  • Thrilling! - 2003 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    This is my third Corvette and definitely the most fun to drive. I was very surprised that the Z06 was extremely comfortable with fantastic gas mileage (18 city/28 highway) yet is is extremely fast when you turn it loose! This is one fast ride that delivers the most performance for the money spent! Go get one!

  • AE vert, 6-spd, CD changer, BSM - 2003 Chevrolet Corvette

    This is my 2nd C5. I love these cars! The AE red is simply fantastic and the magnetic select ride with real- time damping is remarkable. You cant help but enjoy the Corvette; it looks great, sounds great, and drives great. . .

  • 50th Anniversary Vet - 2003 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    Fabulous sports car. Seldom a day goes by without someone stopping me to comment on it. However there are days I would like to just get in my car and run to the convenience store without make-up or my hair done. This car draws so much attention that you cant do that.. This is not my weekend car. I drive it to work daily. People I have never met before say "Hows the vet"? Its so fast, roomy and the heads up display is nice. The warning lights for tire pressure, fuel and low washer fluid are a definite plus. We test drove nearly every sports car on the market, including Mercedes. My husband is very "healthy". The 2003 Vet is the only car that my husband could sit in comfortably.

    A blast to drive. Love the feel on tight turns.

  • Mr - 2003 Chevrolet Corvette

    My 03 Z06 has been flawless. I have had Zero problems & am well pleased. I had the Millenium Yellow on my 00 Coupe but like the Electron Blue on my Z06 better. The LS6 engine is sort of a sleeper, seeming little different than the LS1 @ lower to mid-range rpm. The difference becomes instantly apparent over 4500 rpm where the LS6 really shines. Both engines have an abundance of torque making driving fun & exciting, the HP from 4500-6500 of the LS6 however truly sets it apart from other C5 corvettes.

  • Anniversary Edition - 2003 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    Corvette for 2003 has surpassed my expectations, The car handles extremeley well and with the Magnetic Ride Control, it gives you the option of a smooth ride or "Sports Car" handling. Fuel economy is excellent, getting 25+ MPG on the highway.

  • 2003 Coupe - 2003 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    As my 1st US car, I was nervous, especially with a high tech car, but it has been flawless. I have had no major issues. It performs great with minimal maintenance. You can do as much or as little as you want with this car. Cross country was very comfortable and roomy enough for 2 adults and all our gear. Middle of summer,100 degrees outside, and it was smooth sailing.

  • Z-Oh Baby! - 2003 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    I must admit that this car was added to our garage to get me out of our 2002 Camaro SS that was originally purchased for my wife. I loved the LS1 F-body car so much and it got such great gas mileage that I totally forgot about my own 2001 F150 pickup and drove the Camaro everywhere. The wife wanted her car back and new I have always dreamed of owning a Corvette. Needless to say she made the appointment to go look at the car without me knowing what we were going to go look at, let alone that we were going to a car dealership. I drove the Z06 home the next day with a smile that I have been unable to erase since that day.

  • Wavy Z06 - 2003 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    Car is smooth, quick and comfortable. Build quality is poor and not consistent. Inspect your car very well before taking delivery. Some cars fit together better than others, paint quality varies by color and production day. Panel fit can be poor. Body panel smoothness varies car to car. Buy from a place with many Zs to pick from and compare against each other. C6 promising to have better fit and finish. I will not be hard to improve.
