    This is my 8th corvette and it is the best performing and handling corvette that I have ever had. Hopefully in the near future I will purchase my 9th corvette.

    My 04 Corvette Convertible came with chrome aluminum wheels, magnetic suspension, memory seats, head up display and 18K miles on it, The C5 Corvettes are about 1 inch lower and 3 inches longer than the C6 Corvettes. Riding over speed bumps is a problem as well as parking up to concrete slabs. The C5 is lighter than the C6, because the engine is smaller (5.7 liter vs. 6.0 and 6.2 liter). The LS1 engine is more reliable than the LS2, but no match for the LS3. Got a dealership window sticker from the Corvette Museum. List price 55K.

    I have owned three vettes, 74, 84 and now the 04. Each one has improved in all areas of performance and comfort. Took round trip from New England to Bowling Green, toured factory and NCM averaged 30MPG for 3500 miles and loved the trip. Best by far of any vette Ive owned, lots of top down fun

    This is my first Corvette. I am over 60 years old. This is just the right age to get a critter like this! My Mag Red convertible has all the vim and vigor youd expect from a C5, and with more than 50,000 miles on it, it has lost nothing. I decided on the 04 C5 because it is the last of the generation you know, long and sleek with all of the bugs worked out! This cars acceleration will snap you back into your seat and give you the sense of a fighter pilots thrill.

  • Great car, fun to drive - 2004 Chevrolet Corvette

    We have had our 04 Coupe for over a year. It runs great, looks new, and has never had a mechanical flaw since we owned it It is a show winner, having won "best in class" at a recent car show. We belong to Myrtle Beach Car Club and enjoy the events, shows, and cruises. It has plenty of power and gets about 23 to 23 mpg on trips. Great car overall.

    I have owned this car for a 1 1/2 years. Dont purchase one with a removable top if you want to stay dry. I have replaced all the seals. It still leaks, radio poor, steering wheel lockout disable as soon possible.

  • Why didnt I buy one sooner??? - 2004 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    I have always wanted one,"Why did I wait so Long?" this is by far the most exciting investment I have ever made! The wife and I had been discussing the idea of buying one and she kept putting me off, she went out of town for the weekend:) you guessed it! I went out and bought the car of my dreams!still married! she actually really likes to drive it herself. I have absolutely no complaints except not enough pretty days to take the top off and just drive! since my purchase it seems like I have found a new group of friends, they all own Corvettes and like to hang out and cruise.

    Best car I ever owned! Agressive, yet luxurious. Great ride (ever tho dealer prep failed to release shock dampening from shipment --- I had to bring it back to be done).

  • Super car at a super price - 2004 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    No shakes or rattles. Everything works well except for fuel gauge. Drops to zero sometimes. Not a problem if you keep checking trip miles and average gas usage. Had the same problem on my 89 coupe. Was rebuilt under a salvage title. Runs and looks like new! Replaced battery and alternator.

  • Best driving car Ive ever owned - 2004 Chevrolet Corvette

    It is absolutely fun to drive. Still get gawks from on lookers esp. youngsters. It is a rocket! Solid.
