Overview & Reviews

Minor refinements improve the Corvette for 2000. The Z51 performance-handling package has larger front and rear stabilizer bars for improved handling, while new thin-spoke alloy wheels with optional high-polish finish subtly change the outward appearance. Two new colors are available on coupe and convertible: extra-cost Millennium Yellow and no-cost Dark Bowling Green Metallic. A Torch Red interior can be ordered, the stupendous LS1 5.7-liter V8 engine meets LEV regulations in California, the remote keyless-entry system has been upgraded, and the passenger door-lock cylinder has been deleted.

• Ultra high performance, daily-driver livability, bargain sticker price.

• Some cheesy interior bits, slow kick-down with automatic transmission.

  Nice car - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Crossroadspilot - November 9 - 1:36 am

  I love this car! First lesson learned: Leave the traction control on! This car will keep you from getting in trouble, but turn it off and you are on your own. Dont be that guy! It would be nice to have the extra 50 HP of the Z06. Inexpensive problems I fixed: headlight motors fail because the gears are plastic $400. A/C lights go dim then fail $200. Coolant overflow tank cracks/leaks $150. Turn signal relay (havent fixed yet). I have a code that comes up occasionally for an O2 sensor. Fuel filter is a dealer part $85. Trunk latch needed adjustment. I am never selling this car!!

  1st Vette and not the last - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
  By vchanpe - December 22 - 1:38 pm

  I now look forward to my commute. I had a 1995 Lexus LS400 which was a world class luxery car but the Vette simply blows it away in driving enjoyment. I will never buy a luxury car again. I will never buy another sports car except for another Vette. Pros: Acceleration, Grip, Good gas mileage (20 MPG plus) with a stick. Cons: Noisy and harsh ride which are expected. Riding a roller coaster at an amusement park is also noisy and harsh but makes up for it by going fast, taking curves and the sheer fun of it. If you have fun riding a roller coaster and like to get your heart pumping, then this is your car. I am over 55 and I feel like a teenager again. (i.e. ready to pick up girls)

  Buy one and feel younger - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
  By vchanpe - July 29 - 11:14 pm

  Purchased a well maintained used glossy black 2000 Vette with 6 sp last year for $22K and I am having the time of my life. I am 55 but I feel like a teenager again. My previous cars were muscle cars and luxury cars and I will never go back. I knew the power was there but the grip is unbelievable. I have taken freeway exit curves at 50 mph where the speed limit was 25 mph. My muscle cars could not do that. I am averaging 20 MPG overall with the 6 speed while my brothers GTO and my sons Transam gets only 18 MPG with the same engine but with automatics. Noisy car but I will be installing sound insulation soon. My next car after this one will be a Vette.

  Its All Good - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Bill Matthews - June 6 - 7:44 pm

  This is my 3rd Vette in the last 10 years. The C5 is truly the best sports car value in the world. The 2000 is late enough in the model to have most of the problems worked out. It is also old eough to be picked up at a very good price if you look for it. The car will do anything I ask it to do on a city street or highway, and is more of a joy than the law allows on a country road. . More power, sure, thats what everyone wants. But, this car will smoke the tires in several gears and will top 140mph. How much do you need? The C5 is the best Vette to take on a long drive ever. I get better than 30 mpg on the highway if I try.

  Overall Beauty - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
  By beardown3 - December 20 - 5:37 pm

  Had this car for 4 years and I love looking at it still. Its gorgeous, though it has had a few problems. Gas gauge, steering column lock, noisy tires. But overall its a pleasure, especially after upgrading the intake and exhaust.

  Its everything you want....but - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
  By tmack - August 8 - 2:00 am

  A true American sports car. Former Porsche owner - won over. Bowling Green w/Tan top, love color combo, obviously for others as they have discontinued the color. Modest interior design but coming from a Porsche,a step up. Problems w/fuel gauge (6x) replaced tanks, senders, etc.. A/C condensation leaking onto passenger floor - my own interior swimming pool.. electrical issue with radio, etc., staying on after engine shut down and door opening. Told this is not a big deal but for a 55K car it should not there in the first place.

  2000 Corvette-3 yrs. later - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
  By mross4734 - June 7 - 2:00 am

  Ive owned the car for 3 yrs. Bought it new. Great way to travel. Fun to drive. Not without problems however. For example, electonic steering column lock failure stranded me in Palm Springs. Not a bad place to break down. Oil pump failure in the 2nd year required 5 trips to 2 different dealers before factory technician diagnosed. No engine damage due to momentary initial start-up failure only. Pain in the butt however.

  My Treasure,2000 CorvetteConvertable! - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
  By My Treasure - June 4 - 2:00 am

  0ne year later the dream became a nightmare to this date. First it started with 5/6 trips for the fuel gauge sensor, locked sterring, 2 alternators, 4 batteries,3xs headlight motor, cd player, 4xs body control module,3xs foglights, 2xs trunk would not open,dealorship lost my keys, Leaving a few others out Im sure. And the hits keep coming!I guess I have been blessed until now. Im not alone, which does not provide me any comfort. GM offered me a 10 yr. warranty to rebuild my confidence. I want a car I can drive! Not continue to be at service.PLEASE. What an ordeal. Guess Ive had enough.

  Been a great chevy so far - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Davydee - May 23 - 2:00 am

  Bought to be a traveling vehicle for us. Avg 30+ mpg on road run 70 to 75 mph. Rides better than previous models. Above avg seats. 12 CD Changer feels cheap. Interior feels cheap. Loud interior noise for the money. Fantastic drive, though and proving to be one of the most reliable chevys weve owned.

  2000 Torch Red Hardtop Corvette - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
  By KAH_BigRedCorvette - May 16 - 2:00 am

  I bought it used with 34k miles. Since then, Ive put another 2k miles on the car. It looks and runs like new. Ive owned several sports cars and this is the best in performance. It is a world class sports car. It doesnt rattle, and everything works as it should. I had to replace the engine drive belt which squeaked. The seat rocks a bit, and the leather is worn at the bolsters. You can visit websites to see that these are common complaints. There is tire and exhaust roar (aftermarket exhaust), but I like the sound. The performance limits of the car is far beyond what most people can use.
