  C5 is a True Driving Machine - 2002 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Yvette - June 1 - 12:37 pm

  I purchased my dream C5, a yellow convertible with a white top and red seats without ever driving it based purely on specifications and styling. Driving it the last 4 years & 9 months has been a blast. It is just as exciting today as it was then. I have driven many cars from all manufacturers except the expensive exotics ala Ferrari and Lamborghini and nothing compares to the Corvette. The car has been perfect except for replacing the battery & O2 sensor. I drive it hard and fast eight months out of the year. Its been a total thrill. Every time I finish a drive, I feel such exhilaration that I want to jump out like Speed Racer. Im a woman driver thatll never. I need a C6.

  Love it - 2002 Chevrolet Corvette
  By rollie - April 24 - 10:43 am

  Having owned a few Vette converts 58,61,66,67,71,75,87, 95,98 .. I loved everyone. When I turned 65 I wanted one for keeps. The 02 Flame Red convert I now have is the best. Not one problem since I bought it. Keeps me feeling young and the gals love it.

  Cant touch this for the price - 2002 Chevrolet Corvette
  By bcarnalis - August 7 - 2:46 pm

  Are there better sports cars in the world? Yes, certainly. Are there better ones for less than twice the price of the Z06? That is much less clear. This car is a performance monster, in all regards. It isnt just a straight line car, but will corner with Ferraris and brake with Porsches, and do it all for 1/2 to 1/3 of the cost. Of course you pay for this in terms of quality of the interior materials, which do not match Porsche and Ferrari. But if you just want to hang with your buddys F360 on the track, this car will do it right out of the showroom. And it has a heads-up display!

  Hard to Beat! - 2002 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Lee Whitney - June 4 - 3:32 am

  For the money, the 02 Z06 is hard to beat! Performance is right up there with exotics that cost way more. My only real complaint is the slight amount of "orange peel" in the paint and they could have used better quality leather in the seats. On a trip, I got 30 miles per gal with the Z06 in 6th gear and the cruise control set at about73 mph.Not bad for a 405 HP hot rod.I recent put a Vortech (smog legal) supercharger on my Z06 and its now putting out over 560 (reliable)HP at the crank and it still gets over 27 miles per gal. Its a real animal and should be able to stay right with the new 2006 (500 hp) Z06. Even with the blower, I am extremely happy with the durablity and reliablity of my Z06.

  02 Triple Black - 2002 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Steveo242 - March 8 - 6:38 pm

  Phenomenal ride. I have also dreamed of a Vette all my life alone with the posters in the forums. It definitely lives up to the hype. For a little more dough than a Trans Am or Mustang, it is so much better.

  Daily sports driver - 2002 Chevrolet Corvette
  By FN Lawyer - August 30 - 2:00 am

  After owning 2 Porsche Carreras in a row, it was with great reluctance that i viewed the Z06 as an alternative. Yet, the press kept heralding its performance prowess, and new found reliability. Went to a dealer for a test drive, my mistake. How could it actually better a Carrera? Well, after 2 years, it simply does. It still hangs tight, no chassis noises, brakes better, accelerates and outcorners better, and i still cant believe the gas mileage. No, it doesnt enjoy same interior design and quality, what a shame, wouldnt mind paying an extra 2k for them. Yet, its roomy and more comfortable than it seems. I dont think ill be going back to Porsche.

  An American Legend Lives On. - 2002 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Gordon - June 10 - 2:00 am

  This is my 3rd Vett, they keep getting better, fantastic power, great ride and unbelievable gas mileage for a car with this amount of power. No mechanical problems to date. Lots of after market performance parts available. Cost of service is very reasonable.
