This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Ultra high performance, daily-driver livability, bargain sticker price.
Cons:
  • Some cheesy interior bits, slow kick-down with automatic transmission.

  • I Really Expected More!! - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    This is one of the greatest looking, best performing automobiles on the road today, but for the price,I really expected more. I have had to make too many trips to the dealership for my liking. Four trips in the last year for faulty headlight motor, erratic door locks, gas tank sending unit (this one almost left me stranded on the side of the highway),alternator, and traction control/ABS system. The latest thing is serious oil consumption/burning. I thought maybe it was just my car, but after talking to several other C-5 owners, these problems appear to be fairly common. The interior looks fairly similar to that of a Chevy that costs half the price.

    Great little car, fast, great handling, chicks dig it. Drove the 60s cars, 427 and L88s. The C5 is just as much fun. This one is on the block to be replaced with another. Wish I could keep both. 03 Z06 to be here in February.

  • Third Vette... and counting... - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    Ive owned three Corvettes, this 2000 Triple-Black Roadster being my latest, and my first C5. My previous Corvette was an LT4-powered 1996 Collector Edition convertible. First, moving from a C4 to a C5: The C5 is a different machine, with vastly different handling characteristics. I was warned by a good friend to take two or three weeks before trying anything "silly". Im glad I listened to him. As far as horsepower is concerned, I know my LT4 96 was rated at 330 and the 2000 is rated at 345 but I know in my heart and soul that my 96 (both 6- speeds) could take the C5 in a straight shootout.. not by much maybe, but theres my secret belief.

  • 1st Corvette - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette

    I LOVE this car! Excellent fuel economy...30 on a long trip with cruise on 70 to 75...22 in the city. Would like a better interior design, especially around the radio and HAV controls. Im trading it in next week with great sorrow but am purchasing a 2003 Anniversary Edition Convertible 6 speed to help me get over my loss and sadness of parting with my 1st Vette!

  • 2000 conv. vette - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    Engine ticking at start up after a few hrs. sitting. Was told by dealer this was normal. My 1990, 1992, 1995 did not tick at start up and they were all driven for more than 93000 miles each when I traded for another Vette.

  • Corvettes are great - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette

    I think the C5 is a "perfect 10"

  • Its a Winner - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    Unlike the young guys writing reviews, Im a grandma who has owned performance cars since 1964 starting with a gas guzzling 426 Plymouth. Three 5.0 liter Mustangs and an SLP performance package Camaro were among the cars Ive had and, while all were enjoyable to drive, none came close to the performance and handling of the Vette. This is a dream car to drive with great bang for the buck . musta

  • Finally - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    I just purchased my pewter convertible 2000 vette, finally I own a car that is fun fun fun to drive.So far it is the best looking,best driving and most comfortable sports car I have ever owned, and built in the good old U.S.A.One thing that I will have to get used to is the stares from other drivers, they have that I wish I had one look. I also can highly recomend South-Bay Mercedes-Benz for a pleasant buying experience, ask for Ryan.
