  6th Corvette -1999 C-5 Coupe - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Cynthia B. Baine - February 24 - 10:56 pm

  Purchased in December 2014 with 18,893 original miles, all numbers matching, all options, automatic, and Magnetic Red. With the exception of a 1967 427/435 owned years ago, this is the fastest factory stock Corvette ever made. Comfortable, fun to drive, excellent design mechanically and interior, great Bose sound system, and generally the car that makes people stop and go, man I need one of those beauties.

  Cherry runs like new. easily a steal - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By vestedvette - January 28 - 2:17 am

  I traded a much more expensive 2012 car to get the Vette I always wanted. Cant believe I found a 14 year old car with only 60k in mileage. Its not even broken in yet.still handles like every vette if not better than all pre - 2000s Im having a blast. Instant Classic. .. love it

  C5 ragtop... a dream turned reality - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By aC5ragtopforEd - December 21 - 9:54 pm

  For years I drooled over Vettes and due to my height (68"), I could never fit in one. Then along came the C5 and changed all of that. There it was.. screaming my name out... torch red with oak interior, 6sp, Bose, the works. Ive never had a lick of trouble with the car, and its been impeccably maintained for the past 10yrs, never in the rain or snow. Still looks factory fresh. And my plates say it all: LUCKYME

  Best Corvette I have yet to own - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By lonewlf118 - June 22 - 8:03 am

  This is the best Corvette that I have yet to own. I have owned Corvettes all my life and this is the best so far. It is fun to drive, runs great, and has little problems. Yes, it turns heads.

  Highly Recommended - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Steve T. - April 6 - 5:17 pm

  I have owned four Corvettes prior to my 1999 (60, 63 77, 89). The 1999 Corvette is by far the best model of them all. Reliability and performance are outstanding it is comfortable and fun to drive the fit and finish (both exterior and interior) are laudiable the cost to own is reasonable and the resale value is great. Overall it is just an outstanding vehicle!

  1999 6 speed hardtop - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By lonewlf - December 19 - 12:27 pm

  I have owned Corvettes all my life and this is just another in a long line of Corvettes that I have owned. I was told my other Corvette owners that once you drive a C5 you will never want to drive an LT1 again. They are correct. I drove a C5 and 9 months later, after searching very carefully, I purchased my 1999 Corvette Hardtop. It handles great, and I love the 6speed. It provides a nice comfortable ride, has a lot of power, and does not allow for much outside noise. It is a very functional and reliable Corvette with great curb appeal. A daily driver that turns heads.

  Built by proud designers - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Lynn Johnson - March 18 - 8:11 pm

  My second Corvette (1991, Ive had a great deal of fun with both the "01 and the 99. After reading "all Corvettes are red", I realized the 99 must be an unusually fine automobile and I believe it is. I drive it the speed limits, and when I brought it back from buying it in Austin, Texas (some 1000 plus miles) my average mpg was 36. However everyone wont be able to get 36 mpg, because the car just asks to be driven hard.

  Hooked for life - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Zooooom - December 23 - 11:52 am

  Always wanted a Vette, finally got to the point "What am I waiting for?" Considering the cost this car is unbelievable. Great gas mileage is an added bonus 32+ MPG on highway trips. Who would have thought a car with this level of performance barely missed being a low emissions vehicle? It is absolutely exhilarating to drive, looks great, and is surprising comfortable. After test driving a numer of Vettes, C4 to C5 was a huge improvement, C5 to C6 subtle - so C5 was the way to go. Even insurance isnt bad.
