  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.

  Amazing Performance for the Money - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By zr77 - April 5 - 2:30 pm

  Ive had my 1999 corvette for approx 1 year. I purchased it from the original owner who used it mainly as a show car and it had 90K miles. Almost completely stock with the exception of an exhaust. I LOVE driving this car. Great exhaust note, handles very well, acceleration is smooth. You can drive it easy or like a mad man. Ive started to track my C5 and grow more and more amazed with it every day. I can drive it to client meetings, getting 32-33mpg on the highway to flogging it at a race track (road racing) for a 3 day weekend and it keeps asking for more. Parts are cheap and plentiful. Only complaint overall interior design. GM cheaped out with the interior but the LS1 makes up for that.

  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

  6 speed manual convertible - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By carguy2021 - July 25 - 2:20 pm

  I loved this car! That being said, I had some serious issues. I bought it with 44k miles, and owned it through 65k miles. Right away, it was popping out of 6th gear. Luckily I had an extended warranty. This required a trans rebuild which was $5-6k. I had an issue with the steering column lock motor -- it failed, requiring the car to be towed to the dealership. The welds on the exhaust break over time, requiring repair or replacement. Other than the problems, the car is smooth, insanely fast, and gets great gas mileage - I got as high as 33 mpg at 70mph. The stereo is amazing - Bose.

  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.
