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.

corvette "absolutely the best bang for the buck" - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
By rivettes - December 26 - 6:27 pmhaving owned a few corvettes over the years I believe that the c5 vette is the most well rounded of all Ive owned handling & performance are excellent I do prefer the auto trans to the manual as I owned 99 fixed roof with the six speed the manual was very notchy and drive train noise though normal was more pronounced easy convertible operation and overall driving comfort are a few of my favorite features this car is great for long drives,oh also if you do have to change your run flat tires do yourself a favor and buy the Michelin sport as way less noise the the garbage Goodyear eagles that come factory

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

Red, hot, and sassy - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
By Shay - September 15 - 7:09 pmThis car is used enjoyably for daily driving to and from work--plus leisure. The C5 has, by far, the sleekest, sexiest, cleanest body style. This is our third Vette, and although there are newer models, we simply love the looks of this car. Have added heated seats, powerful sound system, blue LED interior lights for dash and all controls, and navigation system.

2nd Vette Owned and Loving it More! - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
By NightRaverX - May 28 - 11:22 pmWhile growing up my dream car was always a Corvette. I purchased My 1st vette in 1998 a 1986 Convertible, and as much as I did enjoy "My Toy" It was time for my turn with a C5, I loved the newer sleek look and power, and I had an opportunity to purchase a 2000 at a beyond great price and in practically mint condition,and get a great trade-in price for my 86 it was love at first drive! The 2000 coupes look, feel, and handling, exceeded my expectations. The upgraded interior is luxurious, sporty and much more comfortable than the C4s. The power and handling is breathtaking. I was also amazed that I was getting incredible gas mileage with the LS1 motor. My favorite most reliable car yet!

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

Fun on a medium budget - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
By Gravy - April 25 - 5:13 amInitially, I found my 2000 Vette fairly pricey, but as I am more informed it is obvious that owning one is actually reasonable. It gets great mileage, the insurance at least for an adult is cheap. Its reliable, and to my delight there is very little depreciation if you take care of them. The car is fun and has given a lot of pleasure.

Dream Come True - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
By kaosbig - February 24 - 7:48 pmI love this car! Always wanted one, bought this one and it is a great car to drive. I have had some problems with it, mainly battery related, due to long winter storage. If you want a sports car, look no further, this is it! Great looks and performance, great mileage, when you factor in the performance. The seats are very comfortable too. And, I like the interior, many bash it, but I think it is great!

To much fun to drive, always smiling - 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
By smiley - June 16 - 8:58 amThis car has been nothing but fun. With a few modifications I get a regular 30MPG average highway and city. Best of all its a V8 sports car. Handles great, lots of powe,r never have a problem merging onto any road. Just so much fun to drive I cant seem to stop.
