Best performance

Hands down best performance car I ever owned, I always wanted a corvette, but never bought one just admired from my dreams. Now it's a reality and wish I bought one a long time ago. I plan on buying another when the new C7 body reveal it's self.

As much fun as I thought it would be

This is the first Vette that I have ever owned. I bought it because I thought it would be fun to drive and it is! Its a great car to drive and the performance is everything you would expect.

One of many many vettes

Classic styling that will last. Absolutey gorgeous car. Paint is better than C6. No orange peel. Not an avg car but for the discriminatoing buyer. Z06 is awesome in C5 or C6 version. Official weight is 3118 but commercial moving scale (as in semi scale) has it at 2900 which should be verified elsewhere. You will not be disappointed in buying a C5Z.

I still dream about driving it

I currently own six sports cars. This was my favorite. Drove for one year and sold. Looking to buy another one. Tires are expensive.

My prize.

I looked for a 50th Edition Vette convertible before I found one this nice at a fair price. Not a chip or flaw on the car and runs like new. Now I want a coupe to go with it.

My '03

Spiral Grey in color with black interior. The car has performed flawlessly since I took delivery of it in June of 2003. I however had to replace the battery and a wheel bearing seal along the way. But my smile to miles ratio is way up there! My car is driven during "sunny days" primarily and stored during the winter months. I am still getting gawks and appreciative looks whenever I take it out for a spin. I did add an aftermarket cat back exhaust system and low restriction intake to the car..it just feels better that way.

My 7th corvette

Bought the car 7 years old with 5086 on the odometer, was looking for a 05 but found this low mileage one and bought it and not sorry at all handles like a new one and less problems than the C6 models.

Corvette Z-06

I've owned my '03 Z-06 since new. Bang for the buck, it's a great bargain. Very quick, handles well, and it could be comfortable enough to use as a daily driver. Only complaint might become that it's a little noisier than the standard Corvette inside. Biggest gripe is that since new, little things (with big pricetags) keep breaking... all just out of warranty. During yr 4, with about 8,000 miles on the car, the traction control chip went bad ... cost me approx $1,000. A year ago, the auto door lock on the drivers door went down ... another $550. Now I'm dealing with a very common problem - the gas gauge is not working. Replacing the sender will cost approx $1,000. After a while, it tends to kill the fun. Overall, a timeless beauty and lots of fun to drive.

What a car. Best I've ever had.

Over the years, life always got in the way but finally, I got a Corvette. 2003, 50th anniversary edition and what a ride it is. Comfortable, great handling, responsive power and 29 mpg on the freeway at 70 mph. I even get about 18 in the city (unless my foot gets heavy but, how can you not step on it once in a while?) I can see why Vette owners became a cult.
