New C5 vs. C3
Just bought a new C5 vette.. Very nice and handles fantastic, BUT, my 1969 427 is just more fun to drive and just FEELS faster!! Maybe it is!!

Can't beat the technology of the C5...how else can you have a low 13 sec ride, air, cd, 30 mpg and handle like a slot car, and float down the highway like a big boat Caddy?

Point well taken! Also have the magnetic selective ride option.. Talk about flattening out a dip.. Even potholes in Houston are of no match...

Re: New C5 vs. C3 (Harold69)
From 1999 through 2003 I owned and drove (daily) a close to stock C5 coupe.
My '68 always felt faster but when I raced side by side (my wife in the C5) it was very hard for me to keep up - let alone leave that C5 behind. :eek:
ON the other hand, I've had a C5 up to 140mph and if felt like I was only doing 80mph in a C3. :crazy: :yesnod:
