Yes they are good looking cars. I was in the market for one but went with the C5 instead. 20 years from now I will regret that decision.

Default Sorry guys

Compared to the original (63) in my opinion they are Butt _ _ _ _.
There is a reason they all sat on the showroom floor while the good lookin Vettes sold.
To each his own,but if they are so Sweeeet why did dealers just about give them away to clear their inventory for the 97's.
Good thing we all don't like exactly the same things.

I guess we all have an opinion; btw, what do you believe to be a good lookin Vette? Ruby Red?

This was by far the baddest GS I've ever seen. Was laying down some serious HP. Upgrades escape me at the moment. Maybe Tom will chime in. Pictures from hotel parking lot, funfest "2000sunthin"

As a GS owner I agree that the red interior is just too too The black interior cars look great

Default Ooooh, now!

I wouldn't say thaaaaaat!

Black is kewal (reminiscent of my'95 coupe), but this is the interior of my 90 Z. Red wouldn't be my first pic (came with the car ), but two-toned w/ black looks pretty sharp (I'm still growing into it, I admit) U agree?



I always said Corvettes should be yellow or black or red or (cobalt) blue...in that order. But red has been crowding black, of late. (And, living on a gravel road, with the red I can at least get to the highway and sometimes get away with not having to go directly to the car wash every time I go for a spin.
