Got a Black C5 (1999);



to go with my silver C4 (1987);



Two very different and lovable cars. The biggest difference is that the C5 is just more refined. In the C4 you hear the exhaust burbling and snarling away, the chassis and suspension feeds back every bump it hits and the transmission doesnt always lay the power to the road smoothly. It chirps and torque kicks. The C5 lays the power down more evenly and insulates the driver from most of the road noise when the car is winding out.

Great cars both.

Get an aftermarket exhaust for your C5. I got the Corsa pace car installed and it woke to car up. Good luck with it.

....As your therapist I assure you that you are normal!

The facts remain that most others are not, but rest easy that your feelings are both natural and wholesome,

Modding is a definite disease - and too make matters worse, the C5's have a LOT of tunners/vendors with a large variety of products.

On the other hand, like you, but much worse, I have a '59. '63, '67, '95PC, '99, '04, and on order two C6's

Oh well, it's only money, and the government prints more every day. I sure do hope the gotr my address right so they can send some my way

Nice looking cars. If it is a disease, I don't want to find a cure.

Its not a disease right?
Just the opposite.

A disease diminishes the enjoyment of life.

Corvettes increase the enjoyment.
