This might be a bit over the top, but its in the ballpark!!

The fact that it can actually be worked on w/o having to drop the front end all the time. Almost everything you can get a wrench at and see at the same time..

This may sound like a repeat of others, but I love cranking the engine over and hearing the roar (Corsa Indys), Secondly, I love the ability of the car to accetp customizing without losing its originality (blackwing, Corsas, CCW SP16As 19x10, 19x11), and thirdly, I love the torque and power through 3rd, 4th and 5th gears! Great responsiveness.

what do i love about my Vette ? hmmmmm....... the attention from young and older alike. the way woman swoon over me and the car
the people who will just outright tell me that they love the car,the people who silently admire it, the way some drivers wont try anything stupid and the some that do stupid anyway. the looks of the c5s are imho,just the best. all Vettes rule, the c5 is just perfect looking and as hell!
