Looking for a 97or98.
I have been reading most of the forums on C5's. Any special topic I should really be looking at? Also I thought I read somewhere that there are two gas tanks on C5's is that true? Going to Carlisle next week for my search.
Thanks

They say that 98s are usually good model years.

All C5's have a split tank (one on the right side, one on the left connected by a crossover pipe. If you look under the car, they are located behind the aluminum shielding next to where the tranny sits. Get yourself a resource like the Corvette Black Book and see what options were available for those two model years. And, if you find a car you like, make sure you get it thoroughly checked out by a competent mechanic. If you can possibly afford it, you may want to consider a '99 since you would have the additional options of a HUD (head up display) and active handling. Good luck on your search.
