Thanks to everyone who has replied so far. Just would like to see how many of the Corvette Forum members have a '97 out of all those built in 1997. Again 9,752 were built in 1997.

I sometimes read on here new buyers that are scared to buy a first model year car, because they think it will have the first year build problems to work out. Well from what I know, I sell cars so I out to know something about this... ...the 1997's are some of the better built C5's, but then again I'm kind of biased....
