I have a bunch of them on CD somewhere. On youtube, they're hard to find now, here's a good one that Motor Week did of the C5 when it first came out:
This is a great video, I have this episode on CD and also have the actual magazine that reviews the outcome. Best of all, it pits the then new C5 with it's competition of the time and blows them away:

I wanted a C5 ever since Motor Trend came out with a rendering and article of the then secret C5 project in 1995. I used to religiously watch and read every review that would come out on the C5 when it finally debuted. I still have a stack of Corvette Magazines all about the C5. Even though I was still in college, I was determined to buy a new C5 someday, I finally made my dream come true in 2002. Those vids sure take me back and remind me of those days.

Enjoyed the videos. Been a while since I had seen some of those.
