First Road Trip
I just purchased my first Corvette a 1999 Vert A/T and just got back from my first 400 mile road trip. What a GREAT ride and I averaged 26 mpg,in my opinion the C5 Corvette is the best bang for the buck in the performance market. I can't wait for my next trip.

It is amazing how comfortable the C5 is and the fuel economy it gets. Glad you had a fun trip.
