Default The best looking mass produced car:

The Corvette C5 is the best looking mass produced car there is, it looks fast standing still, sexy with the targa off, Ferrari ish, in the rear, always the best looking car in the parking lot, it just has awesome lines, it's one major reason i bought it, what do you think?.

It makes me feel special when i drive her!.

Yeah right......I'd trade my C5 in a heartbeat for a 67 427/435. Park a C5 next to a 67 and watch which one draws the crowd....

Did you buy your C5 vette cause it didn't look as good as a 67?, get a67 if it makes you happy.

I have a 69,,427/390 four speed,,,and it is a hoot to play around with and such,,,,,but for sexy lines,,handling and overall performance,,my FRC hands down!!! A hot summer trip got my wife to ENCOURAGE me to get a "newer one with A/C"!! 2 1/2 years with the FRC,,and almost 23,000 miles of smiles,,I drive it a lot anywhere anytime for any reason,,hardly set foot in anything else except when I need to drive my truck!! The C5 is an eye catcher in it's own right,,, IMO ageless!! Yes the classics garner attention,,they are great looking,,,but a lot of that attention is because you RARELY see one out!! As time and attrition thins the C5 herd,,and more vette generations arrive,,the C5 will,,IMO slowly gain even more attention. I know I won't be around when/if it ever reaches interest/collector status,,but I don't care!!It's the best looking ,best performing,,most fun and versatile car I've ever owned,,and I DRIVE it!! Cruising,test and tune,running errands and even travel,,you can't beat this car!! The wife loves it too!!
