I just purchased a Torch Red 1998 C5 with 90,000 miles on it. location was an hour and a half from where I live so got a chance to experience the car for a while. This is my second Corvette previous one was a C4, a 1984, and I have had a few performance cars,F-bodies and even a Mustang GT. Well since I brought the new car home I really have not had a chance to drive it,weather and work have been working,against me. Today was a beautiful fall day here in Mass so I decided to play hooky and take a mental health day, I had an early breakfast and headed out in the car. had no real destination so I just found some two lane roads and drove. I cannot believe what a combination of power, handling and comfort all in one package this car is. Stopped a couple of times for coffee and once for lunch, put about a hundred and fifty miles on the car and then came home. Even got my first wave ! This car is awesome,will post pictures as soon as I can.

Awesome! They are great little cars! Enjoy it, drive it hard(safely), and don't leave it parked for extended periods of time unless the weather is bad. Too many people buy these cars and don't fully enjoy them
