I love my C5!!!
This is my second one, its a 2004 Machine Silver Z06.
I just bought it in September this year, and already have tracked it at Summit Pt Main, Summit Pt Shenandoah, VIR, and did an autox.
Here's my favorite picture at VIR. Running 18x11f 18x12r CCW Classics.

Love my C5.....friend upgraded to C6 and wife asked when I was...I will have just as much fun in the C5 and a car cant look any better than when I clean my torch red baby up. Just went on weekend trip to corvette expo about 750 miles and even I was surprised how comfortable I was on a long trip!!! AND...This is the best kind of car...a paid for one!!!!

My car's not going anywhere any time soon. I still like just looking at it. It never looks old or dated to me. It always gets compliments and it still looks great. People think it's brand new. I've got it the way I want it and yet I'm still thinking about more mods I can do to it. Plus, like others, it's paid for. I also drive it quite a bit and it gets double the mpg's of my truck.
I like the C7, but at this time I don't need another car payment.

Forever C5
At this point in my life, I could own a new C7 or a new Porsche or just about any car that my heart might desire.
IMO the C5 Corvette is the most beautiful car in the world.
My car is going to be 15 years old tomorrow, built Oct 28, 1998.
This is what I drive...

My 1999 FRC is the best running car I have ever owned. I have owned it for 10 years and I plan on keeping it. It is paid for and one hell of a lot of fun to drive.
