I've been thinking about how to properly answer this question for a few days, and am still unsure:
these 2 versions of Corvettes are as-different as the era in which they were designed (early 1960's, early 1990's)

in every way, shape, and form (straight-line performance, handling, mileage, creature-comforts, etc.), the C5 is a far-superior vehicle,
but with 30 years of technological evolution, it should be

although I didn't own a Corvette until I was 40, I had been-around the 3rd version cars for 25+ years

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...o-c5ville.html

my '82 has been gone 3+ years now, and I miss it very-much, but my life has changed, too, and I am 'adapting' to it, and my C5



the more I drive it, the quicker I am adapting...

... if it would just quit frikking raining!!!
