All Corvettes are red
Two part post:
A forum member offered to pay shipping to another on the book about the production of the C5 after he was done. I did and I want do the same for the first to claim it and then send me their addy.
Starting now.
Part two:
For those that have read it:
1. Obviously it was hard times at GM when the C5 was in the build process. What are your thoughts on the C5 on the history of Corvette?
2. Although the way the book "finished" up in a hurry do you think buying a first year model is still a risky proposition with the issues stated or has it gotten better ?
3. Is anyone else besides me think it was amazing these guys even ever got this car built ?

What is the book really about?! I have read it and it truly is a "fly on the wall" look at how everything (not only the C5) in our society is built from concept to completion! This is what I liked about it. Many answers to why and how manufactures did what they did. Little slow reading off the start but good meat after the first course. Enjoy.

2022 C5 of the Year Finalist - Modified
I'm the third owner of a well cared for 97. 1st owner kept 13 years and put 33,000 miles on it. 2nd owner had it for 3 years and put 2,500 Miles. Car has been great!
Would buy it again! I've put another 10,000 miles on and will keep it as long as I can. And I will buy the first year of the C7. To me, these are special models. Well worth the risk.
Book is a great history lesson to know about the car. I think you get another level of appreciation for what your driving.

For the third time posting this - There is another thread on here started over a year ago https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...e-red-wow.html
on which I have been posting a map of the book's travels around the country and all the members who have read it and passed it on, and have signed the covers inside the book.
While I appreciate the other thread which has recently popped up about this book as well as this one, I wish all would take advantage of the other, original thread so we can document where this book has gone and who has read it. Thanks.

I appreciate being a part of that list back from 2012 when I bought my 03Z but have moved from Birmingham to Nashville to now paradise, Destin Fl.
I figured I would never see that copy although that would have been awesome. I would have been proud to sign that book and send it on.
I just want anyone that owns a C5 and has a passion for them to see how close it was to them never being built.
