I agree, that's one sweet C5. Now I really feel bad with my 4x4 Vert!

Damn straight.

With half a million c5s made its impossible to the call a single one the best.

I love my car but I'm fond of a navy blue 6 speed coupe with black interior which is rare as hell since most have tan interiors. Doubt I'll ever own one.

Also a black coupe with red interior pushes my buttons. Supercharged please.

OK the shine is nice but it all ends there for me.
Doesn't look like Florida to me, not sure what that meant anyway?

The polished lip breaks up the black wheels on black rims, looks nice

Has nos, you wouldn't understand

It's already out of garage and parked on the street, must be ok!

This car is a real head turner, your comments (as usual) are a real head scratcher

Seriously, how do you justify owning a corvette with this thought process you use?

I'm surprised you didn't flip out because he used wax that didn't come from the factory

Or a boat, or his expensive liquor habit. Expensive bottles of whiskey are apparently a better investment than any mod.

Seriously cool car, which revolverzsti would post here more often, haven't seen anything in a while

Actually I think your car is nicer than the first (and I do not like chrome).

I like that car including the wheels. I also have CCW Classics (though all polished). My car is also about that low and it's a daily driver here in NJ. I have very few problems getting around with it. I have to get new pics since I put the side skirts on it. It's low enough that I can't get my fist under the sides.

Wow! Some of you folks can be a tough audience! Just my opinion but I think both the black vettes showcased in the beginning of this thread are absolutely gorgeous, rolling works of C5 art if you will! There are other beautiful C5's on this forum, including Et's, but for the moment I have to voice my admiration for those insanely beautiful and striking black C5's, very well done indeed! Best wishes to all!
