Is the C5 getting old?
Just sitting here on the forum and reading about the C5 and got to thinking my love is getting old. I have a '03 vert that now is 15 years old, CRAZY or what?? How long before it is just another old car on the road? Boy, time goes so fast. Post a pic of your old girl and enjoy because before you know it they are ancient memories. Cheers, Rob

20 years old this week.
20 years later and I get way more compliments now then when it was brand new.. It has aged very well, and it still excites me every time I start it.

C5 doesn't look old parked next to my 1965 C10 pickup. I just noticed I have a C5 and a C10! Lol
Nevermind the cars getting old, us humans are getting old (unless you are young, but you will get old too) some of these cars may be driven while some of us are dead. Lol
Drive the car and enjoy it while you can, and have fun!
Compared to a 2018 Corvette, the C5 is old.

Here is my 17 YO. I enjoy driving it and still always look back after parking and walking away.

Let’s go with classic
I love the c5 with it’s a classic with the flip up headlights. I’m always getting compliments on the car The hood is sexy with its smooth curves. But I would call the c5 a classic not old.
