Best beginner vette
Hi everyone, I would love some opinions from the experts on what the best starter vette is. For some context, I have a 6th gen camaro ss and am fine with high horsepower, but I have next to no experience fixing issues that come up with an older car or making performance modifications. With that in mind, I am interested in getting something that can teach me how to work on a car, potentially to learn how to drive a manual properly, etc. so my first thought is that a C4 or C5 may be best (relatively low cost, things are likely to need maintenance). Any input is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Instead, please find the correct section, based on the generation of the Corvette.
Go back to the main forum page:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/
Now start to slowly scroll down until you see the generation of your Corvette. C4 Corvettes, 1984 - 1996:

There's also a C5 Corvette section:

Each has a General Discussion.
