C5 maybe
I am considering A 1998 coupe. It has all the options is black and has 56000 miles. I really don't need it as I have a nice diesel PU and a Saturn Sky. But I still want it and can afford it. Any advice?

Welcome to the Forum Both the truck and the Sky are great to drive in their own way but they are not a Corvette. After you own and drive a vette most other cars pale in comparison when it comes to the overall driving experience. I bought my 93 just to see if I liked driving a vette and if so I was going to trade up to a newer one but after two years I'm still driving it with no plans to trade up anytime soon. The fun factor is very high every time I slide in behind the wheel and it didn't cost much to have such a good time. Good luck with you decision.

I have always liked the C5. I almost traded the Sky for a new C6 but decided I wanted to keep the Sky. After thinking about it I like the C5 better. Not as fast but I drive A semi for a living so I can't drive it like I want to anyway. I like the C6 I just like the C5 better. There are some good deals on some real clean low mile cars now. I do wish it did not have the glass top though. Is the adjustable suspention a good thing? it has that.

Because your looking more at the C5 http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-general-103/ would be a very good place to ask questions. Those guys drive and work on their cars so they have the best information for you. Good luck
