Hello! Looking for advice & input
Well the time has come where i can finally afford my first Corvette. I am in the market for a C5 Z06 and had a few quick questions regarding them
1 - What year of the C5 generation is the "best"? I know that's impossible to answer but what year would you recommend for me? I've heard that the late 03's & 04's had a fuel tank issue? However i would think by the later years they would have all the kinks and issues worked out from the previous.
2 - I am 6'7" (i am very slender however), will i fit confortably in a C5 Corvette?
3 - What is full coverage insurance like on a C5 Z06? I am 25, work full-time, and have a squeeky clean driving record. I've also heard if you register the car as a 'recreational vehicle' that is it cheaper?
4 - Last but not least, what are some of the common issues & things that i need to inspect when going to purchase one?
Thanks all!
