Old phart, knows nothing
Hello. Glad to be a part of the forum. Unfortunately doubt if I can contribute. As an example, I'm guessing mine is a Coupe. Has the removable clear top with another color matched top in the rear.
Recently purchased an 04, 90k on it. Auto with all the bells and whistles. Had wanted a Corvette for 50 years, found this one for $14k. Don't know, or care, if that was a good price or not.
Just switched from the tuner cars. Previously owned a 92 Plymouth Laser. Turbo AWD. Cruising at 70 in it was around 3500 rpm. What a difference. Seems like my C5 is just idling at 70.
71 y/o, feel like a kid again.
Just for curiosity sake, any potential problems I should look out for. I was too cheap to pay the $2900 a year the dealership wanted for the extended coverage.
