Default C5s...but not Corvettes :)

Owning a C5 is not as unique as some of you might think. If you've been to Europe, you'll probably have noticed a Citroen by that name:



if you've been to the UK in the mid 80s, perhaps you were (un)lucky enough to come across this, the Sinclair C5 (electric):



Then there is the Audi A6 C5 (1997-2005)




Or aviation experts might recognize the C5 Galaxy:



If you know any more C5s, do post

I'd say they should be F5, but then we should by Y5 if that was the case.

"C5" nomenclature may not be unique....... but most certainly we know that the Corvette is...there is only 1.

Agreed, but isnt it based on the Z platform instead of the F body now or something like that?

May be so, but I'd have to say that WE own the BEST C5 available out there -- anybody disagree w/ that?


I didn't think so...
