Would like to thank MotorWeek for being the only channel I know where I definitely won’t see an ad before the video.

Quarter of a century later, in 2023, the car still looks stunning!

Notice how John's the one that gets to drive this one lol.

At this point in time, classic Corvette performance and styling. I still see these 25 year old models. Still looks fresh. 😮

My favourite Corvette from old Need for Speed

My father in law still has his 2002 Corvette coupe. He loves it!

Nice to see the host check a car out instead of letting other people do it!

The magnesium wheel option is shown on the black car. The red has the standard wheels.

For a mass produced car, it’s certainly a head turner

So you can get into the trunk with the top down just behind the seats. Lovely.

I owned a '98 Vette convertible back in the early 00's, great car, really fun to drive AFTER I replaced the runflats. The car was used, but only had like 25k miles on it, but whenever I drove in any sort of rain the car the would slip and slide all over the place, was basically undriveable. I didn't even think about the tires being an issue since they looked new - but finally saw people talking about how those early runflats would just go bad and get hard and lose traction. So I bit the bullet, got the best wet traction tire I could find, the legendary Goodyear GSD3, and my God, it was like a totally new car. You could drive that thing in water as if the roads were dry, and on dry roads, you could do anything and it wouldn't lose traction. It was a stunning reversal. Prior to the Vette, the previous fast cars I owned were old muscle cars, and they also slid all over the place, so I actually thought it was normal - except for reviews like this raving about the handling. Anywho, if you have runflats, and a sports car, and things don't seem right, replace those junk tires with good summer tires, and you'll have a totally new car. Since I owned that Vette, every car I get, if I plan on keeping it for more than a year or two, I'll put new high end summer sports tires on it, and in literally every case it's made the car handle dramatically better.

Oh, how I lusted after these as a teenager. 🤤

The most elegant Corvette

Such an awesome car❤

Have one with a 6 speed and love it!

LS1 Baby!!!!

Made in bowlin Green Kentucky from 1998 ❤❤❤❤

The wheels pictured during the magnesium mention are not. Those are stockers. Magnesium were thinner spokes and way better looking.

3k for those wheels, I have two full sets, my buddy’s dad died and he sold the 2nd set to me in new condition for 100 dollars!

I am actually thinking about purcahsing one of these with a manual in summer 2025. I would next summer but we want a newer family car first and thinking about getting an ATV since they're street legal in my state. I like the C4 and C6 better but the C5 is such a good value and it still looks fantastic.

I would take a later model C5 over an 05-07 C6. I think.

The C5 has aged very well and you rarely hear about dumb drivers crashing them leaving car meets

I'll buy 7, one for each day of the week, where do I pay? :)

Just last week I was on the highway. Changed lanes without checking my blind spot. Done side swiped a circus tent! 😋

Timeless design on this generation. It went wrong with C7 design which was ugly. C8 is sort of like the 2003 BMW 745i where everyone says it is so high tech and beautiful but it is a pig.

This is One

nice

I didn't know that this car was that old. I seen them but would have assumed they were like early 2000s

1998 Chevrolet Corvette convertible it’s been for over 45 years.

I’d take this or Boxster

Neat

I promise I’ll have one one day! I’m 21 and I could’ve had one years ago if I was smarter with my money lol.

Stone cold is pouring cement on Mr McMahon’s Corvette

slightly disappointed that the cute guy didn't manhandle the shifter in this review

$3000 option for those wheels. I mean, that's how much you can expect to pay for a wheel + option package now in 2023 but at least wheels look great now. Those are just a basic 5 spoke design.

Did you guys ever review the hennessey vipers?

I have a circus tent! Does anyone in the comments have a C5 Corvette convertible?

Vin Diesel used one to jump off a bridge

Take me back…

Im surprised the brake package wasn't larger

$3000.00 for those atrocious wagon wheels?

First view!

hard to believe my S4 is faster than this....someone is fibbing about their horsepower numbers

Sad that a 89’ sho can stop shorter.
