It's easy for me to go on and on about the quality, performance,
fuel economy, and overall presentation of the later model
Corvettes. Of course, all generations of Corvette have their
outstanding qualities from 1953 to current day. This rant is
primarily focused on the C5 series, this 2002 in particular. When
Chevrolet debuted the 1997 Corvette C5 to the world, that is when
the Corvette became truly world class.
Since that time, the Corvette really has had no competitor. What I
mean is, The looks, the performance, the fuel economy, as well as
overall bullet proof reliability, rolled up into a package that is
really pretty affordable to most everyone.
This particular car, being a 2002 was approaching the end of the C5
run, and what that means is, by this time, any bugs, or quirks have
been virtually eliminated from the model.
This Corvette convertible you see here is a fine example of a
classic color combination of bright red exterior, tan leather
interior, and a black convertible top. Add to this a Chrome 5 spoke
set of wheels, and a nice rumbling exhaust, and low original miles
(51,259), and you've got a car that would be very difficult to be
improved upon.
Nicely appointed with most every option available, the handling,
the high performance drive-train and creature comforts that this
Corvette provides is not only hard to beat, but nearly impossible
to duplicate in most any other car...Period!
A bold statement...Maybe, but if you own any corvette from 1997 up,
there really is no need to explain. Great car!
