This car is sweet. I have 92,000 miles and it run like a top. It has some rattle but what are you going to do about it. I have the 40 anv. with the lt5 and it is fast. I just smoked an M3 today. I maxxed out at 183mph. It takes a little bit to drive. When you let off the clucth it will go. Overall this car is fast and fun!

I bought this '93 Vette right out of college w/77K mikes. I used it for a daily drive, weekends, etc. I've owned Jaguars, BMWs, etc. This car has been the best bang for the buck and you can pull into a dealership in any rural town and get it worked on. With tech manuals you can easily service it yourself or you local mechanic buddy can fix almost anything. With the mpg and economical repairs, it has been a very great affordable car to own and operate. Performance and the looks of this 14 year old car still turn heads. If you don't have one, get one.
14 years and counting

I purchased this car new in 1993 and have over 162,000 on the odometer. It is the best car I have ever owned! Lots of power, great handling, and it looks sweet! It has had three sets of tires, one transmission, three computers and three batteries and doesn't owe me a thing! It still gets 26 mpg on the highway and nothing has ever been done to the engine except oil changes and tuneups.
Remarkable car

This is a solid well made vehicle. Its quality of craftmanship is apparent within a few days of driving. Its low profile makes for a unique driving experience. Highway driving is effortless. MPG is much better than anticipated, city driving as well as highway. No mechanical problems have occured. I've never had a more dependable car in my 30 years of driving.

First saw a 40th Anniversary Ruby Red at a Corvette show. Love at first sight. Bought ours a month later w/ < 14 K miles. The car has all the options including ride control and performance axel. The performance is fantastic for an LT-1. The car is all original except for a new water pump and upgraded optispark ignition which was replaced two years ago. CD player belt was replaced this year. No other problems. It's absolutely wonderful to drive, but due to a recent serious leg injury handicap, difficult to get into and out of. It's an experience to treasure. Highly recommend the Corvette to anyone who enjoys driving. You only live once, don't deny yourself one of life's few pleasures.
Great Car!

We have not had this car a year and it has required almost no repairs - just tires,which you will burn up if you drive without the stability control and are always hammering the gas. For the money this is an excellent car and a true race car. This car is one of the most fun to drive cars I have ever driven. Gas mileage is excellent for such power. The transmission is smooth. Seats are a bit stiff and the ride is much like that of a go-kart, But this car is FAST and the ride is tight. It is very hard to get in and out of. Overall a great reliable car and I have no complaints. The passive remote keyless entry is a super feature and was new this year.
I finally got one

Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted a Corvette. Now that I own one, I can't say that I'm disappointed. It accelerates like a rocket, and rattles and creaks like one too. However, that's aCoorvette. It is what it is, and you love it for that. It looks great, handles great too. Going to Carlisle for the Corvette show with my son was a blast. Seeing the smile on his face when I tossed him the keys so he could drive home was priceless. My Dad never did that for me.
Lots of FUN!

This car so far has been the most fun
car I have ever had. It sports
excellent looks, excellent fuel
economy, seat slaming acceleration
and go cart handleing. It is very
hard to get in and out of. Driving
this car is pure joy unless you have
to get in and out alot. Under hard
accleration it literally jumps from 39
mph to 45, and it doesnt hit 3rd gear
until it hits 90mph. I found all the
computerized ride and drive controls
to be disappoining. I dont need a car
correcting me for driving like I'm on
the race track. It quickly limits
your wheels spin and a true posi rear
end would have been better than the
limited slip they gave it. It's a true
racecar
Great Bang for the $$

Owned it for 7 years now (2nd owner)and
the 1st time it needed a repair (bad
fuel pump). Been extremely reliabile
with 83K miles and gets unbelievable
gas milage for a high performance car.
I can get up to 38mpg at 60mph with the
mods I made (gave more power too) & avg
22-24 in town with the 6spd. You can
not beat it for the money ANYWHERE!!!!

I would like to meet the moron who
designed the engine layout for this
car. They placed the water pump over
the solid state controls for the
engine. If the $700 water pump goes, so
goes the $1000 engine electrical
controls. I have had this car for 4
weeks an have sunk $2k in the car. What
a piece of crap. I am going back to
German cars.

ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL, THIS VETTE IS
WHAT IT IS, A ROUGH RIDING, SPITFIRE OF
POWER AND THE HARDEST CAR TO DRIVE I'VE
EVER OWNED. RAW POWER THAT TAKES COURAGE
TO PUT YOUR FOOT INTO AND HANG ON FOR
THE WILD RIDE.

I bought this 49th Anniversay Vette
used with 36000 miles back in 1999. It
has never had given me any problems and
it is a great car to drive. Chevy did
good on this one.

I bought this car gently used in 1995
with 19,000 miles on it. It now has
95,000 miles and I think all I have
replaced on it is the water pump and a
belt. Of course besides normal
maintenance and tires being quite
expensive, this car has been a total
joy to own.
