you would be hard pressed to say....
that the newest version of the corvette is not an all around high performance machine. when they put it up against ferraris, vipers, mustangs, porshces, and even the nsx it is a very good competitor.
it does have a lot of hp but the car is also well balanced and well equipped (brakes, suspension, etc.)

C5 Sighting
Saw one yesterday about 1/2 mile in front of me. So, being interested in looking, and not thinking clearly, I sped up to catch a peek. He must have taken it as a challenge....... It was Silver and fast.... I didn't even try to catch up. I don't need a ticket from Santa Clara's Finest....... But it did have nice lines.

My favourite would be silver with bodycoloured hardtop. The only real criticism I have heard of them is they are set up for smooth roads. The ride is choppy over bumpy roads, a real problem here in Ireland. BTW, the SVX, and those Impreza WRXs are the best cars I have ever known for taking a bad surface at speed. My SVX just sucks in bad roads at warp speed and throws them back. Wonderful body control and damping. Hard to think how they could improve it. Maybe if they let the chassis engineers work on the auto transmission?? Joe
