The Corvette is usually considered as America's only true sports car. It's been in the game for years now... And it has been almost 50 years since the first corvette has been released in USA...
The new C5 however is a very different car from that first generation corvette. Back then it had only 3 gears to shift through, no ABS and absolutely silly handling... It wouldn't stick to the road properly...
The new C5's are everything a guy could want... It's fast, being one of the fastest cars out there on the road. Its comfortable, as hardly any other sport car gives you this much space to sit in! It's practical, and you can use it as a daily driver, unlike many other sport cars out there... It wont break down, it isn't hell to get fixed up and its generally an amazing car!
As you can see, the C5 is available as a coupe or convertible... It is also possible to find a T-Top, though they aren't that popular...
