It's incredible the transformation that takes place when you sit behind the wheel and start the engine. What a rush! The price can't be beat when compared to comparable higher priced sports cars. The ease of storage for the removable roof panel makes open air driving a snap! My previous Corvette was a '62. Chevrolet has come a long way and has reached near perfection in the final year of the C5 generation.

I have "been around the block" a few times with a few vehicles over the years. All I can say is this.......Where has the Z06 been all my life?? More like, "where have I been?" This car has redefined what driving is all about for me. My initial interest was the 2005, but, when I saw this Black 04 Z06 sitting on the lot, I wasted not a moment more!! I promised myself that I would never purchase another black vehicle again, (I live in Vegas),but, this a/c cools the cab down in a matter of seconds. Anyway, this one's a keeper. I finally found the right one for me.

We hav eowned a 95 00 and this one. the ride is much improved over the 95 at the expense of handeling. The quality and atention to detail on this is far superior to the 00. It was in the shop 17 times in 18 months. This has not been in for any Warranty repair to date.

This is too much car for one guy to handle;-} It just jumps from the line and is so powerful! I can't believe how it handles. I swear it bends in the middle! My only complaint about it is that here in PA we have a lot of concrete highways and the suspension is stiff and you can take a beating from the bump-bump-bump of the concrete squares. Also, it is a bit noisy. But that was in the reviews that I saw b4 I bought it.

This is the first Corvette I have owned and it won't be my last. The only problem so far is the passenger window won't go down, turned out to be a bad regulator assembly and replaced by manufacturer's warranty at no charge. The car is fun to drive and has plenty of power to get you out of trouble quickly. I liked the body style better than the 2005, but the vote is still out on the C6 at least for the next year.

Ive always loved Corvettes. My one and only one before my new one was a 1968 convetible I bought in 1972 while still in the service. They've come a long way! My 2004 is the LeMans Commemorative Edition. The color is what really sold me. I'll never sell this car and when my driving days are over I plan on passing to along to my son and he assures me he will do the same. Hopefully it will become a "family tradition".

Only thing to say is "outstanding" and it sure is a babe magnet! The only thing I don't like is the fact that the front air foil scrapes on almost all driveways. But what the heck it's fast and fun to drive and it can't take any baby seats.

Every Time I wonder why I threw down 45K for a Go Fast, all I have to do is sit down and step on the gas. This thing gets your attention real fast. It spins the tires so fast it doesn't even leave a black mark, it just looks like you scoured the pavement clean. I Love It!!!

This is my first experience with a true performace car. I've driven Z3's and other roadsters and they were fun to drive but this car is serious! In fact I now wonder if I shouldn't take some more driving lessons so I can get the most this car has to offer. Theres nothing worse than a low performace driver in a high performance car.

The engine sound and power output is great. I've driven a stick off and on for 30 years, and this six speed is worth every penny. New color for 2004 - medium spiral gray metallic - really stands out in the sunlight. I love it.

It has performed above my expectations. It has been durable, reliable, fun to drive and a huge surprise with gas mileage! I took it for a long road trip last summer and couldn't believe the mpg it got on the highway. It's an eye catcher and very sexy. With wanting one since I was 7 years old, it has not let me down. Being a woman, I have to admit I feel proud to be able to handle it easily. It hugs me in and I feel as though I am a part of the car. It is the best car America has to offer!

You name it, I've had it. Mercedes, BMW, driven Porsches. The first time I drove my first Vette, I knew that I waited too long, and WASTED my money on foreign cars. I, like many others, was skeptical, due to American quality concerns. Think no more! For what I paid for my first Vette... $49K, what I got for the money far exceeded any other car in value. I purchased an extended warranty, and I drive virtually worry free for SIX years!! To date, not one thing, on both my Z06 and C5 has gone wrong. All someone in the design dept. needs to do is work on the interior, and, as far as I am concerned, we have a near perfect car!

Handles like no car I've ever driven. Accelerates like a rocket. Great looking body. Interior is a little weak. Some wind noise comes in through the side window. Sometimes feels a bit firm, but it is a sports car. Overall, a fantastic car. in my opinion, better looking than the C6. No regrets.

Driving down the coast Highway with the top down I enjoyed. The tunk is limited so plan on not buying very much unless you plan on shipping your goodis UPS. And for a sport car this car is comfortable on long trips.

Fabulous sports car. I had a 1998 and this one is much the same. A sexy, very fast head-turner. Did I say fast? I believe this is the most performance car I can get under 50 grand. It loves the road and has awesome looks. I can hardly wait to leave where ever I am so I can jump into my Corvette and hit the road.

I drive my ZO6 every day, and I really enjoy the experience. I have had a couple of problems (window motor replaced and leak in the brake system), but luckily it still was under warranty. The handling and performance are unmatched for price and the looks, in my opinion, are better than the C6 version. Overall, I would say it's a great value for the price, and depreciation is slow!

Best Corvette I have owned yet. This is my 4th vette and my first new purchase. The car performs better than many other muscle cars I've owned. Acceleration and braking are superior. None of the rattles and electrical problems I had with my '72, '93 or '96. Amazing gas mileage (28 MPG)on road trips with an average speed of 75 mph. I plan to keep this car forever.

The C5 was the sexiest corvette ever made. Looks, power, performance, handling are superb. Only modification was addition of a Borla exhaust system with a great rumble sound. Best sports car I’ve ever driven.

My wife and I finally were able to buy that corvette we always wanted.....what a mistake....I should have bought a 60's model if I knew it would constantly have to be worked on. The biggest problem to date are the window seals; they keep falling off. It's an ok car, but for nearly 50K I guess I expected more quality and performance. My 55 Chevy with a backyard 327 can smoke it, and it cost a whole lot less!
