SO MANY CORVETTES!!! No order to it, but there's lots of vettes in here

Very nice C4 interior. Love the red, and dat bolstering

If it's not clear, I've become a Corvette fanboy. I gawk at every one I can, so I've started noticing trends in the Corvette community. Custom engine bay accents are very popular. I like these, enough that it's my phone background now.

Unnnnghhh ZR1. There were two of them at the show. One gave it the beans on the way out, and good lord that should not be legal. It sounds so fucking amazing.

SO MUCH AWESOME IN ONE PICTURE! The two women behind the yellow C7 own it. Well, one of them does. It's an auto :( but it looks really nice

See? Engine bay accents. This one was different and looked really nice. The Z06 fuse box cover (? I don't really know if that's the fuse box?) is nice

Very clean stingray interior

Clean...

C4 ZR-1....unbelievably clean LT5 on this one

Supercharged C6 Z06. 700 ft lb of torque if the owner is to be believed

Ungghhh ZR-1

Thankfully this is the only one I've seen with Lambo doors...

Hate on the C3 all you want, but dat long hood

C6 long hood for comparison

That second C6 ZR-1 was on these gorgeous HRE wheels. This is my lock screen background now. The carbon ceramic brakes were ENORMOUS

New stingray with manuel

I thought these were a nice touch. I also like the stripe around the butt

This was really cool. 60th anniversary C6 vert, the top has racing stripes!

Cool!

There were about 60 Corvettes...

C4 ZR-1 meet C7 convertible...

C1 with the label still on the top. Talk abut mint!2

*drools*

So murica it hurts. C1 with a hardtop towing an american flag trailer. This is freedom incarnate

This C6 Z06 was gorgeous

LOOOOOOONNNNNNG. Photobomb mustang

Such vettes. Many horsepower. Wow

Stingray

Father and Son

The toy version of it on the dash was cute

The paint on this C1 was breathtaking

Question - why isn't the C5 more popular on Oppo for people who want fun for a somewhat affordable price?

When did they discontinue the breadbox option?

So many great pics. Thanks for sharing. You know, people hate on it. But the digital C4 dash is one of my all time favorites. I remember my uncle giving me a ride in his 85 when I was like 10. At night too. Watching it come to life is one of the coolest things Ive witnessed.

I've always had a soft spot for '82 CEs. Sure, they only come in auto, but they're great cruisers.

Man, you gotta come to Corvettes at Carsile. Everything you've ever wanted for your C4 will be there.

I think it is fairly popular, just don't see them too crazy often. Though, the miata somehow is way more regarded and for the price, not sure why.

Ya know, I haven't had the opportunity to sit in a C4 but the seats look really nice to me. Especially compared to the C5 seats.

Why is there no speaker in this door? I'm very confused by this...

I'm not that bothered by that. Seems to by a pre-1989 model, which had a really terrible 4+3 manual. They added a 6-speed in 1989, but before then, the Auto was really a better tranny.

Corvette owners love tacky stuff, it's really unbelieveable. So much under hood crap - I figure if I'm spending $ under the hood, it's heads, intake, exhaust.

Reminds me of some of the Miatas I'd see at the yearly "Miatas at the Gap" events. Bling bling

They're really not too bad. Better than the ones in a 2006 C6 I recently detailed.

We need to start a new movement - Buy all the C5s!

Yeah, the bolsters look to be pretty nicely hugging.

Kailand09 > Manuél Ferrari 06/16/2014 at 07:06

totally agree. I plan to buy a C5 as soon as money permits/ I have a house.

I think there's just a lot of Corvette owners that only own their cars to show them off. I know I've seen a few of these at various car shows

That's a good question. I've started recommending it anytime one of the 'what should I buy for less than $20k' posts come up.

Had I realized they were so cheap and known how to drive manual back in 2011 I'd own one now I think. I'm hoping to own one within the next few years.

Miata is more regarded because it's stupid cheap. You can get a really nice NB Miata for $6-7k. A good C5 will run you about $15k, with Z06's closer to $20k

I don't have a C4. That's JayZayEight8 (I think that's right? I can never get it right).

I'm hoping to own a C5 in the next few years. I need practicality though, and I owe too much money on my Sonic...

You are far from the first person to do so

Kailand09 > Jayhawk Jake 06/16/2014 at 18:53

this is true, I guess miata is just a different price bracket of the "bargain performance". If I didn't want corvette-level performance, and had half the cash to spend, I guess miata is up there.

That blue C4 ZR1 actually belongs to a good friend of mine. Drove it a couple times, its an unbelievably underrated car.
