2001 Chevrolet Corvette Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
2001 was a big year for the Corvette family. Although still a part of the C5 group, the 2001 Corvettes received across-the-board power upgrades, and the special race-ready Z06 trim was introduced. Professional reviewers and regular customers alike delighted in the 385-hp engine of the Z06, the strongest factory-produced Corvette to date.

This 5 generation Corvette has a sound body and very clean top. The interior is in excellent condition with only the digital display that needs some attention. This car still has its performance pedigree with a strong LS1. This car is optioned with a 6 speed and comfort suspension which makes for a jewel to take on longer trips. Overall value is well within range compared to other Corvettes of its time. Oct 15, 2025

Technologically inferior to C6 in many ways; I prefer the lines better in the C6May 18, 2023

For a car thats over 20 years old, people who see it think its a newer car. While it doesnt have all the newest technology, it have just enough, and somethings that even more modern cars do not. Like being able program for yourself a new key fob, or your tpms, etc. Driving this car is a dream, and in my case a dream come true. If youre considering a C5 Corvette, do your research, you will not regret it.Feb 06, 2022

I was comparing this car against a Chrysler crossfire SRT6 a Porsche Boxster s and a BMW Z4 coupe.the only car that came remotely close was the Porsche.the Chrysler was wicked quick but it drove horribly over pavement and the build quality wasn’t there.the bmw was awesome handled great but wasn’t super quick but was great looking.the Porsche was awesome handled amazing was quick great manual transmission great sounding 6 yet having owned a Porsche I knew how much it wouid cost to maintain correct and that’s a small fortune.the corvette was by far the best all around vehicle.very fast handles great great looking very reasonable cost of ownership and tons of modifications that you could do that wouldn’t break the bank.it really is the quintessential sports car.I’ve owned 50 cars only my Ferrari 328 I had back 20 years ago was better all around outside of maintenance.also drive it halfway normal and you’ll approach 30 mpg highway.not bad for a 4.7 second to 60 pre mod sports car Dec 23, 2021

Great vehicle. Though being taller than average, any sports car was difiicult to fit. The vet provides more leg and head room than any other sports care i tried.
Car has fantastic handleing and power.
Never get the time to drive it much.Jul 18, 2013

Parts are a little pricey but I knew that before hand so it's fine. Fuel economy is excellent for a high performance car and the different modes for traction control are exceptional. Steering is responsive as well as the acceleration. Extremely comfortable to drive, takes a little effort to get in and out of. Other than that I love this car and would recommend it to anyone who wants a great performance car at a decent price.Jul 31, 2012

For the price of a new cheapo Honda or Toyota you can have a car that will do 0 - 60 in 4.5 seconds, hit 170 MPH top end, get 32 MPG on the highway and carry 25 cubic feet of cargo. There's nothing else like it for the moneyMar 08, 2012

Love driving it in all seasons but especially when it is warm enough to put the top down. Overall a fun sports car with a lot of power.Great acceleration, braking, and cornering. Reliable engineering and quiet running. A real attention getter on the roadMar 01, 2012

The performance of this car is outstanding. I have modified mine to perform even better with a few simple bolt ons. The B&B Bullet exhaust brought the car to life. It is one of the deepest, fullest sounding exhausts on the market and gave it an old school muscle car sound. Vettes are fairly cheap to own. Gas mileage is amazing, 20-24 around town and 30-36 on trips! Im not joking. It's geared perfectly to do this. You can find C5 Corvettes for under 20 grand, so it's the best performance car you could think of buying on the cheap.Aug 21, 2010

Acceleration and handling to rival the best sports car, while out accelerating anything that the big 3 made at the time.
Considering cost of ownership--this car gets better mileage than a Honda or Toyota--and the performance of the legendary Corvette, of course !Feb 21, 2010

It's a very good looking car, but they do have commonly end up having wiring issues. My car has been very good since I have owned it. I would recommend buying a corvette to anyone. Overall this is a great car.Dec 11, 2009

The performance id outstanding. IMO the hardtop C5 is better looking than any C6 model. It is expensive to fix, but most work can be done if your halfway handy. Car is a blast to drive, gets lots of looks where ever I go.Nov 08, 2009

Awesome performance, suprisingly good build quality considering its GM, GORGEOUS looks outside, nothing special inside, gas mileage is awesome for a car with ~400hp!! This car is very fun to drive and brings a smile to my face every time I step on the loud pedal!Feb 12, 2009

Contrary to what anyone says, THIS American car really drives! Handling is AT LEAST as good as a Boxster, it looks loads better, it sounds much better and it goes... my god, does it go! Corvettes are silly fast (especially the manuals) in standard form, so the new Z06 and ZR1 are utterly incredible!
Super-car performance and looks for about 1/5 of the price - decent fuel consumption too - if you don't like 'em, you're just crazy...Apr 30, 2008

There's the occasional time when you wish it was a stickshift, but overall the A4 does an incredible job of applying the power of the LS1 block to the wheels. The car makes an incredibly comfortable daily driver that provides immense acceleration and wonderful handling when you need it.Jan 02, 2008
