2002 Chevrolet Corvette Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This car is perfect for me but it is way over-priced.

If I could, I'd drive this car everyday. The fuel mpg is outstanding in 6th gear. People move out of my way when I'm in the fast lane....it commands presence on the highway. The performance of this ride makes it enjoyable to get into when you're stressed after a long day at work.

The C5 Corvette (1997-2004) made Corvette the best performer for dollars spent. The car has a proven, reliable drivetrain that delivers outstanding performance without the penalties typically associated with a sports car. It really does achieve 25-26 mpg at higher than legal speeds. It is build for cruising - handling improves with speed. Ride is remarkably comfortable, and cargo capacity is amazing. I love to take this on weekend trips. Finally, it is beautiful just sitting in the driveway - an automotive work of art.

its fast, rides on rails, and stops on a dime

Low mileage c5 in millennium yellow with targa top and 6 speed. Pulls strong and very fun to drive. Receive compliments everywhere I go.

I think this car is in great shape for its age if the pictures match . The price is about 1k too high, I don’t think the demand for Corvettes has been very high in our in our current economy.

I have a C5 Coupe and it’s fabulous. It looks great drives great and looks great. Never a disappointment.

Do I really need to say anything about the awesomeness of this car? I didn't think so. I don't think I've ever had more fun driving a car in my life. If you have never driven one, what are you waiting for?

the best BANG 4 the buck and very fast car for only 350 HP stock, beaten all the way to a 600 hp VIPER A LOT of mods for it, just wished they made a 4WD option for it, my tires only last 10k miles no wind turbulence even at 140, after 140, only driven with top down

This is a great, all-around performance bargain. Aside from the lackluster interior, it is certainly a solid car. Track performance is fantastic and the car is set up very well from the factory. It has a raw, race car-like quality to it that is all but absent in the new C6's.

Had this car for four years so far, It fits me nicely, no other car can replace this for the price. Bone stock, dynoed 360rwhp 350rwtq on mustang dyno. ran 12.3@116 in the 1/4 mile. Traction control and stability kicks in when it gets out of hand. feel pretty dummy proof. descent gas mileage, usually get 18mpg around town 28-32mpg on the highway thanks to the gearing. Head turner, handles great, Drivers car. cant go wrong with a C5 Z06

I own a 2002 Magnetic red Vette. Neat that you can have a car you can be proud of and gets good fuel economy at the same time. You know other car fans when you pass by and they stop and look and wave. It"s one of the most fun cars I"ve ever had and enjoy detailng it and it shows your hard work.

Its no slouch stock, but if 350 hp/ 375 tq isn't enough LS-series engines are very great engines to build up. Cold-air intake exhaust and a flash program will net a lot of performance for the buck. It handles like, well, ummm.... a Corvette! The styling of the C5 compared to the C6 is not as aggressive, but I believe it is sleeker/sexier. Also, the C5 has more interior space than the C6 and, in my oppinion, a more aesthetically pleasing not only to look at, but to function in as well. Another bonus is the suprising amount of storage available in the back. Even with the targa top secured in the back, the storage compartments that are built in offer plentiful storage oppurtunity. A contributing factor to the amount of storage was the lack of a spare tire. This is because the front and rear wheels ae two different diameters, and the tires are rotational. That also means that because of the lack of a spare tire, all Corvettes meant for the street need to have Run-flats installed. They are expensive to say the least. Some could look at this as a benefit though and say that I wont beat on my car as much. In the end, EVERYTHING on the car will last longer, and will HOPEFULLY be cheaper to maintain. That thought process is out there, I know, but work with it ; ). Some of you may say that insurance and gas on a Corvette must be rediculous, but it is only $20 more per half to insure the Corvette(in my name) than to insure a new Chevy Aveo(in my name). That is 11 cents a day I know that I am willing to spend. As for gas, If I am driving to get good gas mileage, 30-32 mpg is no problem at all. I do play around a bit though, but on average get mid-20's. One of my favorite parts about it is that it is MINE! Corvettes are one of the most affordable true sports cars, but in my age range, there is a certain amount of exclusivity about me being a 22 year old driving my Corvette around.

Awesome car... My dream car, fantastic look and performance. Very low and fast, shifting is very easy. Lookwise, it is amazing! Popup lights and a glass roof is great

Its all like on this car, this is my 4th Vette, all but one bought new. The true American sports car. It has it all, power, beauty, ride, comfort (don't drive non-stop, except to fuel up, to Florida from Ohio). And compared to its foreign competition, value & price.

Fun to drive, shifting gears and going around corners. Gas mileage 26 mpg to 28 mpg on the open road. Around town just getting up to the speed limit is fun and watching out for speed traps. C-5 my favorite body style

This car had face peeling acceleration, ridiculous lateral grip, and ass clenching braking.

its perfect! the movement of the transmission to the rear gives the car a better balance compared to older vesions!

Great looking car! Clean and very good value! I like the classic look of the model year.

Very nice car just not quite what Im looking for

I really don't have anything bad to say I love this car. I have chosen to get a manual transmission instead. the only one who doesn't like this triple black corvette is my mother who thinks im going to kill myself!

I think the car has good value--mileage/looks! On vettes im not crazy about seeing more than 1 owner, but it shows to be maintained. I would compare to any of the C5 models. Having had an 02/04, they are good fit for a bigger guy. C7 is tight-fyi!

The C5 Corvette has its own set of problems and mechanical quirks. To me this this car is a solid 5 out of 5 but i love and have always wanted one. If you really like Corvettes, get one, you will love it!

What's not to say about the Z06? I bought it after having a supercharged Mustang. The build quality is superb compared to the stang. Tight as a drum. It still stands as the best roadtrip car I've ever owned. Just make sure you change the stock tires out, they are VERY noisy on the highway.

Everytime I drive this car, I can't help but smile. The power is unbelieveable. Their are 2 big secrets about this car that most people don't know. The 02-04 are affordable, and they can get up to 30 mpg on the highway. I don't :) Too busy enjoying the power this thing has.

Classic Car! If your looking for something to light up your face with a smile the c5 series won’t disappoint!

Out of the box performance!!! High 12 sec 1/4 mile, and all the top end speed you need in 6th gear with all the braking and handling to go with it!!!! The Musle Car era wasn't the 60's & 70's........ITS NOW!!!!! Where living it.............

Wow, at the time, 405 hp was amazing. Now the base vette has more. And the current Z06 has 500+ and the new ZR1 will have 600+. This car was still a blast to drive and was an awesome deal.

Electron Blue oh yeah there was a Harley made in the 60's with that color. This is the finest automobile I will ever own. Dale and Jr. both convinced me of this world class car. I live here Daytona Beach. Saw the two practice race here in these z06's. Man you really have to love this car and the performance. Especially when Dale passed his son. Oh yeah man and woman alike grab one of these baby's at 66 mph you get on a flat surface 32 mpg. Case closed!
