1997 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe review from North America
"A high performance head turning master of the road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The timing belt came off once. and steering column security lock made my steering wheel lock. was a recall, so car was picked up and serviced at no cost.
General comments?
This car is everything I thought it would be and then some. I have owned many Corvettes and the C5 design is a total blast to drive from its styling to the interior the speed the whole package Chevrolet did right by the new corvette.
