C5 Corvettes, meaning the fifth generation that spanned 1997 through 2004, offer what is likely the best bang for the buck in a high-performance sports car. The C5 sported 345-350 horsepower in base trim along with more room and comfort inside than the cramped C4. Athletic handling along with a comfortable ride and a surprising amount of luggage space were just a few more of the C5's strong points. Here we have an amazing, well-maintained and preserved time capsule example that boasts less than 10,000 original miles, a clean Carfax and a pampered existence since day one. Finished in Quicksilver metallic exterior with Torch Red interior, this 2002 Corvette is a sharp looker, with that lustrous paint and arrow-straight body accented with the optional polished aluminum wheels and transparent roof panel. That interior looks as nice as you'd expect, and the optional sport bucket seats with their added side support and power adjustments add to the Corvette's comfort. Other options include the 3.15-geared performance axle, dual-zone climate control, auto-dimming rearview mirrors, head-up display and tilt/telescoping steering wheel. With 350 horses available, the stout LS1 5.7-liter V8 coupled to the responsive 4-speed automatic transmission make for a dynamic duo. Road tests of the day show the 0-60 mph dash as taking just 4.8 seconds, the quarter-mile taking just 13.1 seconds and top speed being around 170 mph. Yet nearly as impressive as this Corvette's performance capabilities is its daily-driver comfort and usability. Beautiful inside and out and top to bottom, this Silver C5 presents a great opportunity to get a nearly-new example of this great sports car at an affordable price. We'd doubt that there is a better value out there in terms of condition, mileage, performance and price.
