I hate that mine is an auto but I couldn’t pass it up. It was my mom’s she decided to sell and I only gave $10k for a mint ‘97 with 54k miles. Still a fun car to cruise and hit the twisties in.
0-62 with the 4-speed auto is supposed to be about 5,5 secs so it is not mind-blowingly fast by today's standards yes. I counted with stopwatch about 5,8 secs (the speedo is 1:1 accurate). Where I tried the tarmac was shitty and might have been slightly uphill also.
@@alexest6229 Auto's slowed down vette's back then in addition to other factors from decades ago. I recall the published 0-60 being 5.2-5.4 for many years with the slushboxes.
@@Ls_corvette ya plus with these I think Whether or not with tc on it’ll spin just enough to cut power rather than tc off and just power thru it but maybe feather it a little better than he did lol
It is yes, and it is actually quite smooth also. The only time I find it lacking is when you want to drive fast on B-roads - you'd like some more gears.
@@alexest6229 Yeah, in that case you'd really prefer a manual. Much better in terms of the real driving experience, you get the feel you're more in control. How are those transmissions in terms of reliability?
dude who cares, not everybody has a sub 5 second 0-60 vehicle. I could care so much less about the time it takes to accelerate. I am a true car enthusiast, so I get enjoyment just from seeing anything accelerate. its just cool do see an automatic car from a different era accelerate clearly we have come a long way.
Well at least it has 3:15 gears

100 km is 62 mph and it took 6 seconds. I’m surprised, I thought it’d be faster than that.

@@alexest6229 well I can’t be surprised then, plus its 20+ years old so it held up good. Nice ride, I have a 78’ z28 with the 350 block.
@@mqpar5.795 Sweet!! Nice things these.
Also this one has 5 less hp than the more desirable c5 corvettes

Low 4 seconds pretty good nice car
nope it was kmh
@@StuffVideos2244 yes Ik
That was a 5-6 second run not low 4 lol
when i saw 0-100 i thought 100 mph honestly
Now try it without traction control on.... you'll go faster
Ehh….I get less wheel spin with tc off. And he could’ve gotten a better time if he did more runs with the vette.

LS1?
Yes they all have Ls1 besides the z06 which has an ls6 but this one is the base model with an ls1
Why are the gauges in different measurements oil pressure 300 to 400 mine says 30 etc, my speedo says 200mph this says 300 km
Its because this car was meant for Japanese market ;P
The cluster is reading metric.
oil pressure here is in kpa not psi, speedo is in kmph not mph, temp gauge is in celsius not fahrenheit
OK honestly for a stock C5 it's not actually slow 4 to 6 seconds is good speed actually
Nice shift time from the auto transmission, considering it's a zero's car.

Try it in mph
Thank you
Bruh, just convert?
@@joefriesen5296 wtf
100kph is just 62mph… it’s a typical 0-60
Need some pics c5 are become more affordable have a 99 z28 auto stock
Yes, its hard to get more bang for buck AND attention than with the C5 :) Z28 not bad either!
0-100 km lol
Yep :(
Another owner who doesn’t know it’s over reving.
النترا تقفل ملفه
حتى هنا هههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههه هههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههه
Stop using kmh Americans plz
everyone uses kmh except you guys (UK)
Fake
How?!
No, it's Km/h and not Mph
0-60 in 6 seconds is a video I would delete, not post on youtube LOL
That’s not a bad time in a old car. You need a link to a tesla plaid video? Why u here?
