Considering I own one of these C5 Corvettes, you'd think I'd have more experience driving them, but in fact, this is the first C5 I've driven that isn't my own in over 10 years. This Corvette has an LS3 engine swap, C6 Z06 Gearbox and Brake Upgrade, HRE Wheels, and a bunch of other go-fast bits. And as expected, it's loud, fast as hell, and an absolute joy to drive.
