Miles Overview
This is the fifth-generation Corvette, the one that dropped the pop-up headlights and brought the C5 platform to the streets. The cabin is snug for a two-seater, and the interior materials are a bit dated, but the seats are comfortable for long drives. Some early C5s had electrical gremlins and finicky pop-up headlights, so it's worth having a thorough inspection before buying. The 1998 Corvette Base is the entry point to the C5 lineup, and it's the only trim offered this year. Its 5.7L V8 makes 345 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. The convertible body style adds open-air driving without the structural rigidity of the coupe, so expect some cowl shake over bumps.
