2003 50th Anniversary Chevrolet Corvette Convertible | Retro Review 

You gotta get the 6 speed. My '01 did 201k miles with me and is still going strong.

I appreciate these cars now so much more than I used to.

Those Anniversary Corvettes are instant collectors items.

She looks good in that color!

“Raw American power”, just in time for spring.

I've enjoyed the MotorWeek theme music from late 1980's to the late 1990's.

This is pretty good timing because I'm wanting to get one of these later this year. Not necessarily because I'm interested in the Anniversary specifically but because the Anniversary ones were all loaded so it's easier to check when shopping used.

C5 Corvettes in general are great cars. These actually aged very well. A lot of older cars definitely look way better than these newer ones by miles. 😂

“Plastic fantastic” 😂🤣

Makes me sad that Chevrolet decided this kind of Corvette wasn't good enough to be a supercar because this was one of the most beautiful Vettes i'd ever seen

Im not a fan of unnecessary technology in cars. But the GM magnetic suspension is definitely one of the best inventions ever.

Motorweek is the best

Legendary host! And Car

I just bought one this past February. It's my first Corvette and it hasn't disappointed

This is the magnetic suspension system Ferrari borrowed. That says something about our Vette engineers

Oh 2003 how I love thee ❤❤

I have a 2000 C5 convertible that's still fun to drive

My brother in law had one of those! Sold it, and now has the c6 z06! What a beautiful car! It’s still look stunning today!

Crazy bc I would take this over the C8 lol

The ole c5 still has a fan base. I love my 6speed z51 car with upgraded heads, cam, intake, and exhaust. Grocery store friendly and can keep up with most of todays fast cars and trucks.

I bet the villages in FL saw the majority of these.

Absolutely love my 50th Anniversary edition convertible. Looks like it show room ready after all these years and turns more heads than ever. The younger group appreciate the "retro styling" which blows my mind because it still feels new to me. It never fails to turn a bad day into something good. Vette therapy for sure.

As a 2000s kid, this is what I think of when I think “Corvette”

I have one. Bought it in 2015 with 675 miles on it. Never thought I'd own one but one day I was in the chevy dealer and they had a number of different vettes. I saw the same type of the one in this video. Didn't get to get that one but got an even better one mileage wise. Found it in Florida, flew down there and drove it home. What a great short trip. Love this car for sure even with some of the bugs that came about over the years. It is fastttttttttttttttt with a great stereo system!

I love the Chevy S10 switches. 😅

Very well done review. I liked the morphing at the end from each generation to the next.

Just bought a spiral grey metallic 03. Cant wait to get it! Gonna be a cold summer bruh.

Crazy to think that would’ve been 1973 nowadays (for what was still 2023). My dad had a 1979 Corvette when I was growing up (which today that’d be equivalent to a 1999 model). It ran fine but nothing inside worked anymore… no windshield wiper, interior lights, horn, radio, no heat or AC, not even the clock worked. Although just before getting rid of it, my dad did put a new Bluetooth stereo system in since the old speakers were long dead. One that would let the radio play from his phone. He bought it in really bad condition in the early 90s (when the car was only around 15 years old) and him and his brother restored it and my dad kept it until 2015. He sold it and then got a 1997 Corvette which he had for a few more years until getting a 2009 Shelby GT500 convertible in 2019. By then he was approaching his 60s and wanted a fast car that was still easy for him to get in and out of, which the corvette was failing to do lol

I own a 2004 spiral gray coupe like the one at start of the video, 20 years old and still going strong

For 20 years ago it was a damn good car for the money. Loved the color combo but just like they made a ton of 40th anniversary cars they made a ton of 50th as well. I have an 88 35th Anniversary car which they at least limited to 2050 cars. Thought about getting the 70th C8 Z06 but they want stupid dollars for them. Great throwback video!!

Man I feel old now

I own a 03 convertible, today the vette hit 27K on the odometer, Great car.

Beautiful!!!

This was once my favorite generation. But I like the C6 better

I miss the pop-ups! This is the best generation for me. Not interested after this model.

Well it's almost 70 now

my grandparents owned that same exact 50th anniversary and I absolutely loved it. Sadly, they traded that c5 in along with another on a c7. still my favorite car they've owned til this day

The modern Corvettes owe a great debt to these older C5 models. They were good for their day, but the C7 and C8 are so much better.

Do you guys have a review of the 1994-1995 BMW 530i Touring Wagon?

That was the most boomer enticing review I've ever seen in my life lol

23 m.p.g., not bad, that's not bad, might actually beat that economy tax (not quite know what it's called).

Wow 55k in 2003 was quite a bit of cash.

The Vette had waaay to tall of gears with the automatic! The 6speed was much faster!

sweet I am 63 years old

Thankful it doesn’t have chrome wheels.

Wonder how much is the insurance on these.

im not one to complain about automatic transmissions much, but why did they offer a 4 speed auto when the manual option is a 6 speed? seems like a 5 speed auto wouldve been more appropriate

Get rid of the background music. It's insulting to John's voiceover work and the sounds of the Corvette.

Bro comparing this to a Dodge Viper

Just another sticker package.
