GT cars combine luxury with performance. In 1997, dual climate control, throttle by wire, optional sports seats and CD player with an on-dash computer were better than the crank windows my pickup had. Not to mention, there was an available convertible top.

The C5 was also a world class sports car with 345HP-350HP and the optional Z06 package pushing performance limits with various upgrades, including a higher output LS6.

Although it wasn't marketed as a Grand Tourer, what are your thoughts? Far from spartan, these cars are both comfortable and fun and their popularity seems to be gaining traction today.

Let's hear some opinions!

We are looking for a community member or two to help moderate the community to help ensure that the posts fall in line with the values established in the rules posted of r/Camaro.

Most importantly - we want to ensure that our community is decent and friendly.

The ideal candidates would be Redditors that regularly view our subreddit. Once invited to the moderation team, you will have the ability to view our moderation log and to approve/remove individual posts.

In short, we are looking for someone who would be comfortable with removing inappropriate posts in our community.

Interested?

• Reply to this post and let us know why you are interested.

The moderation team will discuss what steps to take next based on responses received.

Thanks!

Curious to know what tires you are running, and why.

I have Kumho Majesty 9 Solus TA91 all seasons that I bought while fixing up the car. There is nothing that I particularly like about them, but they grip up fine in the rain. Ride is comfortable. Needed tires quickly and this was one of the cheaper options my mechanic's supplier had at the time. I won't be seeking these tires out again, but I'm not entirely disappointed either.

The goal of this thread is to share what we spend on maintenance and repairs. For those that want to know some of the costs associated with a C5, this is the place to look.

Include:

• year, approximate mileage
• parts, cost
• symptom

Three notes:

• asking for you to share recent repairs
• past repairs are welcome, but not required
• pictures related to the repair are welcome, but not required

Feel free to share any additional details you feel are relevant!

This is our community and I think it would be cool to see our cars displayed on the banner.

Let's get some pictures of our cars used as the banner of our community. It will be on a rotating schedule. The first five people to share a photo will be used for this experiment.

• Post the picture as a reply to this post, and make sure it isn't a thumbnail.
• If someone else took your picture, ask for permission to use it.
• Keep in mind that banners are short and wide, so it may not present properly.
• The first five will be presented in order received.

I'm limiting this to the first five submissions on a temporary basis so we can figure out how to manage this. For example, how often we'll rotate the banner, and in what order they are selected. If a picture doesn't present well for some reason, then we'll move onto the next one.

Another determining factor is interest - we may receive no submissions, or maybe the interest will be overwhelming.

Any takers? Any opinions, thoughts or feelings on this? Does anybody want to help manage this?

Let us see how long it takes to receive the first five submissions!

EDIT: A photo has been selected based on presentation after being cropped to Reddit's dimension of 1072x128.

Let's get more pictures from the other folks who shared so I can try to work with the images.

This is the beginning of Day 2 for the return of r/C5Corvette!

Many thanks to you all for a welcoming return yesterday. When this sub was revived yesterday, there were 2,500 existing members. To help increase awareness and welcome everyone back, I'll be posting regular updates to increase our visibility.

Also, let's welcome u/Sausages64 for volunteering to help moderate this sub. We still have room for members who would like to help moderate and grow the community. I am waiting to hear back from r/Corvette to see if any of those folks would like to participate and if we can announce the return of our subreddit over there.

Later this week, I will start a thread for people who would like to showcase their cars in our banner area. I'll post details on how to submit your car if you are interested in being featured.

Until then..... get out your New Balances and jorts and don't forget to....

This subreddit has had no activity for a few years now and I learned that it was unmoderated. Reddit granted me this community upon request. I am also a moderator of r/Chevy and r/Camaro, so I'm no stranger to our online car communities.

My next steps are to:

• Establish a moderation team.
• Author some "common sense" rules.
• Make it known that this community is active again.
• Remove the restriction to request the ability to post.

I would like to underscore that this community was left unmoderated with no activity and the original moderator is welcome to return, and their content will remain in the post history.

Hopefully we can restore a community set aside for C5 enthusiasts! Please join and stay tuned - hopefully the restricted status will be lifted in a day or two.

To preface, I have a '93 6SM and '96 4SA.

I prefer the manual because I enjoy the experience, but the '96 4SA with the 4L60E is the best experience I've had driving a torque converter - well controlled, shift points are programmed artfully so the car is responsive and downshifts timed properly when driving spirited. Shifts are crisp and predictable, and no "slush box" feeling. To my surprise, I really don't mind it.

What leaves me scratching my head is that I can't say the same for my C5 with a 4SA. That feels like the shift points are programmed for a fuel economy and a luxury car, and not a sports car.... until the throttle is opened, and it takes off like a bat out of hell. The issue is that there doesn't seem to be much provision for moderate driving.

Just figured I'd throw this out there and see if anybody had opinions, or could relate. This took my by a surprise despite having a C5 and a 4th Gen. LS1 Camaro - both autos that lived up to the term "slush box."
