Picking up a 1999 c5 vette this weekend if everything checks out. Going to be my daily driver. Looking to see if anyone here has personal experience and advice. Thanks!

i dailyed my C6 for about 3 years it wasn't bad until it rained snowed or did anything that wasn't ideal weather. But that was probably because it was always on a drag radial.

indeed it was, mine handles great in rain and snow as long as the snow isn't up on my bumper. As long as its not over 5 inches of snow I am golden. The traction control and active handling make it super easy to drive.

It just has full exhaust, intake, and some suspension upgrades.

Any reliability issues with your c6 besides regular maintenance?

That's great to hear! We don't get much snow here and if we do it's usually only a few inches and cleared within the day.
