2999.6 Mile Road Trip in a C5 Vert
Orlando to Charleston, Asheville, Nashville, Bowling Green, West Lafayette IN, Indianapolis, Louisville, Lexington, Kingsport TN, back to Orlando. Great trip, did a few distilleries and other sights. If you wonder how much you can load in a C5 Vert, a bunch of stuff.

This would be a great story for Doug to cover in Corvsport or whatever blog that is.
Ron, congrats on a cool trip. 30+ MPG is a win, IMO. Especially in a performance car. |

Sounds like a fun trip but not a huge feet considering it’s comfort level is only matched by a C6.
Drove my C6 from Nashville to Okla City making one stop for gas only .. got home and was ready to party .. true story |

I took my C5Z on a 300ish mile day trip, 30.9mpg taking it easy, the long 6th gear is really handy. C5s and C6s were good reliable cars, not exceptionally comfortable cars, but hell...if i wanted a comfy car id have kept my 89 Fleetwood...which had less than half the power and got 21mpg

My vette has run flats on them so I run them flat as instructed. It's a very uncomfortable ride so I can't do road trips.
