Be still my loins! 
The Viper could get away with looking terrible. People loved it for the danger. You could never tell when it was going to decide to swing dangerously out of control under all that power.

Here’s my favorite C5 Vette

My assumption is that this post is 100% snark. Yellow, while a problematic color for … reasons, is still better than the gov’t issue silver on half of all cars. We own a C4, the generation currently at its nadir of value and it’s still a metric ton of fun: 6 speed manual, drop top and fresh suspension.

Yup, exactly that. The joy of the Corvette is that it’s a high performance car that folks can actually OWN, and that’s thanks to some very well applied engineering driving the cost/performance ratio. I drool over the engineering porn that is every hypercar as much as the next guy, but that’s nothing compared to the shit eating grin you get driving a C5 on a sunny day.

A C5 Corvette is a very high performance car that handles incredibly well. The kind of spring it uses is immaterial if the car handles well and is comfortable - which these do both - unless you’re someone that has to be Serious about cars. Also, yellow is at least not Serious Car Person issued silver or black.
A C5 was designed in the 90s. It was exemplary for the 90s, and mind blowing coming from GM.
I’m more of a small 4 cylinder sports car guy, but there’s basically nothing I wouldn’t like about this car. (Previous Miata owner, current MR2 Spyder owner, mostly drive a Volt, sigh)

I think I’m not understanding the paradox of a subject around “boring” creating interest?
So, it’s a Corvette. Personally, I find sports cars boring in general. Oh, it can go fast. That’s nice.
The exciting part comes when you make mistakes.
Is it painted in matte yellow?
Pre-1976, when they started computerizing the mechanics.
I didn’t say I found racing boring. Just sports cars.
