I moved on to a C5 from a C4 ZR-1 11 years ago. I had that ZR-1 for 8 years and never entertained the thought to trade...but, I did. I haven't regretted it for a moment. The C5 is a wonderful platform for performance and modifications. That being said...I still love C4's, and bought an '86 last year to restore. I would love to have another ZR-1 eventually as well, that is a just an all-out fun car to own and drive.
C6's? Yes, in ZR1 trim but, it's not something I long for. The C5 for now, is about as modern as I want to go. I seem to be heading the other way. I've seriously pondered over '71-'72 Corvettes for ownership as well.

I have been looking at C4's for sale all over the south west. I see 1996 6 speed's in the right color selling for under $8K. I am sure I will purchase one next year. My goal is to purchase a 2002-04 C5 Z06. I have been looking into the cost of adding another 100 horsepower to the LS6 and it will come in at around $5,000. I will put $7K down and finance the balance. They are under $20K everywhere. After I pay it off modify it !

C5 and C6: no way. C5 looks not very attractive for a Corvette and the C6 interior looks too cheap for the money.
C7: any time
