Same as OP, though I would place the C4 above the C5.

I don't buy cars that I don't like the appearance of. I guess that's why I have owned every generation of the Corvette except for the C4 and C7.
But, putting them in order is difficult for me, so I guess my wallet does the choosing for me, thus I currently own a C1(1956), a C2(19640 and a C6(Z06).

I would also add thought that my impressions of a particular generation are tainted by other factors.
For example, the C2's were the cars I saw on the road as a small boy and what made me want a Corvette in the first place. So those will always be special in my mind regardless of what else comes along.
The C3's I associate with the 1970's..a decade for which I have a particular distaste. Everything from the '70's seems like crap to me (no offense C3 lovers - this is not based on logic).
The C4 I associate with a sort of re-birth of the Corvette after the craptastic 70's.
The C5 was the first time I was able to afford a new Corvette and came a long at a time of general resurgence of more powerful engines. Yes I know there were others and there were earlier ones but this is combined with the fact that it was the first time I could actually buy one.
C6. Nice and if I did not already have a C5 at the time might have bought one...but since I already had a C5, it seemed like too much of an evolutionary car and not a big enough step up.
C7 - got me lusting after a new one again...and here we are.
So:
C2
C7
C5/6 - seem like almost the same car to me
C1 - got to love the original from a nostalgia point of view
C4
C3 - a 1970's mobile
