Default I love the C3.

I got home from getting the 96 on monday and pulled it up beside the 78. I just love the looks of the C3 body style. Riding in the 96 makes me want to spend more time with the 78. Am I crazy? I like the 96 and look forward to spending time in it.

The C3's look more like a REAL corvette, better lines! :smash:
I love the color of your 96 :yesnod:
Is the 96 your daily driver now? :cheers:

Not crazy - I have had a love for the C3, especially the 68-72 forever. They just had a unique look.

C3 forever!!!!! I had 2 C4's and they are extremely fun for driving!! They handle much better than C3's. However - the looks of the C3 is just so awsome.... There is no late model car (exept maybe the Dodge Viper) that has such great looks!!! The Viper is the only late model sports car that I could imagine buying......

:cheers:

There's truly nothing else like 'em. I owned a C4 as well, but you can see which one is still with me today (by choice). :D
