I will be changing my '81 for a 2001 or newer C5, this is only because my 330i Sport is up for renewel in just over a year and I will be getting the C5 as my daily driver. We also have a family MPV for taking the kids and dog out at weekends.

My next vette will probably be for the wife. I would like to find a nice 79-81 model. But this will be in the future.

My next one will be a late C4. I saw a decent '96 near me recently for about $10k.
I want one I can drive through puddles without guilt.

Re: A glimpse into the future - Your next vette? (SizzleChest)
Funny you should ask. I just test drove a 96 triple black vert with about 28k miles. The guy was aking $20,000, which I thought was a little high. Since I really don't need a second Corvette (but need does not equal want), I think I'll wait until the C6 is out before deciding on a C4. (I'm still not sold on the styling of the C5s).

Probably be a Z06. Don't have any idea as to when, but it might be a 2002 in 2010. Or if I'm lucky, maybe a 2006 in 2012.
