favorite vettes
So I was thinking today at work that when I get older I might want another vette. However I would never want to sell my c4. I think I have concluded that my favorite two generations are the c4 and c5. The c4 still has the raw sports car feeling while the c5 has the style and a more refined feeling. I dont think I would ever really want to make them ridiculously fast considering the little over 300hp in my c4 puts a smile on my face everyday. Basically I just wanted to ask what ya'lls favorite generations are and why.

I love the C3's, especially the 67 big block. A 427/435 with a stinger hood just looks absolutely gorgeous. I truly believe this is the best looking Corvette ever made.
If I ever get the funds, this is the one I will be getting.

My 65 is my favorite Corvette. Looks, styling and performance. Love them all but 65-67 convertibles are my favorite

My favorites (besides my C4) would probably be the 1963 split window and my Dad's white 68 coupe. Unfortunately he sold the 68 before I was born, but I still know where it is in order to make an offer on it someday.
