Corvette generations
As I sit here thinking about driving my corvette and it is -7 with -30 windchill outside, I was thinking of the relative numbers of the various vette generations I see driving around here in warmer times.
This is unscientific but it seems to me that by far I see more C5s on the road than any others. Followed by C4s. C6s slightly behind C4s. Next comes 3s, 2s. and occassionaly a 1.
What are the relative numbers of the generations where you live?

I think its relative to production numbers. The c5's seem to have been produced in larger numbers. Here in Florida I would say now I see about the same amount of c5 and c6's, starting to skew towards more c6s. Then c4, then c3, then c2, then the rare c1's. But again age + numbers produced play into this alot.

About the same here, possibly C5, C4, C3, C6, C2, C1.

C6, C5, C4, C3 and an occasional C2 or (late 50s C1)
There is almost a tie between C5 and C6s. There are more C6 cars showing up every day. The C4 guys are mostly (like myself) guys who do not drive the C4 for a DD. I enjoy my C4, but my DD is a C6 roadster.

Id say that makes sense. Just based on how many of each generation are left, and how often those get driven. Around here it's probably C5, C6, C4, C3, C2, C1. I've actually never seen a C1 on the road in my entire life....saw a very nice red '71 with side pipes this weekend though

Same here, see lots of C5, they dont like to wave either. C6 owners do wave. It must be a C5 thing...

C4, C5 & C6 about the same, Rarely see others. C3 once in a while. C2 a few times a year. C1, the only one I've seen on the road is a member here. I think he goes by SMS1. (59)
