I thought about starting this thread over here too
My answer from that other thread

I think you meant to say C5. I still have trouble with them compared to the Firebird head on.

Anyway
C3 - 80-82 love the style
C4
C6
C2
C5
C1
based mostly on styling, performance would be totally different.
Maybe to be more fair this sort of question should be in a general section like CFOT since it will always be biased by the section it is in

C1-The car that started it all and who's spirit lives in every other Corvette.
C2- The perfected C1 spirit in a better handling car.
C4- All the feel of the C1,2 and 3 but with much better handling and luxury features.
C5- The modern day sports car.
C3- The car that was able to survive the emission crazies while keeping as much tradition as possible.
C6- Improvement of the modern day sports car
