The enthusiasts will wave but the others won't. Not everyone who drives a vette are enthusiasts.
"There are people who drive Corvettes. and there are Corvette people. There is a difference."

Railroadman says that.

I have had people driving pick ups to foreign made vehicles wave at me when I'm in the vette.

I actually get more waves from people driving the Hot Rod and vintage type vehicles. they're a good bunch!
I've noticed that too. When Im out in the C-3 I get more waves from the Street Machine/Muscle car group also and more from ALL of the VETTE community. Just not as much in the C-4.

Is that the Dana 44 rear end? I understand it can handle a little more torque! I also think the headlights are flipped up!

I read this thread yesterday and this aftenoon driving home from work, I came to a red light. Heading in the opposite direction and waiting at the intersection was a silver C5 next to a red 350Z. I thought: I'm gonna test this wave thing, the next second, the light turns green and both cars take off racing. I saw in my rear view mirror the the vette had spanked the Nissan... I guess the C5 driver was too busy to wave!

There should be a wave sticky. It would probably be the first thread to have 1,000,000 posts.

Picked up my coupe down in Conn. in January. I din't get 2 miles before I saw another C4 comming in the other direction. He gave me the wave before we passed each other ( which was a good thing as it gave me time to process and wave back ). I haven't failed to get a wave from a C5 or C6 ( totaly sick car ) yet.
