Flip around headlights one of my favourites!

Let's not do a 'worst' list. I prefer to praise not rag.

How I never want to get out of it once I take it for a drive. Can't quantify it....just a visceral appeal no other car has at any price.

But actual physical feature? Clamshell with flip around lights. No brainer.

1)The sound of an LT-1 or LT-4 motor with long tube headers (even when running through a stock catback exhaust).

You cannot get that sound with an LS motor.

2) The comfort of the late model C4 Lear sport seats ... for long distance driving ...the most comfortable stock seats in any generation corvette.

They're gorgeous - all streamlined and faired. The clamshell hood is always cool.

How about some smaller features:

1) The look of the intake runners on the L98.

2) The luggage shade. Take a look at what passes for a luggage shade on a C6 and you'll see what I mean - my wife (who loves her 2012) couldn't believe it.

3) Three hatch buttons on early C4s.

4) (working) Digidash.

I'm sure we can come up with more ...

And, I love the "cockpit" feeling - like you're wearing the car - not sitting upon it.

You can punch her as hard as you want and her dad will never complain

You can take her top off and only get smiles

If you don't like the parts she came with, you can get new ones

Or just maybe, its the growl when you drive her really hard
