The C3 limped along to 1982 on a 1963 chassis. The C4 was a clean sheet of paper design that delivered world-class handling, I like everything about them except low (factory) power in the early years and clumsy entry/exit.
Clean C4s have been a sports car bargain for the last couple of decades, hold your heads high!
-C2 owner (with C4 seats in my roadster, what an improvement!)

Yep another Ford guy here into Corvettes.
For me looks wise are as follows, but ranking them is wrong they are all fantastic in their own way and all have their own charm. I'll happily drive and own a C2. Guess I am ranking them based purely on looks.
C3 1980-1982
C3 1968-1972
C4
C5/C6 Equally
C2
C1
This is nice...

The rest were built around these two. Each generation improved itself in sports car performance but if you look real close you can find hints of the first two generations in each car. Why do you think the crossed flags were put between the seats on the rag top C5. They were trying to bring back the feel of the C1 interior. The C4 sits real low. So did the C1 and C2 with that feet straight out feeling and low to the floor..

Kinda hard to choose as every generation has it's standouts.
Seeing as how I own a '91, I'll say headlights up, C4.

I like them all, each for a different reason. I can't bear the thought of separating them out. If I could afford to, I'd own one or more of each generation... And, I would drive them all-at different times of course.
