Enjoy it! C5 waves are few and far between here. They usually give me the "I don't know you" look. The "wave" should have its own section in the owner's manual, including that its ok to wave to other generations.

Re: Caught a Z06 wave! (marthpodi)
Dude. I really think this. C5 owners primarly buy them because of what it stand for. Us C4 owners buy them because we love the Vette! itself.
Plus if you spend 40k on a car you car going to be older and more settled in your ways. Naturally, younger people drive C4's and drive them because they love the car not because it's a status symbol or they couldn't get one while their kids were living at home.
Just my opinions.

Re: Caught a Z06 wave! (BrianandDenise)
I got a C5 wave last tuesday but that was because as i was passing him, i starred and waved until he waved back. He looked very confused :confused: . I guess he didn't know about the wave. Hell when i am not in my vette i find myself holding back on the wave

hopefully i will soon have a z06 too :seeya

Re: Caught a Z06 wave! (BrianandDenise)
You guys crack me up! You're getting (already been?) paranoid about this wave stuff. C4 drivers are just as ignorant about it as everyone else. When I owned a C4, some C5's waved back and some didn't and the same applied to the fellow C4 drivers. My personal observations on the subject is the C3 guys are the problem but I don't sweat it. With those front fenders and little back window they do have "tunnel vision". Forgive them. :seeya :seeya :seeya

First C5 wave - and it was a beautiful yellow Z06!!! :cool:
That new ZO6 pilot is now posting somewhere:
“ I just got my first Vette wave from a beautiful '89 6-speed with
Flowmasters and K&N air filter”. "Never knew that Vette people waved before". ;)

Re: Caught a Z06 wave! (marthpodi)
A month ago I got a wave from this guy driving a C3. What a feeling it is to have other Corvette drivers wave. Especially if its from the older generations. :)

The only group that, in my experience, always wave back are the C1 and C2 owners. Plenty of non-responses from ALL of the other groups. Even had a ZR1 driver refuse to acknowledge my existance yesterday while in my '92!

Re: Caught a Z06 wave! (marthpodi)
Caught a C5 and a C3 wave this morning. I think some of the time the other driver just does'nt see you in time, happens to me occasionally. I find that most will wave, other than older women driving C5's
