Ok.......all in fun.

I'll agree no one is cheating....No where in the rules is it stated posting around the different forums is prohibited.

Just like the guys saying "they didn't make vettes after '67" but that's cool.....

Just damn

Your C3 is nice. Do you drive it or just to car shows, car and coffee and back home?

The Ghost may not be perfect, but I have enjoyed the Vette to the fullest and Im not done. Even the 84s were faster, stopper quicker and handled better than the C3s.

Every generation has been an upgrade. My C5Z06 was better than the C4 and my C7Z06 is better than all Corvettes. The new ZR1 is the new top dog, and the C8 will be better.

The votes are what people do, not which Vette you or think it should win.

Even though is gold, I voted for your Vette on the Monthly C3 forum.

Good luck to all generstion Corvette of the Year Owners. Win or loose, I will congratulate all others.

It takes lots of money and sacrifice to keep a Vette ready, clean, and running.

Pete

Judging by the C5 votes, I beg to differ.

That C5 is smoking and it is NOT tire smoke. I've seen that at the track many times...

I hope it didn’t appear that I was dissing C5’s. I’ve actually been looking into the 04 Z06 for my next ride.

That C5Z06 is a great car. I had one for two years but sold it to buy the C7Z. I added modified Bilsteins from DRM made for the c6Z06 and sway bars from Van Steel and it was kicking *** and taking names all over any curve. I was going to install LS7 manifolds and they are in the garage right now. It has been for sale for few weeks but no takers.

We’ll see what happens come spring time... that gives me all winter to re-arrange the equipment in the garage so I can fit two vettes in it.

It’s a tight race. Any of those cars are worthy of the prize.

You will be very happy with that decision.

As for the rest of the generation azzhats Corvette production started in 1953.
It has been told the C4 saved the Corvette from extinction.
A story most of the naysayers wouldn't admit....
