Default Which C?

Which version if you could choose you would want to have next that C you have right now , even if it's another one you have right now!
Vote
Tell which one and year and maybe give color and engine and anything else you want.


I would take a C1 1961 Tuxedo Black Silver coves, red interior and base engine. The best looking Corvette I've seen (my opinion).

I like the C5's. Especially in blue.

But If I could have any Vette, it would be a 63 coupe. I'm not sure about the color. Maybe Dark Green. At night, I'd park that sucker in the driveway, crack open a beer, listen to the radio and stare out that split window. It's the best view through glass there is.

:cheers:

C-5 Z-06!

They are cars superior in performance to the C-4.

And they look sooo good in Blue, black and red seats.

Like the 24 hour Le Mans Edition. :thumbs:

:withstupid: or a 95 ZR-1, but since I already have a 95 and can only vote once, Z06 gets my vote :D

In order of preference:
1. 68-71, pure sex in the city! Hands down #1 vote for me. Causes immediate heart palpitations, severe sweating and shortness of breath...and for me, no woman on the planet could compete with this C3!
2. ZR1
3. 96 LT4

A C5? Are you kidding, not even when hell freezes over :eek: :lol:

I'm always torn between '61 and '62. '61 was the last year of the contrasting coves - and the best looking 'vette of all, but '62 was the introduction of the 327 CI / 370 hp fuel injected engine.

My dream would be to mate a red '61 body with white coves and interior with a ZR-1 or Z06 chassis and a li'l tweaking by LPE. :thumbs: :cheers:

Yeah, all the young guys on the forum love the big engines and hp's I want that car that has the sexy look. The '62 is what most say is the best Corvette, it has the '63 backend, and the best C1 body all over. People look at those cars, you can just see it, it was that time I guess. I would take any 58-62 and for pure value 53-55. Class I guess is what it is!

Since it is the Corvette I have always wanted but never owned, a 62 Fawn/Fawn. That is the same color combo they had on Route 66 and I still have a thing for the first Vette I ever drove, a 62 Black/Black FI car.

But seriously, I have the Vette I really want right now. I am a blue freak and my 88 is blue/blue so what could be better?
