No such thing as a stupid question.

There have been 6 Corvette Generations (C1 thru C6). The newest of which (C6) was released in 2005. The C5 had three model styles: Convertible, Coupe and the Z06. ALL are C5's, just different styles.

The C6 follows suit with the same body styles, albeit not all released as the same time. Coupe and vert have been released and the long awaited C6 Z06 is soon to be produced.

Heres a good site for more specific info: http://www.idavette.net/history.htm

To pick nits, the C5 did have 3 body styles. These being Convertible, Coupe, and Hardtop (all Z06's are hardtops, but not all hardtops are Z06's...)

The link you've provided has a lot of excellent info and is highly recommended reading for a Vette fan!

No dumb questions, but some times there are dumb answers. Technically the c6 zo6 discussions should be in the C6 forum, but they do come up and stay in here from time to time. This site has good info on the different year Vettes
