Too bad the C6 owner had to be so arrogant.

I'm surprised by how many waves I get from the C6 owners. Been snubbed by a few, but oh well. There's no need for a thumbs down from a Vette owner. Maybe he has a rice car at home and got confused.

I hope that guy realizes that 'Vettes are not for him and he sells it so a more deserving owner can take over.

I still maintain they are NOT a better car than a C5, any more than a C5 is a better car than a C2 or 3, just a different vintage. What gives with these morons?

almost all of the vette people wave when they see me. there is the occasional one who doesnt know about the wave. usually female c4 owners. i have waved at 3 seperate ones and have made eye contact and they look at me like im retarded. 
the only c6 owner i have spoke too was a great guy. he didnt wanna "PLAY" but was cool.

One of the best descriptions I've heard yet! You made me laugh so loud I almost woke up my sleeping family!
My description of the rear end of the C6 is that it looks like someone accidently backed it in to a giant belt sander and ground off about 5 inches!
Bucky Beaver...Waaaahahahahahaha...you're killing me!

Wow, a Corvette pecking order of some kind 
All kidding aside, as so many have said before... "It takes all kinds"
I like the C6 and almost bought one but chose a C5 instead... I'm just happy to share in the pride of owning an American icon!!! IMHO, a Vette's a Vette and all are great cars regardless of year. However, unfortunately, that doesn't seem to hold true for their drivers at times. Sounds like that guy had "immature moment" or some brain-lag 
A'Hui Hou!
