It's the "new" vette owners that are clueless. They've never owned anything but the C6 they are driving, and have no regard for lineage and heritage. They bought it, not for the love of the car, but for the status. They need to be edumacated on vettiquitte. Just my .02

The hand-wave topic came up about a 6 or 8 weekis ago, and being a C5 owner for almost a year, I was not sure what the protocol was. I happened to comment that I only waved to C5 owners and most of the folks commented that the wave is universal across all corvettes.
As for the C6, a nice shiny black C6 pulled up next to me at a light yesterday and he didn't hesitate at all on the wave... actually beating me to it.

From my experience about 4/5 wave back... Yesterday I waved x2 to a EB C5 identical to mine with the exception that it was a Z06 lol. The dude stared at me like I was crazy. We even lined up at the light.

I've owned a C3...C4....& C5 and wave at all vettes. I've gotten waves from C6 owners. To be truthfull I don't always see every corvette. Some pass by untill it is too late to wave. We are supposed to be looking at all angles of the road ahead!
