I have the exact and only model/year that I would want an '02 Z06. While I like some of the older vettes, I wouldn't ever want to own one - and I don't like the looks of the C6's...

I would want a 1973 orange vette, the year I was born. The last year of the rear chrome and the 427 block before the oil crisis of the 70's and ralph nader stepped in with a decrease in HP.
Unlimited money.....(I can't believe anyone hasn't said this yet). The Blue Devil Project vette, approx over 600 HP to beat out the viper's new stated HP.
I would have said a 67' 427, but a neighbor of mine is in the process of restoring his and I can catch a ride when he's done. A interesting story on how he found the original engine on E-bay after searching for 10 years. A one in a million chance.

Probably a C6 Vert, assuming I had to use it like I use my current car. If this hypothetical world also gave me a big, multi-car garage and let me keep my C5, then I'd say a 63-67 vert. But only if it was in very, very good condition.

Just out of interest. We all know we love our C5s and would never part with them
So whether money was an issue or money was unlimited, which generation would you go for if you were buying your second (or maybe 3rd or more) Vette?
In my case, money unlimited probably a C6. Money limited a C3 but its close.

As an addition to my C5 I would really like to have a C2 (65-66) 350hp, 4speed roadster, steering,brakes and air. And Dave, make that Red on Red.

I'd really love a 427 vert too. Saw one at the drag strip when I was younger and it was BAD!
