I should be honest and say I don't get excited when I see a C4.

... When I see a C5 I'm gitty like a school girl.

Why not? A vette is a vette. Not all can afford to have a "Newer Ride"!! Why let fellow "Vetters" think your head's up you A--!!

I wave at all vettes and more C4's wave back than any other generation. C5's are the worse at waving back.

My first Vette was an 88 Vert and I still have good memories of it. So yes I wave to C4, along with C6, C5, C3, C2, and C1's.

Absorootly!!! i'd' say C6's are the worst about not returning waves...don't see too many C1's or C2's on the road these days....C3's & C4's are getting pretty scarce too...but C5's & C6's are everywhere!!!

Scratch 1 vote from the nay tally. I normally don't browse the C-5 section but the title caught my eye, and I was being an *** by voting no. As you might guess I own a C-4, and I always wave at all vettes be they clean and new, to piles of crap.
I have only owned 3 vettes in my life all bought new starting with a 64 coupe and now my 96 vert. In all of those years I haven't seen a vett that I could not appreciate at some level.

I wave to all years. Rarely get waves back. But most are C5s. Although I drive the C5 daily so it might just be a generational thing. But yeah, Of course I wave to C4s. Cant discriminate, especially since I have a C4 in the garage.

Do you expect C6's to wave to you???

I wave to any vette or any car that waves to me. It's about corvettes not the year of the vette

It really is a silly question. I love all Corvettes and currently own one from each of the first 5 generations. I have been driving Corvettes for 37 years (guess I'm getting old) No matter which generation I am driving I always wave. It has been my experience that I get the fewest waves back from C5's. Anyone in this Forum is certainly an enthusiast. Unfortunately, for some late model owners the Corvette is just another car. If it weren't for the C4 there would be no C5 or C6. Lets hope there is a C7.

I wave to all, even the lowest of all Corvettes, the C4.
And yes, I hate wave threads. I don't even know why I opened this one.

So you have been swayed by the masses..

By the way just so you don’t feel bad I think the C5 is butt ugly, but it is one of the best driving Corvettes I have ever owned.

FINALLY a true Corvette enthusiast.

It's obvious there are a lot of wanna be's here that don't appreciate the history of the Corvette. To them it's just a car, so sad
