You forgot the late 80s early 90s(before the body style you posted)TAs. They look really close to the C5.

I guess that I am missing the point of this thread. Sorry, but apart from the popups, I don't see the resemblance to those other cars.

I choose the looks of the C5 over all the other cars shown. The C5 is what I choose to own. I still really enjoy owning and driving mine. The looks, the sound, the feel of it is great. To me vettes are the best car to have for FUN and they are to me the coolest rides ever. I have loved vettes for years and to ME all other cars are just cars and vettes are in class all by them selves. That is just how it is to ME. I am very happy with my vette.
