Default Sexiest Corvette Contest~

This is for Corvette owners that owned more than one generation Corvette. (or wished they did own!) What Corvette do you think you would look the very best in??? For me..well my love was and always will be my 1980 C3, It was me and it felt as good as rain. I have a '03 now and vastly superior to the C5, but in my heart it will always play second fiddle to the C3! "NEXT" (Greetings to all, Rob)

My 64 (vert) and 65 (coupe) were my favorites for looks. My 80 was OK looking, but a pain in the azz. (I owned it 18 years). I love my 2000, it has everything I need and it's easy to maintain.

Going with a dead tie between the C2 (65) and the C5. I have had 4 generations (9 cars) C2 through C5, and although the C2 was bad azz with it's sidepipes and short muscular look, the C5 is one AMAZING, sleek looking car.

The black C5z I have right now is drop dead sexy. The proof is all the thumbs up and strangers stopping me to talk about it. Not to mention the women on the road giving me the obvious check out.

But the '71 LS5 I had, with side pipes, still gives me a chubby when I remember how great it sounded starting up the the morning.

My 82 C3, it was my first and you always remember your first. I do love my C5. in a couple years it may be a toss up. My C3 was a bit of a pain sometimes. enough Vacuum hose to reach across the country...But I still think about that car

I would love to have a '67 but that is out of the price range. I've owned C3s, C4s, and C5s and of those, I like the C5s best for overall looks.

I love my C5's but they don't hold a candle to a 67 BB Roadster in black with a red stinger.

C2's are nice in the outside, but the interior was lame.

Have not seen anything sexier than the 2001 I have now - that is why I am still in it.

Didn't own a '63 split window but if i could i would get one of those and put all new (LS1 etc) parts in it and enjoy!

Other than that the C4 well I out grew it, it has to be the C5 the one I currently have - it is everything I have ever wanted in a Vette and a whole lot more

Thanks,Matt

Always loved the C2's, my 64 coupe was a great car. Love the looks, but it wasn't anywhere near the car my 94 Z07 coupe was. And that one didn't have the performance of my 01 coupe.

I love all Corvettes, I'd love to have at least one of each generation, but that just isn't going to happen.

My favorite of the corvettes that I have owned thru out the years would be my 67 coupe (auto because of the wife). click on the avatar to see it, along with my 76, with my wife in it, this time it was my turn, a 2000 blk/blk. 6 speed. BLACK MATCH BOX (GINO).
