Personally, I try to wave at all my fellow Corvette drivers. If they wave back or don't wave back is fine with me. Although I can't remember anyone not waving back. With that said.

its like that a lot on sportbikes. a lot of times i didnt get waves. then i would just switch to one finger hoping they looked in their mirrors.

I had this old 1980 light blue moped that I would ride around in my full race leathers with. I would do the gayest wave i possibly could to guys on harleys. they never waved back

I do not think they are not cool. They just not know. I was a founding member of Northern Rays Corvette Club in 1971. I am still an active member and an officier. When the club was founded I was average age for membership. Today I am still average age. Most of the new members in the Club are older have C6 and have never owned a Corvette , They have paid for their kids college, paid off the house and bought the car they always wanted but put other things 1st.
I had a no wave experience yesterday no waves 3, C6 Vetts and got waves from 1 Viper, 1 Porsche, 1 BMW M and a thumbs up. Maybe they don't know or some are just Aholes.

When I'm in my C5 I wave at 'em all. Even C6 drivers wave back. When I'm in my C6 I wave at 'em all. Even C5 drivers wave back.
Maybe here in So. Calif. we have a lot of "wavers". Don't know for sure but I'll keep it up.

Don't let it bother you - it's not just confined to C6 owners - there are a lot of C1-C5 drivers that do the same thing.

Went to Kemah yesterday and drove around today. I saw 5 C6's and a couple C5's. All 7 waved, so don't feel bad... you just had a bad batch.

I always wave...if someone waves back, they're a Corvette person and they get it.

If not...I figure they're not and they don't. Their loss.

I give a wave to all Vettes. If they wave thats great. If not, thats OK too. I have passed Vettes before and did not notice them until it was to late to wave. It's nothing to worry about my brother. Keep on waving.

When you get no reply and you know they saw you chuck it up to the Vette experience being totally new to them. Forgive them for they have sinned.

It should be in the owners manual but it's as thick as a phone book already. That same person wouldn't read it anyway.

Just stay away from the C6z's they might be in a hungry mood.

In San Diego, I'd say 50% of the Corvette Drivers I run across, wave. Just the nature of the beast.

Driving to local auto show Friday afternoon and I stop at a redlight next to a white C5 with Florida plates. (I'm in Kentucky) I said jokingly, "You drove a long way to an auto show in a small town." He replied, "That's why I'm here." The light changed and he drove away and WAVED! I was so stunned, I almost forgot to wave back at him.

This is what I do most of the time. I just keep my hand ready so I can wave back as soon as I see them. Usually when I wave before they do I get no response.
