Cool goal. I would have to pass on the C1 since I can't fit in one.

The 1957 is tough to overlook, but I love the C5 as well.

"I believe the C5 is the best looking corvette ever made including the C6." Huh?

Love my C5Z...but the C6Z is the best looking vette ever made.

I think the C4 ZR-1 takes that prize.

I think the '63 was noticed as a sports car world wide as well. The Grand Sport ran the big races (LeMans, etc) and the '63 was one of the early cars with independent suspension, fuel injection, etc. I also think it was one of the first cars with 4 wheel disc brakes.

The ZR1 was definitely HUGE when it was released as well. It was being compared to the F40 and Porsche 959. It wasn't really in the same class, but to be even compared is an honor!

Love my C5, but seriously when you consider that C4's were banned from SCCA Events for being too unfair to Porsche and Ferrari cause they JUST COULDN'T compete. Well that really says ALOT!

But my C5 is my favorite!

I agree, imo the C5 is the best looking of all generation Corvettes to date.
