I really love all vettes, I'm not going to lie, but our FRC body style looks the most like a purpose-built racecar to me... it's all business. Just enough room for two heads in the cabin, no need to slope the back glass

I got my first Z a couple months ago and sure enough, ALL the other vettes that drive by give a lil' wave. I cant lie, at first I thought it was kinda dorky 
BUT actually its pretty cool now, I feel like.... I'm a part of something 
I LOVE my Z, I'll always have one from now on (lord willing) and I will make sure to give all you vette owners a wave back 
VVRRROOOOOooooooommmmm!!

Most don't wave back, so honestly I kind of quit the deal altogether. I see older guys waving, but the newer crowd (like myself)...just don't. Then you have every guy on a damn bike waving...on sundays if you're behind a bike they don't stop wavin at each other...gayyy.

I was told by the previous owner of my car that you have to do the wave. He does it all the time and hes a grumpy old fvck! I also have not noticed any wave initiated toward me yet. Is it because I'm a younger vette owner? do the old guys feel jealous or intimidated? Or is it because my car is heavily modified and not your average midlife crisis car?

Got lots of waves from the Porsche guys there. Well I think they were waves, but they only had 1 finger up... 
Oh and before I left. They rolled in the #90 Corvette DP in the bay next to me. I got to see it up close and take pics. Pretty cool ride.
Oh the wave thing, I kind of gave up on it before I took my car off the street. I did it a lot at first. It seems to be a dying thing.

I love the vette wave, my prior post didnt convey that properly. Its just that i get stiffed constantly and start feeling lame. What it comes down to though, is that there are two categories of vette owners...the ones who own the car because its iconic, has a cult following, is an amazing performance car and represents some sense of achievment...then there are those who just own it because its says something about them or their bank account. The latter crew...you ask them if they've been to bowling green and they say..."why...whats there?" Those are the guys that dont wave.

I get the wave from time to time. I always try to wave back, or initiate the wave.
I try to wave all the time to fellow sport bike riders, it just sorta carried over to the Vette.
Funny thing is, I get more looks and waves in my C3 then what I do in my Z0.

The older the Corvette, the more they wave. I always waved in my 60 and 65 and almost always got return waves or maybe they were just shielding their eyes from the reflection of the sun off the chrome. I've gotten a few wave backs lately, mostly from the C4 pilots! The newer the Corvette the less they wave unless it's a ZR1 or Z06. Wave or no wave back I still always give the wave to other Corvettes.

Back in the day, the wave was given by all sports car drivers. We,re talking 50s, as a kid I use to wave too from the back seat of our family sedan. Still wave, but , I flash my head lights (with the radioflyer conversion they now have a flash to pass mod) so now the pop-ups do the wave.
