I think a lot of C6 owners are first timers and don't know the tradition of the wave. I find that most true Vette lovers feel they have something in common and treat other Vetters as family, therefore, they wave. I have no problem meeting strangers that drive Vettes and talking to them like we have always been friends. I have owned Corvettes since I was 19. I am hoping the people that buy and own them don't change this camaraderie!

I wave to any enthusiast looking vehicle or motorcycle (including police) and usually get a wave / nod back with the that look that says "we both understand why we drive what we drive and the roads we are on"

I am in S cal and most times on Canyon Roads, so not too many garage queens rolling about.

See you all out there. I'll be the one waving the bird if you don't wave back

I've found that most 'Vette drivers in my area wave - even the C6 drivers. I drove past a beautiful '65-'67 a couple of weeks ago. He waved too.

They always wave to me - maybe they just can't miss Torch Red?!

I occasionally will get a wave from a C6 owner, most don't though, now I don't even bother with them unless they wave 1st..All other gens seem to return the wave etc..

I wave to all vette owners. Whats funny is I even wave to them when I'm not in my car. Just today I was waving guy with a C6 GS and I bet he was thinking I was a hobo or something.
