I voted "I like them all"
But the C6 is my favorite, then the C5, then the C3 (68-73) The C3 - 74-82 don't do anything for me.

Pea poor poll.....!!! Stupid even...missed a very valuable edition and then had to throw in that political crap! C4's also included the venerable ZR-1, the ORIGINAL wide body which a bunch of you guys want to play poser with...in addition, the LT5 was the ONLY GM engine designed and built by a company outside of GM, had 32 valves, 4 cams and 16 injectors and 400+hp,....20 years ago!!!. Ignorance counts for nothing.....

All the generations have their good points. I have tried them all except The C-5's. I like them all. I hope to see a few more generations before I leave this life.

I wouldn't be surprised if the rumored hybrid Corvette was fitted with ZR1 bodywork so we could all see the batteries beneath the plastic window in the hood. (See Alfa Romeo GTV6 Maratona)

Took me a while, but the C4 (to me) is the best looking. I've owned a 60 red-on-red, 71 LS5 convertible (red-on-red), 73 L82 coupe (red-on-black), 99 coupe (meg red-on-firethorn) and currently own a Monterrey Red 07 and a 90 ZR-1 (red-on-red).
The C4 has a lot going for it - clamshell hood, real sport seats, the LT5 (in the ZR-1), but also the LT1 and LT4, world-class handling - so good they had to create the Corvette Challange because Porsche and BMW/Mecedes refused to compete against the C4. After the C4 I'd go with the C5. It's fun to knock what others like, but the C4 is just at the bottom of the curve and will start climbing. I went through the same thing with my 71 LS5. Evryone said it was a fugly POS, had a boat anchor for an engine, etc etc. Now everyone thinks they're the greatest thing since sliced bread. So it goes
