C1 (the 57, my favorite Corvette. Classic lines, minimal chrome for the period.)
C3 (chrome bumper years)
C2 (especially the split-window coupe)
C6 (an updated C3)
C4 (a modern design)
C5 (ground-breaking engineering, but not pretty)

The jury is still out on the C7, though I expect it will slot in at or above the mid-point.

I know everyone has their opinions, but It's hard to imagine rating the C4 and 5 above any of the other models in my mind.

We had one of these polls a while back.

Appearance only (IMO technologically, the C7 is tops)

C2 (split window - the car I fell in love with as a 13 year old) tied with the C7 as the car I fell in love with as a 64 year old) Always loved Ferrari (especially the new F12 Berlinetta), saw the C7 and it captured that essence of the Ferrari at a price I could afford.

Torn between the C1 (Route 66 cars (56 to 62) and the C6 (especially the GS's). Another tie in my book.


C3 Mako shark body style - 73 with the split bumper design and the 78 with the torpedo rear glass design are my two favs

C5

C4

Answers are going to vary based on what section you post it in. I would expect C7 to get more first place votes here than in the C2 section.

C2
C3
C6
C1
C4
C5
C7

That's of course not to say that any of them are bad. It's like ranking your favorite ice creams, one being better than the other doesn't mean the other one isn't great

I still want a C4, I don't care what anybody says. There is a place up the street from me with an '84 Supercharged C4 with 3,000 miles on it. I want it to be my daily lol.

Hard to fathom how anyone can look at a C5 sitting next to a C1 and think the C5 looks better, but totally understand it's all in the eye of the beholder.
