I am the OP, and am still doing the wave, of course.
The problem is, I don't see many Corvettes around my suburb, so I don't get to wave very often!
On the other hand, it makes my car more unique, especially when I'm at the gas station, or parked in a store parking lot, so it's kind of cool.

I wave and get one back about 75% of the time. The most aggressive wavers seem to be younger guys - especially those also driving a C7. I also have a Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Wave is about 90% - something Jeepers take serious.

I wave all the time when I see another Corvette. Been doing it since I've owned my C4 in 2000 in Saudi Arabia. Didn't get many waves there! Not that many Corvette's. I would say the majority of other owner's do wave back both here in Illinois and in Canada where I lived.

Good luck on getting your first vette. I'm sure you will be smiling ear to ear. Keep it between the lines. Stay safe brother.

Wave
As a new and first time Corvette owner, I have noticed something: most of the time, when I am driving my Z06 and a Corvette is coming toward me from the opposite direction, the driver waves at me. I wave back, naturally, and I'm guessing that this is sort of a "we've got the car of our dreams" kind of thing that we are all acknowledging with "the wave."
So, is this a real thing, or am I just imagining it? I qualified my observation by saying "most of the time," because, for example, the other day a Corvette was approaching me, so I waved, but the guy driving did not wave back. Consequently, I guess not all Corvette owners participate in this ritual of ownership.
Are you a part of this "Corvette brotherhood?" Do you wave at other Vettes as you cross paths?
Thoughts?

Yes I do and before every function / drive with our group we point it out and have the print out for those that do not know about it.
