1. C2 (coupe)
2. C1
3. C5
4. C6
5. C3
6. C4

I think the C6 and C5 are very close I almost bought a C6. I like the front of the C5 better and the ass of the C6 better. It came down to the steal of a deal I got on my 04 vs an 06 that wasn't giving me leaps and bounds more for the extra$. I think the styling is great on both cars, but there is just no comparing to design and detail on the C1 & C2.

This video is going to make your day...

I drove a $250,000 '67 real Black/Red stinger 427/435

Fast forward to 6:11 I turn the key and the test drive begins.... and at 7:30 I roll into the gas.
The exhaust sound is the most amazing I've experienced for a stock car. (had 52k miles on the odometer)

IMO hands down Chrome Bumper C3's 68-72, 73's ok followed by the rest of the C3's. That's why I own a C3 and a C5.

My style favorites are early C3s (chrome bumpers),
then C1,
then C5,
then C2,
then C4,
and C6 is at the bottom (along with the later rubber baby bumper C3s).

My handling performance favorites: C4 (Z52 handling package),
then C5 (have not tried a ZO6, & that probably would elevate it to the top position),
then C3,
then C2,
then C1.
Can't rate the C6, but consider it a C5.5 anyway.

For engine / drive train performance: C5,
then C1 (at least my modified version with dual AFBs, etc., etc.),
then C2 (327/350 with no power suckers),
then C4,
then C3 (350/350 with all the power options),

For comfort: C5,
then C4,
then C3,
then C2,
with C1 at the bottom.

Having had C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5 Vettes (and currently own the 2 in my avatar - 62, and 03 50th Anniv. convert) ).
