If you could own One of each Gen Corvette.... What would it be ?
Just keeping with production car's you could buy from a dealer.
C1 = 1962 327ci 360 HP Fuelie.
C2 = 1967 L71 427 Tri Power 435HP vert, side pipes, stinger hood (Only avail in 67), L89 Aluminum heads.
C3 = 1969 L71 427 Tri Power 435HP vert or coupe, side pipes, L89 Aluminum heads.
C4 = 1988-91 Aerobody Callaway TT (GM option B2K) ... or Grey 1990 ZR1
C5 = See my Avatar (04 Z06)
C6 = 2013 Silver ZR1
C7 = Not much choice here
.... (yet)
Of course they all have to be manual trans !
I did not go with the L88 options on the C2, or C3 because I'd be too scared to drive such a rare car....

C1 would be a 1958 Fulie
C2 would be a close call between a '63 split window and a '67 427/435 tri-power coupe.
C3 would be L88 coupe or vert or one of the two ZL1 cars made.
C4 would be a '96 Grand Sport Coupe
C5 would be either a 2003 AE coupe or a 2004 CE Z06 (Z16)
C6 would be a 2013 ZR1
Now if I could just hit that multi-million dollar lottery prize.

As much as I love other Vettes, I can only devote my care and enjoyment to the one I have. I used to have quite a few toys that took my attention and divided it up bewteen them. But I learned that while I was driving one my mind would think I should have been in another.
How can one really enjoy a drive while wanting to be elsewhere?
If I had a C6Z06....I'd want to be in my C5...sad but true.

C1 - it would be close between a 57 and a 61 but I think id go 61 (I saw a black with red interior red top when I was a kid and loved it.
C2 - assuming the 63 grand sport is out since it was only a prototype, I would want the 66 427. Ive always hated the stinger hood on the 67 and liked the 66 much better. Coupe or vert dont really care red/black
C3 - 68-70 bb car coupe silver/black or black/black
C4 - 95 zr1 black/black
C5 - 02-04 z06 red black or silver
C6 - 13 zr1 red, night race blue, grey, black, or silver

But any LT4 C4 would be fine with me.
