Don't Like This Poll
It only let me make one choice, but fact is, I bought mine because of design, price/handling/performance, AND because I couldn't afford a Ferrari...
All in all, it was a no-brainer...

Bought my first vette in '68, it was a '66 coupe and paid $2700. That poll should have all of the above as a choice.

I've always wanted one since 1974 when I saw a fellow graduating seniors graduation gift from his parents of a blue '63 split window 
what a car I thought to myself someday I will be able to get one

C6's LOOK like Corvettes again .. shorter, edgier, not so soft and no big butt!
I think they could, and should be called Stingrays again.IMHO

My 60 vette was getting lonely in the garage. Actually, I bought it because I love corvettes. It gets built this week, so I still don't have it, and my 60 is still lonely.

Bought my first vette in 1972, a 65 convertible for $1,500. I still have it. I still have the 61 I bought 20 years ago for $8,500. I've owned many others over the years. I have always loved the performance and styling of the Corvette. It started when I was a kid watching the old Route 66 program with Martin Milner and George Maharis. The freedom of the open road in a Corvette was very alluring. That hasn't changed for me.
