Don't get me wrong, I would like one of each, but I do have generations that I like more than others.

C1: Cool
C2: Very cool
C3: Possibly my favorite
C4: Not bad
C5: Not bad
C6: Other candidate for favorite generation (but I own a C6 so I'm biased )
C7: Now that's an interesting story. I don't know how I feel about the styling. I mean I like it, but it's different to me (not bad, just different). That being said, most of the C7 owners I have spoken to are complete tools, so by association (unfairly I know) I like the generation less because of the owners I have talked to.

I too would give up my 77 Pro Street T/A for a C6 modern muscle Z06, 427 vert., or ZR1

Sure, I have favorites. Like the 69 Stingray!
I like all Vettes. For without the early ones, the newer ones wouldn't be what they are! If there would have been a CF in 1958, I'm sure things would be different, but look at the other cars in each era, the Vette always stood out! Just as it does today!
Love em all!

I like them all, but am partial to early C3's '68-'73.

C'mon Commander, didn't you like the clam shell hood on the C4? The car was uncomfortable to drive, but when you opened that hood, it made it all worth while

My take, for what it's worth... If I flip flopped on anything first, it would be the C1.

C1 = Nope
C2 = Yup
C3 = Yup
C4 = Nope
C5 = Nope
C6 = Yup
C7 = Yup

I agree with you, but my order is different. Ranked solely in terms of beauty (as another poster has said, there are other considerations if you use the car a lot, etc.):

C2 (way out in front)
early C3 (chrome bumper)
C6
C1
C5
C7
C4
late C3

That said, I remember seeing the new C4 at the Tokyo Motor show in 1983, and it looked really, really good back then, probably because it was such a big improvement over the 1982 C3 (there was no 1983 model). No offense to anyone here; just my personal opinion.
