    I think the 63 Gran Sport ZO6 street is the best looking. It's hard to find pics, but I know it's absolutely gorgeous. Either that, or a red 54 Corvette, completely stock.

    A 1969 ZL1 vette, a Baldwin Motion 488ci 68 vette, and L89 and L88 vette throughout the run of the option.

    While I appreciate the older corvettes like the Fuelie, ZL-1, and the 63 split window, the new 2006 Z-06 has to be the best Vette to date. I say this because the new Z-06 has only has 505 hp, but because of it's superb tuning and light curb weight(roughly 3,170 lbs), it's faster than most other supercars. I mean 11.5 in the quarter and 3.7 to 60 mph, thats freaking fast for 505 hp rated car. Sure, there are cars that can beat it, but for over 150 grand.

    Yeah, my choices, too.
    The L88 'Vettes could run in the 11s.
    The ZL1 could also run in the 11s, even high 10s.

    I would also add a '66 427/425 'Vette and '63 327/375 'Vette.

    Any Vette made before about 1970 will do me, but the best is the 2006 Z06.

    In Factory appearing stock tire racing, a 68 L88 corvette ran 10.97 at 125mph. Its the fastest stock muscle car in the world right now.

    That horsepower rating gm is giving is bullshit, those cars have at least 550, I have read multiple corvette forums and they all say the same thing. In fact GM may have had a slip check it out. Either that or its the 2007 model hp upgrade, but i dont think so.
