    cant beat the first 2 generations of Corvettes. I was a die hard corvette fan until the C5 came out. These early ones are the reason I loved them so much.

    Am I missing something here?
    The C5 is worlds better than any previous vette.

    I fell in love with the Corvette back in the 70's. The styling cues were much more distinctive. What I like about the new Z06 is that the finders resemble that of the C3. I still don't like the hatch back look. But I will over look it given the chance to own one.

    it just didnt appeal to me... it lost the small and lithe look. it always looked overweight, and poorly styled. the C6 improved a ton, and i love it, but it will never compare to those early ones.

    A FRC C5 weighs 3150 if im not mistaken and have u seen the car up close or pictures? My favorite is the 63 split window but that cars pretty nice. Also the C5 compared to a late 70's model looks tiny and alot more refined.
