Isn't the ZR2 the most expensive around?there was one for sale about two weeks ago for 375,000.00 USD.1972,and was bright blue.There was only 13 ZR2's ever made,of which only three exist today(i heard this from a former owner who was selling odds and ends left over after rebuilding a total loss ZR2.He had mentionned that his was resold for 425,000.00.

i drive my dads 72 coupe all summer, love that car, and drive the torch red 99 coupe on ocassion, really love that car, but id have to say my favorite would be a fuel injected 327 powered 63 split window. gorgeous. and to those of you who mentioned that there was nothing changed from the c4 to the c5 and that the styling is unoriginal, i say to you....HAHAHAHA! the c5 is ten times the machine the c4 was. the construction process, from the hydroformed frame to the light weight composite bodypanels was redone and made better. a lot better. everyone i know doesnt really like the looks of the c4, feeling that it looks far too much like the camaros and firebirds of the 80's an i cant say i dont agree. plus women deffinately prefer the curves, of which the c4 has none. when i ride in my friends 88, no one looks at us twice, unless they know its a vette. in the 72 or the 99, everyone looks and comes up askin bout everything.

The C5 but not for looks

Actually, the first three generations of Vettes look better to me. The C4, well lets just say that was a dark period in Corvette History as far as styling. The C5 has good looks but the reason why it gets my vote is becuase of its other virtues such as ride, handling, creature comforts and so on yet, still has enough of that sports car look and feel. The C6 looks to be even better in all departments.

I have to say I am not an expert on vettes and my 1992 is the first one I have actually been able to drive normal and I love it to death. I never really liked the earlier C-4 but I have always loved what I believed to be the ZR1 style vette with the rounded rear bumper and the cockpit style dash. This is what prompted me to look for a vette between the years of 1991-1996. I have always and still hate the rear bumper and the exhaust look on the C-5. I also like the tilt nose on the C-4 cause I like the fact that you have better access to the engine without the possability of scratching the fenders.

We will all have diff opinions on diff years and thats what makes this so much fun... I get to learn about other years that I don't have so I can make an educated purchase on my next vette.... I say "keep up the good work guys"
