WHAT IS THE BEST YEAR CORVETTE?
Discussion
Performance: the new C6 Z06 is best for stock performance , both power (505hp) and handling. But depending on what you want to do, previous generations are equally good if you're happy to modify them a little bit, although note you can get 405hp stock in the C5 and C4 vehicles to start off with.
Looks are subjective. I personally like the C4 - handy, as I have one - but I think the outright sexiest is a '68 stingray.
Collectability, probably a '68 is fairly rare, as are the first generation, early C2s. I think late-model year ZR1s are fairly rare too (92-95 I think).
So, all in all - impossible to answer, and depends on what you want. But thankfully no matter which you choose, they're all Corvettes. And that name says all it needs to.

I am partial to the last of the C5's
The 2003 Anniversary, and the 2004 Commemorative.
They have all the top toys, and I believe, a lot of the suspension is C6
I think they have the sexiest curves of all the 'vettes.

Sure the other 'vettes are good, however only the C5 has the curves of a beautiful female

I'm kind of fond of our 1960 Vette.
So am I - wish I had one like that. Superb car.To answer the original question - C5 Z06 if you have around £25k to spend. If you have double that amount then a C6 Z06 but at twice the price, would it be twice the fun??...................
My favourite Vette, looks wise, is the 1980-1982 C3. I had one of the very last 1982 'Vettes, and although they're supposed to be unreliable, I didn't have a days problem with it. Looks that have never been matched since the first car built. Stunning.
As far as performance goes, you simply cannot beat the new C6 Z06 - I'd actually sell my grandmother to get one of those. All the new business ideas I come up with now are no longer based on buying myself more property - it's all about getting enough cash together to buy a C6 Z06 - or even better, a Corvette SS (Blue Devil).
Vroooooom!
