~There is something about every Corvette that makes one like a certain generation possibly more than another. The C1 went thru a few different body changes
and I've owned two of those. I have never owned a C3 yet I like the body style. I've owned 5 C4's... and 1 C5 and it drove great...owned 5 C6's and 3 C7's...and only 2 C2's.
The moment I test drove the C7 prototype I knew it was world class...I also got to test drive the prototype for the C5 and C6 at VIR...but that C7 ride out at Spring Mountain
before they started production was something special. I could tell instantly that you really felt in one with the car and it was because of the 50/50 weight rating both front to rear and side to side. I also got to drive the C6 Z06 prototypes before production out at Bob Bondurant in 118 degree weather at his Phoenix track.
BUT...The body of the C2 is what gets my blood flowing especially the Boat Tail rear end. My dream car is a Red/Red 63 split window but I currently own a fully loaded Marina Blue and White 1967 Cpe. The 67 is far superior in every way over the 63 but there is something iconic about the split rear window. Only time will tell if I will ever own a 63 but one thing is for certain...if the 8th Generation is as good as I think it's going to be...that will be my next Corvette.
