Ironic I am reading this. Pulled up at a light to a nice Porsche 911. He looked at me, and I looked at him and waved back--as if to acknowledge his great taste in car. He nodded and waved back.
The light turned green, and I left him in my rear-view mirror--never to see each other again...........
I think people should wave for not only Corvettes, but anyone else who looks like the appreciate a finer, more rare, or crazy automobile.
I always wave at Corvettes of any vintage or any nice car, be it an old Chevy or a new Ferrari. There aren't enough rare or exotics out there and like Colin says, they are all worth a wave. Driving these cars should be encouraged. I haven't had a Vette that didn't wave back yet but I don't wave at Mustangs.
I don't have anything against Mustangs but there are so many my arm would be sore and I try to keep two hands on the wheel!
I think one of the pleasure and fun of owning a Vette is the wave.
To be able to own a car that has been produced in the USA for 60 years, in the same format, 2 doors , a V8 mostly , great stlye is very rewarding .
I was hooked from the first time I watched Route 66.
The show was 2 men who traveled route 66 seeking adventure and saving the world
It featured Martin Melnor from a cop show Adam 12 later in his carreer
and George Maharris
The had a 60 or 62 vette. as their ride.
It was a 1 hour chev corvette commercial.
Golle it and see .
You must be young to not know this
how about that gawd awful 80's show,stingray,with nick mancuso !!!we might just as well face it colin......alot of us are firmly entrenched in geezerhood.

Being old beats the other options.......
I understand your reasoning but the mustang is "arguably" the iconic muscle car.... how about a compromise...wave only to the Shelbys and Boss 302's ???
