I too like the green, and the six speed. About a decade ago, I worked at a tire shop owned by a Corvette guy. All his Corvette buddies brought their cars to him. I got to drive everything from a C1 (modded) to a C5. I liked the C5 the least. It felt too much like a luxury car and not like a sports car. My favorite was a modded C3 set up for top end. Oddly enough it was an automatic, but it made all the right sounds, handling was tight, brakes were good, and it looked good.

Years later I worked in a shop owned by a 911 guy. I got to drive everything from the original 911 to the 997. I wasn't a Porsche fan before I worked there. Now I still appreciate a 'Vette, but I like a 911 even better. My favorite is the 78-83 911SC. It's not particularly fast in a straight line, but it's a great driving experience even if you're doing the speed limit. Downside is one of those is around three times the price of a good C4.
