[VIDEO] Doug DeMuro Ranks Every Generation of Corvette

It’s all in good fun, but the latest episode of Doug DeMuro’s “This Car Pod With Doug DeMuro & Friends!” is sure to be controversial among the readers of this site.

A viewer writes in to Doug and asks him to rank the Corvettes by generation, a seemingly easy task, but have you ever tried to do it? As Doug puts it, “some things that were desirable in the ’50s ain’t desirable today.”

Doug & Friends never really seem to come to a mutual agreement on the actual ranking, but their lively discussion does stir the pot and got us thinking how we would rate the generations ourselves.

Doug quickly affirms that the C2 generation from 1963-67 should be #1 – “C2 is the car!” he exclaims with a huge smile on his face.

He then somewhat blushingly says the C8 would be his next pick, but one of his buddies disagrees because there’s no manual transmission offered, even admitting he wants to experience the beleaguered C4 with the much-maligned Doug Nash 4+3.

Doug then rates the C3 last, but again his buddy argues that the C4 should have that dubious distinction, prompting Doug to say something “controversial.”

“C4.1 is last,” he claims, “C3 is second to last, C4.2 is better. The ’96 Grand Sport is one of the coolest Corvettes ever built, but any late C4 is a great Corvette.” His friend asserts they must take the generations as a whole, which leads to Doug’s sheepish assertion that he would still rather have a late C4 than a C5, C6, or maybe even a C1.

Check out the entire video for more “sure-to-rile-up-us-old-Corvette-guys” talk as the guys continue their seven-minute discussion.

So, what does your ranking look like from top to bottom?
