That would date that pic to around 53 when the first Vette was released... Funny, the Bonneville name sat in limbo for at least 5 years. Makes you wonder how long other names have been floating around GM....

I'm a bumper fog fan. They say, I'm not ordinary... every car has fogs underneath these days.

Funny you should say that, I have both sitting at home.

I love the white torque stars. I would buy those in a second for mine if I had the cash to. I also like the looks of black with black rims. Basically Haro'* 95 with black rims and GTS covers. Black as it gets.

96-99 without a doubt! start a poll...really. i would actually buy another 96-99 if the interiors were designed a little better. mine shook and jittered quite a bit...fit and finish were not what i expected. door panels and speaker grills would pop off...and the instrument cluster was definitely a little 1 dimensional. but i LOVE the look of the 96-99 better than any other year...including the GXP. these earlier year bonnies had a very unique look to them. i like how they look level...whereas the 2000+ look like the hind end is backed up a little like a wedge. anyway, i'll probably get one...but i definitely like the 96-99 best....hands down.

94 SSEi, 2003 SSEi, 97SSEi

I'd pick the 03 SSEi black on black over the others then behind that would be the 94 red on red, then the 97 Special edition on ghetto golds.

04/05 GXP hands down

Had one behind me today on my way to work. I love the clean lines, no cladding, simple clean foglights, 18" rims and when you look head on (ie in the rear view mirror if driving in front) the car has a very Sharp edge above the front tires, while being sensual.

Fantastic car, and my favourite.

2nd, 92-95

3rd 2000+

Well, if we're talking strictly about body style....first would be a GXP in pearl white with chrome rims, hands down. Next would be a white/silver/black/or that nice blue of Haro'* 2000+ SSEi. Followed by either a bright red or black 92-95 SSEi with chrome Tstars (dear God someone sell me chrome Tstars, well, when I can afford it :P).

If mechanical/powertrain is taken into consideration, it would be a 93-95 SSEi, followed by a 2000+ SSEi, with a GXP bringing up the rear (what can I say? I love boost :P)
