I love both models. i even like the early c4's. when i was first looking for a vette, i was looking at both models, but eventually i bought the 81 for the looks. but loved the c4 for it's handling and modernism (if that's a word). i'm now 17 y/o and have had my 81 for two years, and it's been daily driven 7 days a week. i will never part with it, being my first car. since i will be heading to college at the end of this year (in l-ville), i'm definitly not taking my 81(2 scared what might happen to it...theft being the worst). so i've decided to look at c4's once again. i believe an 84-85 would make a great college car...although right now i'm looking to buy a nice '90 with a 96 conversion and greenwood aero pkg. very nice looking car and in no way resembles a firebird :lol: plus owner says it gets high 20's to low 30's mpg :eek: something a c3 just doesn't offer...and being young and 5'11", it doesn't hurt me to climb in and out of these cars (although i'm sure it will catch up to me soon enough :D )

Keep on speaking your mind, I owned a 84 (ok not the best C4) and it was quick and good handling, but I found the styling uninspiring. That doesnt change the fact that a C4 is a damn fine car, just like the C5. If they dont appeal to me, thats fine.

As for somehow the C3 forum being able to hold the high ground in a moral debate about the virtues of one generation to the next - we cant - everynow and again you will see C4 or 5 bashing here, but then again you have to define bashing.

So pay no attention to us :lol: we are just as defensive about our cars as the other generations owners are of theirs.
