Default The C4

i own a c-5......love it.and wouldnt trade it for anything. im really feeling the c-4 though! i always thought that the c4 was and still is an extremely great looking/great performing machine. i would love to purchase one,as im still in love with it and im looking at something early 90's and just wanted folks to know on the c4 gen discussion that c4s are really gonna go down in history as "one of the greatest machines ever". its the Vette that stirs the c5 and c6....see ya and wave

I love my C4 but it seems to me that the C4 gets little respect in general. There is the large segment of peole that believe that only the older vettes are worth having. Then there are those that believe that the C5/C6 are the all that. I've been looking at a few websites for diecast corvettes and they reflect the same thing. You can buy a lot of different diecast C1, C2, C3, C5 and even the C6 is showing up. Just try and find any selection of C4s and the story changes, there aren't many to choose from.

That because you can't fit the legend of the C4 in such a small package.

It's not old enought to have "classic" status, nor new enough to be the "latest and greatest"....it's stuck in the middle.

A super clean C4 still turns heads like no other.
Keep em clean and running strong with mods, that's what I say.

I know that my car is looking. That's one reason that I bought it.

I know that my car is to drive. That's another reason that I bought it.

I can't help it if those in the "outside world" don't give it the respect that its due.

I mean "sh*t" just look at this car ........ it is the epitome of cool.
