Dark Side
I am sorry to say this, but, I have gone to the dark side. I have traded my 86 Black coupe in on a 00 Nassau Blue Coupe with all the bells and whistles. I loved my C4 and will miss it terribly. I felt it was time to move on with what my plans are. It would have cost way too much for me to get my car where I wanted it. I can start out a better place with the LS1 Platform. I would like to thank all of you for the help information tha you have passed on. I consider you guys my family. I will still lurk in the C4 section as this is kinda like home.

I'm leaning toward the MN6 with magnetic ride in her car. But no bull, she told me she had been pricing Z51s and Acura NSXs. Devon told me she had been checking out Z06s. I don't know my own daughter.
