Test pic...first Vette
This was my first vette. I sold it in 2001 and bought a '99 Vette. Now I'm back to a '94. But you'll always remember your first vette.

Don't take that wrong... I am a C4 guy all the way... and not a big fan of C5s...

Drove my first one today and thought to myself the same thing. I usually fall down in my c4....well, when I went to do the ol c4 entry drop into a c5 i almost bounced into the salesmans lap.....lol

We too had a C5 and it had all the creature comforts of our Cad, was much easier to get in and out of than the C4, BUT it didn't have a "VETTE" feel...the Vette feel that we've enjoyed in our other Vettes for the past 30+ years. IMHO, it's a personal preference thing. Please click on our home page link for the rest of the story.

In a nut shell, I wasn't crazy about the style of the C5, I'm still not that crazy about it. The C4 has more character. And since it is a toy car, its much better to look at parked in the garage than the C5.
I'm glad I went back. My '94 Vert is much more solid than the '96 coupe was. And the both and about the same mileage.
