Just got done detailing a customer of mines 02 C5 and placed it next to my 85. 22 years is a lot of time. Still like mine better though.

Just thought I should get my wifes in there too. Not a Vette but she loves this car.

My wife has hinted that i can buy a 50th annaversary edition for my 50th birthday. I've been looking and I don't like anything better than my 92. It would be nice to have the extra hp of the Z06 but then I loose the space under the hatch and I think the C5's are more a car than a vette.... Looks like I'm staying with the 92, might try to find one in better shape and less miles though..... I ireally like the 92, LT-1 plus a glove box.... and it's gotta be blue!!!

Yeah I like the C5 becuase of my height, but when I am driving my 85 it feels like a sports car. The C5 is like a two door caddy.

What a difference 22 years makes! It's all incremental tho, and it's all Corvettes. So how can that be bad! Frankly, they both look good. But the tiny, tiny, edge goes to...................your C4...

looks good to me it seems the c6 shares more similarities with the c4 compared to the c5... even just a c4 next to a c6 looks better than next to a c5

Damn its so shiny I can't see it. But I'm quite disappointed to find your water heater doesn't have a coat of Zaino on it.

compare 2nd pic, C4 looks like a fighter jet nose and C5 looks commercial liner. Not mention a C5 z06 owner got jealous of my C4 and my C4 is not a garage queen.

Both cars look great! I'm a fan of just about any of the Corvettes... C1-C6. I'd drive any of 'em.

There isn't a Corvette made I don't love somehow, but in the big picture I like your C4 head over heels above the C5. Your car is awesome.
