I have one of both. As mentioned in prior posts the C4 is so much more advanced than a C3. The C4 you climb in and wear the car. One of the best handling cars still on the road today. The C3 has its looks and remember a C3 is pretty much a C2 chassis with a hot looking dress on it! Lets face it...technology from 1961 to the early 80's improved dramatically and so have the cars. All Corvettes are amazing cars and were always advanced for its time. I will say in the looks dept the C3 gets a ton more looks. Im a bit biased since I love the smell of raw fuel pouring into a carb and all the fun sounds that my C3 makes. Cant beat a 454 4 speed Vette! The 88 is still an amazing car for its time too...another 10-15 yrs and that car will get a ton of compliments as well! All Corvettes will always have that classic timeless look as they design and style the car from its history.
