Have to say the 93's look really smooth. The 96 is the last year so I like it too.

96 Grand Sport. I also like any of the C4 ZR1s and Callaways. Also the Shinoda C4s. Aww crap, I just love all Corvettes.

85.

1. Because I own one.
2. First year for TPI.
3. No ABS (makes it more classic muscle car to me)
4. No third brakelight.

Any of the round tail lights.
I just can't wrap my head around how the people that designed such beautiful lines on such a beautiful car could drop square lights in the back end. The rest of the later year c4's are drop dead gorgeous, I just can't do the square chunks in the bumper.

My 35th Anniversary because it is the "Black Sheep" of the C4 series. Odd parts!! Almost as bad as an 84. But I love it and will never sell.

I love the 1990 ZR1 still has the 84-89 front bumper/style for the most part.

I have to agree with the above. The 1988 sledgehammer!!!!!! Very underated no one remembers it or even know what it is. 254.7 mph with power seats, A/C , radio , emissions and all the creature comforts a regular car got. To bad it wasn't in production. I would love a twin turbo L98.

My favorite is the 93. I prefer the later model C4.
I like the style seats that come in the 93 compared to 94-96. I really like the 40th stitching in the seats. I also prefer the rap around dash with black buttons. I do wish the buttons had white lettering, not orange.
Oh, and I also own one....
