You do have the best of both worlds. I also have a C4 and C5 and they are both super cars. I'm not a C5 snob either, just like nice cars. My C4 is the newest of my group and I love it. Got it in February and can't wait to get out with the top down.

Good luck with your newest!

I've seen you in C5 gen asking about this car yesterday- congrats!!

I got my C5 last month- 98' with lots of little things to do (kinda like Fritzes Marco) but hell of a price. (doing the rocking seat fix and new leather just arrived. First time tackling something like this, it's actually pretty easy thanks to this place).

I agree, the power is huge over the LT1- of course, it's a 6 spd and the C4 is an Auto vert.

If you're planning on lowering and upgrading that god awful suspension, I can give you some tips and with about $600, it will handle better than a C5Z.
