Right!!!!
That has nothing to do with saying that C4 is not worth a disassemble. You don't say that only a C1, 2 or 3 is worthy of a disassemble, that is hate talking in itself. You should respect people and not call them an idiot. I cant voice my opinion and you can voice yours without the name calling, seriously man grow up.

They still get slapped around once in a while. another reason why the C4 gets slapped is because they're affordable to people who either couldn't afford one before or have finally decided the price was worth the fun. That just kills some of the rich boys because some of them think it's their birth right to have, and be able to afford, a vette. When your average joe can afford one, they take offense to it and trash those vettes.They don't trash the C3 anymore because they are now being recognized for what they are, a vette.
JMO but I could be persuaded differently.

Well I personally think it is from forum members who own a C4 and say that the C4 not worth disassembling in order to paint it. They can say that only C1, C2 and C3 Corvettes are only worthy of that. People that say this stuff makes other C4 owners and non-owners think differently bout their C4. I love my C4 and I just paid a lot of money to paint it properly. To say that a C4 is not worthy of a disassemble paint job is what you can consider "hate" and not people that start a thread who are curious why people would say these things. It hurts me to hear it to.
Love your C4 or get Honda.....

Your opinion is what matters, the same goes for me, so please don't let other people thoughts or opinions stir you up so much. life is much easier when you don't take the little things so serious, ESPECIALLY THE INTERNET.

I have the kids around the neighborhood yell out, "Nice car", or a thumbs up all the time. Kids do not care what year it is, all they care about is it is a Corvette. Thank goodness they are our future Corvette owners and fans

I really think before the internet there was no hate or bashing, goes along with before every car had AC there was more waving because windows were down. Far to easy for some clown to get on line and spew there worthless babble and hide behind the net

Nothings changed. Its still the 84 Crossfire. Even Ford owners know about it. Had one Ford guy ask me about the fires. (Yes they are suppose to go on fire. ) Not the 82s, only the 84s. Just go to any corvette show and tell them its a 84. Watch the expression on their faces. They hate the 84 the most. From falling out teeth, to electrical shorts, to the slowest Corvette ever built. This is the one they pick and poke at.

Until the c4 came out there was so such thing as a c1, 2, or 3 in print. Before then it was individual years to compare. The c4 changed the Vette into a different car altogether. No longer the horsepower to push a go-cart to suicide speeds to a refined sports car that used torque and suspension to create a world-class competitor.
Now even there is a breakdown of what c4 is better.

Stuffy C5 & C6 Owners
When I bought my 94 coupe, after being away from Corvettes for almost 20 years..I thought it was still like the "old days"...that Corvette owners looked upon all Corvettes as..."cool"
SURPRISE! there now seems to be a pecking order, depending on which model you drive. I found that most C5 and later C6 owners sort of looked down their noses on C4's...even if they had owned one before.
I guess it was because they had the newest, latest, "trendy" technology..and C4's were considered old hat. In some cases these guys had dropped more money into their engine modifications then my Corvette cost to buy.
Back in February, I bought a 2007 coupe..I still have the 94....so now I am accepted by the C5 & C6 owners
The difference is, I know where I came from..and still respect and like my 94....I just feel lucky enough to be able to experience both worlds.

I agree that all generations took their turns - I have a neighbor who is in his early 20's and constantly asks me when I'm selling him my C4 and doesn't care for my C3.
The C5's are starting to take a little hit in comparision to the C6 and when the C7 comes out, the C5's and C6's will be looked at differently by some.
To me they're all Corvettes. (When I get a good picture of them both, I will change the Avatar as I like both but for different reasons)
