Oh, that thread is nothing compared to what they say about C4's in Off Topic.


But I'm sure you can guess how much I care... Yup, not at all!

When I first signed in, the C5 was on top and the evil step sister towards the C4.
Then came the C6. Within a few months the C5 guys where starting to feel less than desirable.
We here in C4 had the pleasure of watching them cry and pout as the C6 crew gave them a taste of their own treatment.

All kidding aside, WTF difference does it make which one you like?

Both in our club and in our weekly "hang out" group, if you drive a vette - any vette - you are family. But, when some people get "on-line" there seems to be an irresistible urge to get diarrhea of the mouth (fingers).

Over the years, I've owned 3 C-3s, 2 C-5s and, I currently have a C-6 and just recently got a C-4. Every time I drive it, I am amazed at how sophisticated the C-6 is. It's comfortable, it has plenty of power and, it handles super. But, sometimes, I fell like it's too sophisticated. It's an automatic with paddle shift. I absolutely love driving the C-4. It's a six speed and just feels more "manly" - like a sports car should feel.

I totally agree. I don't know why some people online feel the need to trash ANY generation of a corvette. Many people will never know what it's like to drive one of these vehicles, and i for one am greatful that i am fortunate enough to own one. America's only sportscar!

Count me in on that now too! I couldnt resist... The complete false fasts that were being thrown around were just rediculous!

With most LSx guys its ALWAYS "Oh.... you have an LTx... Oh... You cant make power with that..." Blah blah! Drives me nuts! HAHAH

LT1 300hp/340tq

LS1 350hp/365tq
^^^ LS1 Camaros and TA's 325hp

NOT THAT IMPRESSIVE for how they talk about them!

Interesting. I didn't see anyone actually trashing a C4. (maybe a couple childish remarks) I did however see some personal preferences that seemed normal and realistsic to me.

You could also really tell the Corvette/Car guys from the wantabes!

Now back to work!

you know what. Untill you take them to the track, they're all pretty equal in performance. And most of us never go to the track.

Way back when my car was still stock I raced several C5's. I don't ever remember loosing to one. Driver error I guess. I was running mid 13's at the time.
