Pulled the trigger
Just want to introduce myself the the C4 forum. I just bought a 96 A4 coupe, white with saddle interior. It has 35K on the odo and was owned by a county prosecutor. I'm looking forward to doing some mods.
I chose the C4 over a nice C5. No flames here, just a personal preference.
I also have a 79 white/black that let's just say is not NCRS but a blast to drive!
I know the C4 will be a blast as well!

Again, no flames against the C5. I did drive both the C4 and C5. To me, the C4 has more of a sports car feel. The cockpit, seats, clam shell front end, the refined rawness of power and the visceral seat of the pants launch led me to the decision. I could upgrade the heads, rockers, exhaust and achieve 360-380rwtq without breaking the bank. The C5 is a very refined car. All the upgrades that were made between models gave the car a different feel. More luxury, good power, decent handling.
I enjoy Corvettes whatever the model. For my money and preference I just love the C4.

I love the interior of the later model C4s. Wife has a C6 & I think the interior is crap.
