thanks for the responses guys. Believe it or not, I havent driven it much at all considering I still have insurance, registration, inspection, and title to do. BUT the biggest difference to me is the acceleration. These 300 horses sure have some get up. It is also super different getting in and out of the car. When it warms up Im going to take some pics of it out in the sun and do some paint resurrection.
So question number one, where are the paint codes located?
Sometimes it looks teal, other times it looks blue!

The C4 seats are the best ever but it is fall in climb out until you learn to enter butt first then swing you legs in, and reverse this to exit.
You've got the C3 & C4, I'm thinking next year you'll be posting about your C5.

Nice car. Now time to get used to taking a C4 apart. 
My favorite standard C4 is the 91. newer interior and exterior but with the L98. Not a fan of the optispark. But that's just me. But then again I have a ZR-1 and have to take the plenum off to change plug wires. Go figure.

Congrats and welcome to the C3/C4 owners club!! I have one of each as well. Needless to say they both have their own characteristics that we could ramble on about. I love both of them. My C3 is getting a frame on resto so my C4 has been driven quite a bit this year. Good luck with both of them. The C4 looks great!

The nighttime cockpit is definitely one of my favorite parts of my ZR-1. It's got a great look and feel when all of the instruments and controls are illuminated. I also like the 90-91 backlit seat controls, which unfortunately were not backlit in later years.

I've only driven a C3 once about 25 years or so ago.

L98 people just focus on the optispark and seem to overlook a lot of other more difficult stuff.

Ok ran the codes and figured out all of them with the exception of B3E, which i think has something to do with the build date etc.
Also the color of this car is NOT quasar blue, but is actually 43U Bright Aqua Metallic.
Funny because the factory color of my 75 coupe is Bright Green Metallic
