That's exactly what I was saying. We all love Corvettes, but why pick and 85 as a dream car, other than the 84, it was the most anemic of the C4s. Hey, if that's your dream car, fine. Then to compare it to some of the greatest cars built in 1985 was a little strange to me. Really, 1985 230 HP L98 Corvette compared to a Lambo Countach?

Reality check time;

I stated why the 85 is a great car to own with proven facts. I never said it was better than any other year of C4. How do you get that? They all got better as they progressed. Common sense. Some here get kicks out of bashing early C4's bcause they have a later year C4. Big deal. It just shows their level of maturity.

Really, where do you get any early C4 bashing? I never said it was a bad car, I only questioned your comparisons and incorrect facts. I love all C4s, don't see any bashing going on here.

Me thinks you're taking this a little too personal.
