Why a C4 for you?

Wanted a C5 but I'm still paying on my '08 Ultra Classic. The boss says either limit to what I can get a C4 for or no vette. Glad it happened the way it did because I love my '95. I've driven C5 and C6 and they will both run cirlces around me, but they don't have that fighter cockpit feel. When you slide into the cockpit of a C4 it just wraps its lovin arms around you and says "let's go have some fun". I've never been in any other auto that did that for me.

I've been into C2s for over 30 years. After a time it has seemed like a divide grew between the older Corvettes (C1/2/3) and the newer generations (C4/5/6). I wanted to try one of the newer Corvettes and was impressed by the LT5 so I added a 95 ZR-1 to be a stable mate to my 67 435HP coupe.

Bought it because of the low price and wanted to see if I like driving a vette before spending more money on a newer one. To my surprise I like my 93 way more than I thought I would so I'm still driving it.

You guys will hate me for life if I ever get a 63 coupe.
I would if I ever get the cash to buy one.

I bought my C4 because it's one awesome car. I would ride in my dad's c3s, c4s, c5s and his past c6. I liked them all, so I knew I had to get me one. Plus the c4-looks good, has a targa top, and accelerates fast.

Wanted a C3 or early 70's Monte Carlo SS for a father/son project, then decided I wanted something handled well enough to put on the track. Decided to pursue a "newer" Vette and just couldn't seem to find a C5 in decent shape for under $5,000.

All it took for me was one test drive. I have never felt so connected when driving a car as my 94 c4. The cockpit feel is like no other.
Loved these vette's growing up. Graduated from high school in 95, salways wanted one.
Never knew they were so affordable until I started looking.
Love the LT1.
Clamshell hood.
My 94 has 30,000 miles and is seriously like brand new. Could not pass it up. Need I say more?
C2 vette's are amazing but out of my price range at this point.

It's the main vette body that I grew up with. So it is the dream car. The values are such that good performance can be had without breaking he bank. I don't see many clean C4s around.
It's great fun to drive.
