came across this last night at a cruise night, I have never been much of a C4 guy myself but my wife loved it.
Car was a NAO car and then sold to the guy I bought it from.
69k miles, A4, Corsa exhaust, ZR1 wheels, new tires, slotted rotors, open air box w K&N, MSD Opti, new Bilstiens, Granatelli MAF B&M shift enhancer ect.
Came w a 52mm BBK TB new in the box w all gaskets & bypass kit which I am not sure I will install.
Car is pretty much mint except for a scratch or two and some drivers seat bolster wear. I have the window sticker, build sheet ect
It dyno'd 280rwhp.
Going to let the wife enjoy it
Best part of the story is the guy I got it from had the car tattoo'd on his arm w the vanity plate "1 Bad C4" lol
oh and the price was more than right

Congrats on the great looking car. It's beautiful! I'm sure your wife will enjoy it. My husband loves Vettes, but wasn't really looking at C4s when we were looking to get one. I liked the style, though, and they are definitely priced right. After thinking about it, we ended up going with a C4. These cars have definitely grown on him and he's more than happy. We've got two C4 Vettes now.

Nice! Those polished wheels look great, and is that Corsa exhaust that I see?
