I have both a heavily modified C4 and a C6 Z06..... I agree with what most are saying about the C4 ride....it gives you a better road feel for just driving around. (Provided your suspension has seen proper maintenance).... My Z06 will feel like that too, but only under pressure, for normal driving around town there is a small disconnect. The GM Engineers did a lot of things good on the C6.... but they did make the mistake on connecting the driver to the road the way a true sports car should in my opinion.

I personally think the market at some point in the future will see the light on C4's and the prices will start rising back-up.... there is maintenance on older cars like any older car, but nothing is very expensive in the scope of things when compared to modern vehicle fixes.

There are good buys for already done C4's if you keep your eyes open. You can get one that has been well maintained, hence the good ride, and also modified so that it runs with a C6 no problem.

Good luck with whatever you decide on.
