Since I traded my C4 for the C5. I had the 96 C4 for 4.5 years and have some very fond memories of that car.

Parked at the office:





At the neighborhood park:







I'm very lucky to have owned two such awesome cars!

I really do miss the C4 and wish I could have kept it.

However, I do love my current ride:

Trust me, I have no regrets trading up. I received a PM from a C4 guy asking for some pics of my car. It made me a realize the time since I had traded. I was also a bit flattered that folks here still remembered my C4.

Your C4 was a nice car - no doubt. But the C5 is so much better in so many ways. I never had any other Vette but the plain old black one I have now. Yep - you were lucky to have owned two nice Vettes!

I'm glad you're here, Larry!

We are fortunate enough to own a C4 and a C5. Personally, I would choose the C5 over the C4. Also had a 78 Silver Anniversary edition that I sold and kinda wish I still had that one also.

That was one sharp looking C4. But your C5 is a real beauty too.

I like the colors on both, but the C5 is light years ahead of the C4.

I share your sentiment 100% to the bone. It's been about a 1.5 years since I traded up from this LPE-cammed LT4 CE:





To this beautiful Machine Silver Z06:




No regrets whatsoever........but I do miss the C4 sometimes

I'm not a big fan of the C4, but your C5 is the bomb.
