As far as the C4 being good looking from every angle, that is in the eye of the beholder. Too me, the C4 is the worst looking corvette made (getting my flame retardent suit on now). It always appeared to be to boxy to me, especially the early years. The only feature on it I liked was the clamshell hood. I don't hate the C4, and some great things came from them (enginerring wise, big jump over previous generations). But, just did not look appealing to me. But again that is me. I am a guy who loves the soft lines, and big curves (like my cars like my ladies, good curves). All time best looking is the C3 in my opinnion, then the C5. Mid-years next, followed by the C1, then the C6, and then the C4. But this is my opinnion.
