Upgrade
Hello, I just recently upgraded from my 1994 c4 with 48k miles I owned for over eight years to a 2002 yellow rag top six speed and 25k miles. Can't believe I waited do long to make the switch. What a great car. With the Corsa exhaust you don't even need a radio. Good times!

Did you quit smoking Marbs, change out of your dirty wifebeater tank top, shave your goatee and have your mullet cut off too?
I kid, I kid.
Welcome to C5!! Enjoy the ride!

Welcome to the C5 group. I had a 86 for nine years but it had 145000 when I sold it. I am very happy with the differences between the C4 and the C5.
Enjoy

Welcome to the C5 club.
I skipped the C4, sold my C3 & went right to the C5. Best sports car I ever owned

welcome....so there is that big of a difference huh.....my BIL had a C4 and told me not to get a vert because his rattled and creaked so much. I never rode in a C4 so don't know first hand. But my C5 has none of the problems his did.

Welcome to the C-5 group. I just (last year) came up from a C-3. Wow, what a difference. You're going to love it. Good Luck.
