Default C4--> c5z!

Hi all,


Finally found a car and made the purchase! 2002 Z06 with 47K on the clock.


This is my second vette, first being a 1991 Z07 that I have had for the last 7ish years. I am extremely impressed with the car already and can't wait to really drive the car and learn more about it. The difference between my C4 and this car is unreal. I will be DDing. I'll get some more pictures once the car is all set with the DMV. This will have to do for now (dirty from rain).

-Kevin

Your title states that the C4 is greater than the C5Z as I understand it. I do not believe that was the intent. Just wanted to point that out for those that are confused like me.

Having owned a 91 conv and 92 ZR1 the C5Z is amazing. Congrats on the car.

Heh. I had a fun little C4 back in the day:



She had a mild 383 and was crazy fun. The C5Z is a whole different level of performance, however...

I took it as he went from a C4 to a C5Z, not that a C4 is better than a C5Z (notice the 2 dashes in front of the > sign).

Nailed it. It was more of an arrow, sorry about that. Thanks
