Default My "new" Vette
I had an '84 Vette a few years ago. I just got a 2004 leMans edition convertible. When I get it all prettied up I'll post pictures. It's fun to have a Vette again!

Welcome and enjoy the new Vette. I had a C4 as well and the C5 just defeats the C4 in all categories.

Yes performance wise the C5 hands down over the C4. But having owned both (C4 vert auto/C5 vert 6 speed and now a C5 Z06) I can tell you the one thing that I liked better in the C4 was the way you felt like you were in a cockpit when sitting in the drivers seat of the C4. I believe GM carried that forward in the C7 as the C7 has the cockpit feel when in the drivers seat. JMO
