Default Why?

Why is it that a C4 is so much better than a C6?

(just kidding guys, have a great 2009!)

I can still remember when the C4 first came out. I was actively autocrossing back then. The first year had that funky cross-fire injection, but in 85 came with the TPI and was a great car! Then they added anti-lock brakes in 86 and those C4's were unbeatable in autocrosses. SCCA actually had to add a new class because of the new Vette (SS Class).

I have to admit, there is not a Corvette that I do not like!

P.S. I see the Papago Buttes in your Avatar. I'm going to be playing the "new" Papago golf course this coming Tuesday, I hope it's still a great course!

My very first Corvette (other than the many weeks in a row that I got to spend in my stepfather's C3 back in high school of course ) was a C4, a '95 Competition Yellow LT1, great car.
