I use to live in Hilliard with my mom when I was in elementary/middle school. Also with my sister / friends when I was 19! I love love love the C5/C6. I am getting so blood thirsty for a vette I am starting to come around on the C4 and I use to hate them the most! Would love a C6 but that is a little out of the price range I think so I will likely have to settle with a C5 which is always fine with me. Would prefer a manual but an automatic would be nice so when I go out with friends etc and drink the wife can drive. Would prefer a FRC or the removable glass top. As far as colors I love the white probably the most, black looks good if it can be kept clean, orange is alright like the C6 atomic orange better, preferably no red, and love love love the rare purple!

Yup that's the one! I wish the C4 was as refined as the C5, but then I wish the C5 was as refined as the C6.

Welcome to the forum. The C4 is a lot of fun to drive and is relatively inexpensive. Go test drive a couple in the '92 to '96 range.

Yep..(LT1) Picked up our first "92" a couple of months ago. Wife wanted something other than just having a Tahoe.. but she's kinda getting attached to my Chrysler Crossfire and I'm driving the vette.. LOL. AC issues per say... Only downside I'm having is dealing with previous owners "better ideas".. LOL.
