I used to not like the c4's as I always wanted a c3. but after seeing the one i bought and driving it I fell in love with it. The only thing I dont like is the hump in the door area you have to climb over to get in. Everyone that sees mine likes it.

It's not entirely dissimilar to college girls getting in my house - they have to climb over my "hump" at the door for admission.

c4s are boring compared to other styles. it may be classy or however you want to justify the looks, but there isn't much going on. and as your saying most of these people don't have vettes, so they base their opinion on looks, not experience. as for the "most ppl" part of it, I think you're mistaken. most people don't hate c4s.

Most people who make a comment like that probably haven't driven the car.

I was shopping around for a cheap C4 "fixer upper" and actually looked at a few before I found my C3 in the local paper for $2500.....I bargained down to $2200 and drove it home. I'm happy with my purchase.
If it wasn't for that I would be owning a C4 right now and will still have one after I finish my C3.

I was all set on buying a C6 vert. I did all the reseach and on the c6 forum everynight. Did not think there was a better looking vette out there until I came across the ZR1. That changed everthing now I own a beautiful 95 blk/blk Z and could not be happier. My freinds don't understand why I would buy a 10 yr. old car until they get in it for the ride of their life.

Having said that, I've never run into any "haters" at all...I get nothing but compliments.

I have always been hooked on the C4 body style particurly the 91-96 rounder style front and rear bumpers and i love the LT-1 power plant. I have always thought that it is the most beautiful vette made and i still think this. I have always wanted one of my own since i was a sophomore in highschool and my sisters current BF got a brand new polo green/tan interior 6speed coupe in 95. I have always loved the look but it took one test drive a year ago to get me hooked on it and thats when i started shopping.
If people dont like it say its too 80's looking thats their own problem I have never been one to care what people think. I bought the car for me and no one else. By the way I have yet to hear a girl say anything bad about the C4 they always want a ride in it.

I love my 89. So does Paris!!
I like the fact that I can tell them I only have 250 hp and race a brand new car with 300 "torqueless" hp and absolutely rip them from stoplight to stoplight, from the tree to the end of the track. Bye bye 350Z!
There was one here at the 1/8th mile track today who couldn't break his best ET/mph of 9.70 @ 78. I thought those cars are fast, but 99% of the time it is just the lack of torque
