I hear ya loud and clear!
Sold my '92 almost 2 years ago to get a C5, sold the C5 to get...(flame suit on)...an '06 Mustang GT.... what I really miss is the C4...it was paid for, and it just had that raw, in your face feeling I didn't get with the C5, the cockpit feel, and the noisy ZF trans... needless to say I will be offering the GT for sale real soon, and next spring I'll be C4 hunting!
I learned the hard way that to have a "toy", it is better to be within your means, pay cash for it,and its yours, than to have 5 years of payments on something that is not used alot, or relied upon for transportation.
...I'll be back!!!

I had a white 92 and it was flooded in a storm 5/2007- Insurance paid well, I got a 1996 CE with the LT4 6 speed- I wouldn't have got anything else...- I considered it...BUT, Couldn't do it...looked and almost bought a GTI or an A3 but in the end after looking all over Texas found the 96 CE with the LT4 and am so glad that I did! I would have missed the whole
vette experience...even though my boy friend has a 03 Z06 that is awesome
, the C4 body style is my all time favorite...I do have to admit that is I ever found a speedway white C5 Z06 I might be tempted to indulge! 
I miss the 92 but I love the 96!

That's a good looking SS
I had a 99 Z28 with an SS hood, but I sold that and my 87 Turbo Buick to buy a Corvette. I don't really regret it although both my other cars were much faster. My Camaro went 11.7's at 120 and my Buick went 12.00 at 117. This Corvette probably will barely do high 13's or low 14's
It wasn't about the speed for me as much as it was about having a Corvette. I always wanted one and now I have one, and I'm happy.

Of course my car is usually broken down since it is a project car, but hey, I have no chance of getting a speeding ticket when it is not running! Long live the C4!!
