I have back problems that make it hard getting in and out of a C4 so my wife suggested us getting a C5.
How old are you?

I am 27 and was experiencing them too. Had an MRI. Then a surgery. Now I feel great.

MY back looked pretty much just like this:



The surgery wasn't bad at all. I enjoyed the time off from work actually...haha.

Hope your back feels better so you can go back to a C4. I like the 95 TR ZR-1 idea.

Thx, Big Bro.
Eran,

This is probably more familiar than the C4 in my Avitar.

Les,
Did not know you guys also had a C4. That is one beautiful 40th. At one time we were looking for a Ruby, but found the '94 and bought it from Doug instead. Dreamed about having a Ruby ZR1 once, but when the guy told me the price I woke up!
Hope to see you guys at Eureka Springs if not before.

Was answering an e-mail today and was looking for an attachment when I opened a folder with our C4 Key West Trip photos. Spent a long time looking at them and am now wondering why in the creation did we sell our C4. I know she has a good home, but dang, she was and is one awesome 1994 Torch Red over Torch Red & Black Coupe! Forgot all about the e-mail and started scheming on how I could talk my wife into getting another C4!

That's a phrase I've heard before " why did I sell my C4". The C5s and C6s are beautiful cars but there is just something a C4 that's hard to get away from. The way the car feels when I'm driving and the way it makes me feel like there is some kind of connection that I never had with any other car I've owned. When I bought mine it was just to see if I really like driving a vette before spending more money on a a newer one, well two years later I'm still driving it. I may still buy a newer one but I don't think selling my C4 is a option. Your C6 is a gorgeous enjoy.

Then you should keep in mind that a 95 ZR-1 (of any color) is even more expensive than a Ruby 93 ZR-1 (assuming equal condition).

Both good looking cars.

After a few years now, what are your opinions? Staying with the C6 or thinking about another C4?

I am biased. I have had at least one C4 for over 25 years and really like them. I have a couple of C5's now, but I wanted a C4 LT1 6 speed so I got a '95 for Christmas. Do you have similar thoughts of adding a C4 again?

Default 94 Conv w/23000 miles

That is a nice C6, I am getting better at entry and exit on my C4! It would help if I lost a few pounds.

Default Would Buy My C4 Back In A Heartbeat

I just built a new Mueller Building for our C6 and have plenty of room for a C4. I would buy my C4 back from my Sister-In- Law in a heartbeat if my Wife would let me. She says I just spent a lot of money for My Corvette Man Cave so I should be satisfied. But we all know I am not, and will not be until I get my way. Wish Me Luck, lol.

Default She's Back!

Yep, we bought our C4 back after selling her 4 1/2 years ago. Kept seeing the add on carsonline.com and could not take the thought of her going to someone else. "Beauty" the 1994 Torch Red C4 is once again keeping "Beast" the 2005 Precision Red C6 company again. Oh how I have missed driving the C4, and yes I still love driving the C6 too!
