Default When did people start looking down upon C4s?

I'm sure some of you have owned a C4 for numerous years and can answer this. If other bits about general population consensus of Corvettes and thoughts on Corvettes from Corvette and car people would be neat to hear about too. I'm still young so it was before my time, but I've heard about how C3s were just looked at as drivers and not classic Vettes not too long ago, and how in the 70s C1s and C2s could be had on the cheap and were even avoided some cause of gas mileage.

When they made a C5. And then the C6ers looked down upon the C5s. I don't know which is worse, owning a C4 or a Yugo.

Seriously....the only time I have ever heard of anyone looking down on a C4 is "when I read the C4 section of the forum".

People need to stop posting these stupid threads!!!

Then why do you keep it? Sell it to someone who will appreciate it.

These forums are the only anti C4 place I've really encountered.

Everyone that says anything about my car says overly good things and wants to ride in it. Most random people are just going to walk by instead of saying they don't like your car.

I don't really care all that much about opinions on my car. If I was selling it then maybe I might.

I do appreciate them. I don't really give a $#!+ what anybody else has to say about C4s. I like em. That's all that matters. The Yugo comment was just a T-Bone.

You're correct. Most of these type threads are screwball C4 haters and just like to post nonsense to stir the pot. They claim to own a C4 but do nothing but bash and complain about it. I guess they have nothing else to do but try to make others as miserable as they are.

I do not post on the site very often, mostly because I do not have nearly the knowledge of everyone else, but I do constantly browse the threads. I too have been noticing a large number of trolls on the forum the last few weeks. I love learning about these cars and also the general banter that goes on in the threads but man the number of trolls is getting crazy! To all the serious members, keep up the good work! Also, IBTL

There is one model of a Sports Car made by Chevrolet. Corvette.

Those that subdivide and then hate on any class have only their tiny member to blame.

So remember kids, C4 haters have tiny weenies.
