I would only use a little of the money to make sure the C4 is in good shape. (minor mods only)
Then use some of the rest for a second C4 with enough money still left to make sure it is in good shape too.
That is why my last two car purchases were a '95 6M and a '96 6M.
If money still remains, a little more modding (Headers, LE heads, little stronger cam, wheels/tires, etc.)
Good luck and have fun.

Tough choice. It'd be nice to have a ZR-1 beside my CE LT4. Or, I'd mod the CE. Simple mods. Lt4 hotcam, ARH longtubes, new B&B exhaust, coil overs, bigger sway bars, lighting mods, sound system, ported heads, ported intake, Fikse Profil 5S, DeWitts radiator and big brakes. Then fix whatever it needs, or could use.

I think the intent of your question is if it's a fiscal limit that makes you drive a c4. For me the answer is no. I just like the car.
If I had another 20k, I'd probably just pay off my 2012, and buy an STI for a daily. Or replace my colorado with a new ram laramie. Or put it against my house.

Not worth it to me to dump in more. If I was GIVEN 20 grand, I'd go newer and start modifications. Since I am 5'9 and don't often wear a helmet on a track, I'm good with it

I'd spend a good portion on some kind of coil over suspension to replace the stiff springs so I won't rattle my teeth on Colorado suburban roads. Then pay someone to get every speaker working and rebuild the steering column. Other than that the car is doing fine.

20k can go along way in collecting cars. Ive also seen some real nice original c4s for around 10k. If you want to go faster Id go newer, but that would eat all the 20 grand. A few mods also will eat a bunch of $$$$$.

No doubt, my c6 is nicer and faster and prettier and "better". But it isnt more fun. It wouldnt take 20k to make a c4 just about perfect as a drivers car.
