Well Ive owned my 1996 C4 for 6 years. Its been a great car.
I have some people ask me if I will stay with the
C4 or get into a newer Vette like a 2002 C5. I guess a C5
would be easier to enter and exit other than that the C4
does everything I need. Anyone here think about getting a
newer C5 or C6, or are you still happy with your C4?

Nope, like my C4. But if I win the Powerball, a new Grand Sport or ZR1 would like nice parked next to it.

Hi all;
Apart from the earlier classic Corvettes of the C2 generation, I have to say the C4 is my absolute favourite. It looks like a Corvette with the more refined and sleek body compared to the C3 cars and certainly, in my opinion, better looking than the later C5/C6 models.
I think that the C4 will remain a highly desirable body design among Corvette lovers.

Nope, no desire to change here. Besides, I enjoy actually getting greasy working on them. The new motors are covered in plastic!
You can't even see the filth. Too technical for an old grease hound like me.
C4master, your profile says you own 1969, 1996, 2009. What do you think of the 2009? How does it drive? I've never driven one so I'm curious.

The C6 is nice on longer drives and there is more interior
room. The C4 is a tighter fit. Easier to enter and exit in the
C6 also.

I can't see me letting my '96 go---I've looked at other generations and driven many---my first love as a high school kid was a neighbors ''67 427/435 blue Vette. I love the C3 Mako body style. The brother in law has a '04 C5--great car!! Had a chance a few months to get in a C6 ZO6 which was modded for the track at VIR---what a AWESOME car
Overall as far as driveability/performance and fuel economy I like fuel injection over carbs.... That said I've recently looked at 2 different C3s should the right one come along---who knows??? In a perfect world I'd own a Vette for every day of the week

A C5 Z06? I would drop the C4 in a heartbeat for a well taken care of one.

Before I bought my C4 last August, I was lookiing hard for a C5. After really thinking about it and considering the difference in price, I decided on the C4. The car had 7600 miles on it when I bought it and I agree with you, it does everything I want it to do and does it well. The only issue I have with the car is I would love to talk to the guy who decided that putting the parking brake on the door side of the drivers seat. He must have had a brain cramp that day.

Vette(s): 1987 T5 5 speed ,cast iron head motor (no history on this) Z-51 Bright red with gray leather interior Greenwood spoiler,Corvette Central muffler eliminators and American Racing 16" Gotti replicas.
I love our '87 C4 it's a classic! It's like driving a big go kart. The looks are so much better than C6 in my opinion. Somehow the C6 rear quarter looks too short for the car. If we found the right C5...maybe some day I could be persuaded but a C4 ZR-1 would be first in the stable.

Vette(s): 87 Red Coupe, not as pretty, had 213G miles, great running engine; got 20-21 around town, 27-28 on hwy; I got to drive a Vette, every day for 6 yrs. It was my first; so now I know what the fuss is all about. (Sold it 2015 for $3000, still ran great.)
It just goes to show ya, all Corvettes must be pretty neat for all 6 generations to like themselves and each other so much. If you have any one of the Vette flavors, you are a lucky duck. My C4-87 is my first, and I love driving it every day, but I suspect that it would be nice to have a C5, someday. No hurry, though ....
