What Greg said! Those seats look damn good! I'm with you on the red guts, in certain cars it's not too bad, but the Vette red was indeed a bit bright. Ok-ish on a red car though.

Good idea. I will add that to my list.

My sister dated a guy that drove one identical to that. Love that color on those cars.

I can't believe LT4s are that cheap! Love that Dove Grey interior too.

It was going to take a LOT to make me sell my firebird, but that C4 has done it. I haven't liked a car this much in a long time.

When I was 14, my mom got a red '94 with the red/black interior. I love it, but I can see how it would be a bit...gaudy, for some.

Yeah, honestly I'd take an LT4 C4 over an LS1 C5. Makes no sense, but that's my crazy personal preference.

The C4 gives you more of the fighter pilot feel. The only car I have ever driven that could compare was a 93 300zx. I like the C5, but I like the C4 more.

Exactly. In my opinion the C4 was the last of the street-fighter, beat you up, unapologetic Corvettes. The C5 is a MUCH better car overall, but it isn't raw like the C4. My mom actually also had an '01 a few years ago as well, Z51/6spd car.

I think the tax rates are a bit different. I lose 40% every pay check.

We might be able to work out a deal for 50% ownership of your car.
