Looking through Craiglist ads, I'm seeing C4s all over the spectrum.

Are 95 and 96 versions "special"?
What's the difference between a 96 and 96 Limited edition?
Could an LT4 be had in either?
Is there a code in the VIN or something that tells me its a real LT4?
Were there ANY that came with something other than porno red interior?

What year did the C4s begin getting an LT1? 92?

I am seeing 96 LEs @60K mile LT4/6spd cars in the low teens.
I am seeing 94 and under @100K mile LT1/Autos cars in the 6s and 7s

I am also seeing 98-00 FRCs in the low teens all in the 80-100K mile range with 6 speeds in the low to mid teens.

But I really like the way a C4 looks. Seems like everyone has a C5.

Not looking at a show car, just a driver.

I've owned a '96 LT4 Collector Edition Z51 and a '04 Z06.

They were both great cars and alot of fun. But in my opinion the C5 can't be beat by a C4. Better ergo and cockpit layout. C4s are a bit goofy in that you need to go over the frame rail to get in and out. It didn't bug me but friends that rode would comment on it and it was always exciting to see Liz get in and out of it in a short skirt.... Better engine in the C5 too. Even as a Z51 car my C4 was too soft for me suspension wise but that is more a matter of taste I guess.
