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. |

Not only were all C5 frc's 6 speed cars, they also all came with Z51 suspension and a power steering cooler. I looked at C4's long and hard before buying a '00 frc ... the deciding factor for me (which probably won't apply to your situation Mitch) was the rear suspension. C5s have true upper and lower control arms in the back ... in a C4 the half shaft acts as the upper control arm ... blow a u-joint on a half shaft and your tire falls over sideways.
I bought mine 2 years ago with 50K miles for $17K. Mid/low teen deals are out there if you look hard enough. As a driver, the early C4 seats are pretty tight for a big guy (which I am). A colleague bought my C5 seats to put in his C4 specifically because his wife's ample rear wouldn't fit in the C4 seat. And just for fun, the current state of my C5: (IMG:http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/gonefootn/IMG_4517.jpg) |
