    Good luck.

    Wait 'til the instrument cluster goes out and the seats don't work and many many other things go wrong.

    Wait till power steering goes out and you can't find a pulley for it. I'll never own a c4 after dealing with my uncles.

    personally i find them very comparable to the firebird/camaro of that time. the vette only had 30 more hp in '87 and it looks sooooo much like a firebird. it isn't a true vette

    700r4's aren't terribad, but if beaten and abused, then yeah, they're gonna go.

    C4's are fun. We've got an 85 with a little bit done to it...

    Though they will eat you out of house and home on gas and insurance. Also, C5 rims rock.

    IMO, get a C5. Better gas mileage, and actually meant to be driven, and aren't death traps.
