C5 prefrence

[bucket]

in the C4 world most agree that the 96 is THE ONE..
is there a THE ONE year model for C5's..
im have all talked myself into trading up and i want to be armed and dangerous when i go hunting..
thanx
b:cool

I don't think that the '96 is the 'one' C4. I think the best C5 is the 2004 special one with the dark blue/shale combo.

If there is a 'one' C4 for me it would be a 1995 ZR-1 Admiral Blue/gray.

I think that the one that "Trips your trigger" is the one you should buy. Typically, people will tell you to buy the newest, lowest mile car you can afford. Good luck with you search. BTW, I just did what you are contemplating, In May I traded my 94 for an 01.

The best is the 2000 (because I have one)!!

the 96 C4 was semi voted the best because of tech stuff not personal preference..lol
is there a mechanical advantage to any particular year of C5.?

Yes, there are things about the C4 I liked. And you hit one of them...the seats in the 94 seemed to be much more supportive. Not that the seats in the 01 are uncomfortable, they are nice, just not the same as the sport seats in the 94. Then we have the "big butt", I'm getting used to it, and I love the results of the big butt. So much more space to pack. We are on vacation right now and the amount of things that we are able to take is substantially different. The power it produces is so much more than the LT1. I'm not sorry that I made the move.

The 04 because that's the best a C5 can be! It's the last one.

The seemingly overly wide and tall rear end on the C5. JA has a perfect picture of a "big butt" (nothing personal here )

Compared to the trim and very sexy C4. (my old 94, again nothing personal :L)

I couldn't say it better than this gentleman has. Althought, I'd love to have ANY ZR1.
