My Corvette(s):
1987 Z51 Silver Coupe
Default Is it a C4 or a C5?





Personally, I would rather spend my money on "go fast" goodies rather than trying to update the car, but as they say "Whatever floats your boat."

I would say it's about 3.25 C4 and .75 C5
It's different

this is an odd thing to do... why not just get a C5 if thats what you want???

I like the look of the C4 better anyway, maby a C5 that looks like a C4? That would be interesting...

If I were going to do something like that, I'd rather have the front end of a C5 & the back end of a C4...

I don't like the look of either end of a C5 myself. So to me, this car has been made half ugly.

This is a C4 with a C5 'update' rear panel, no?

I think the C5R looks nice. But the normal production C5s just look oogly and generic.

It looks fine in black - because you can't see the lines.. Otherwise, it's no good.. That nose looks very dull compared to the rest of the car, though...

It has a bra on the front. That's why it's dull.
