Ok… my brief stint of insanity is over… you guys have brought me back to reality…. I still have to admit I like their looks (C3) but am more interested in the driving experience…

You came onto a Ford board asking about a Chevy, you knew how this thread would turn out.

I really don't agree with this at all, C3's 73-82 were undesirable for sure though. C4's were pretty good performers, especially once the LT1 arrived + ZR1's, C5's I always thought were nice cars.

I wouldn't go for this trade personally.

the only good c4 was the zr-1, I love all the c5's (although they have issues), and the c6's are cool. If I had the money I would get a c5 Z06 instantly.

Not true. If he came in asking about a C5 or better, my answer would have been completely different.

The 84 crossfire injection was terrible, the TPI 350's were a bit better but I mainly agree with you...My favorite from the C4's would be the LT4 Gran Sport.

From a driving perspective I would agree. I just think the C5 is kind of plain looking. While it is a big improvement over the C4, I always liked the lines of the C3. Especially the 70-72 and 80-82. Guess I am just a little bit off, but to each their own, right?.

You are right, I stand corrected. The last C3 was 1982 with sorry cross fire injection.

Some questions you must ask yourself:

1. Are you over 60?

2. Is your penis really small?

3. Do you like shiny silver nylon jackets with "Corvette" down one sleeve?

4. Do you still wear the same hairstyle that you wore when you graduated high school in 1974?

5. Do you wear deck shoes with no socks and the collar of your Polo shirt turned up?

If you answered "yes" to the above questions, feel free to make the trade.

Bear in mind that the L82 in 1979 was rated the same horsepower as your Mustang and weighed a little more. So performance will be no better. It all boils down to do you want to hang out with Corvette guys (see above) or Mustang guys.
