84-91 C4s have a rear that tapers inward, while the 91-96 curves outwards. And like the rest of them said....

And C4s all got some ugly ass wheels

C4 (except 1984) actually came with the 230-235-245hp TPI L98 engine until 1992, then the 300hp LT1 until 1996. Better heads, cam, and intake saw the 330hp LT6 version of the LT1 for 1996 only. 300hp LT1 was still the standard engine.

They may seem week and low-tech today, but these were definitely well-regarded engines back in the day.

You must be talking about the L98 C4, because the LT1 was no weak ass motor. The LT1 is a proven motor and is built well except for the optispark shit. The motor also made tons of tq and is still a viable turbo option because of its iron block.
