And, when the race gets longer...e.g., 1/2 mile drag, or more, the "5" becomes obviously longer legged than the "4"! (WANNAGOFAST contests showed that pretty clearly)

Last year of production of the C4, limited production numbers, and Grand Sport heritage? Those are the ONLY reasons I see the Grand Sports going for crazy prices.....but OMG that paint job and fender flairs, BARF! It's looks like it's trying to hard to be cool or something.

In 1996 C4 with a manual transmission got an LT-4 engine that said Grand Sport on the throttle body . The Grand Sport coups was paint and wider tires the convertible was just paint and white top.
Everyone has their own likes and dislikes!
