Thanks! I think she sits just right myself, but I am biased!

The suspension is Euro M030 with Bilsteins.

As for differences... shifting is the biggest obvious one. The '84 wasn't hard exactly, but took some thinking and finesse. This is one that it would seem nearly anyone who can drive a manual could get in and get her going without crunching, fighting and cussing.

The obvious quickness of it is amazing as well and she sticks to the road beyond what I ever pushed the 84. I'm sure a good deal of that is the C4, but the suspension and tires are much improved over my stock suspension before.

The thing that amazes me are the similarities really. It's been over a year since I last drove my '84, but they have a very familiar feel... even though a bit more refined, still pretty darned raw (love the exhaust sound when accelerating).

We were on the freeway the entire 500 mile trip home, but as I get more seat time on the twisties, more differences may stick out.

Now that's a nice car. the cow on the left said his family has been plotting out roads for you for almost 300 years.

I gotta say, I've been pondering this all day and I got nothing. I should probably understand it, but I don't so:
