pro's and cons of C-3 vs C-4

Hey corvette people! I am Interested in some day joining your ranks. With a recent carcraft article it noted that the C-4 were bottoming out in their value cycle. As you already know the vette offers low center of gravity, great suspension for the day,a small block 350, and a stout rear-end. So here is my deal. I like the way the C-3 looks. But to me GM made a big whoopee about the C-4. I think a modified C-4 can look hot too. I heard that 4 wheel disc brakes were new for 1984. So what else? rust issues C-3 vs C-4? Suspension issues? tranny issues? electronics issues? Body fit issues? What should be absolutely avoided? C3 vs C-4, your thoughts and posts please!

Oh yeah and I am NOT a purist. I want to do totally custom paint, a hot motor, custom gauges, and a stereo that makes your ears bleed are all part of the plan and then drive the *** out of it while you stay on the grass and get fussy about a rock chip. (cars were made to be driven....Jay Leno agrees)
