@charliecadaver666 3 жыл бұрын

Nah... Bc the C5 is still more sought car vs a c4 bc not just the handling is way better as its wider vs the c4. But the C5 of course has the LS1 engine. Which will put down 40-50whp more. And they respond to mods much better. I build lsx engines and there's a reason why everyone is doing a lsx swap. I can't remember the last time I heard someone doing an ltx swap. The lt1's run decent. But with the opti and water pump issue.. It can be a headache if not done right. Back to handling... A ls1 fbody will still handle better vs a c4 vette. I own 2 actually as they are great street cars. Both are t56. And i would never give 1 up for a c4 vette. Not even a 1990 zr1. As both my fbody's make more power anyways. And with aftermarket suspension also, i stock c4 cannot touch my cars. So a high mileage C5 automatic... You can snag for $7k cash. I've seen them every so often for 6500 with higher than average mileage. Less than what he paid for this black rose c4.

I had a 94 C4 and it was my daily driver. Very comfortable, and the torque combined with the light weight meant if you saw a spot in traffic, it was yours. I took it on long trips and enjoyed every second of it. The LT1 is a great motor. You can slide the back end out with 1/4 throttle if you want to. The only downside is the large door sill to climb over when you get in, and the problems with the optispark. GM doesn't make them anymore so if you need a new opti, you keep buying chinese ones until you get one that works.

I had all but written off the possibility of owning a C4, and had other things in mind for my next second/sports car. But I decided to take one last look at them. I'm old enough to remember them as new cars, when they were very impressive compared to contemporary sports cars, at any price. Still, I had, over the years, fallen into the conventional thinking that they weren't desirable now. But THEN I realized what bargains they have truly become, at least here in the States. So I bought a 1988 Manual C4 back in January, just before the troubles really began. My particular car pushed all the right buttons, in terms of colors and specifications. And the price was right, so I snapped it up after inspecting and driving it. The thing about the C4 that does not show itself well on video, is how much personality it has. It's "Fizzy" as Jason Cammisa likes to say: It sounds great, the throttle response is very 'snappy', the shifter feels like a rifle bolt, it has a mountain of torque right from idle, excellent suspension tuning and a vice-free chassis, outstanding driving-position ergonomics, and (I think) stunning good looks. It's easily one of the two or three cleanest Corvette designs of all time. I do have a strong preference for the original styling, though (1984-89). Here in America, the cars are still cheap and plentiful. Reliability is outstanding, there is tons of expertise, readily available parts of any description, dramatic increases in engine power are inexpensive, and running gear parts really are cheap and DURABLE. Reproduction interior stuff and significant body damage do get expensive fast, so try to find one in very good cosmetic condition. They may not be cheap for much longer, especially as they age-out and fall off the road; we'll see. But mine makes me smile, for sure. Thanks for the great video! Liked and subscribed.

@michaellorenson2997 3 жыл бұрын

@@ericmiller2052 Thanks, I'd overlooked the 1990 model's unique combination of early and late model characteristics. For me, the updated dash is very well done, except for one thing; the colors. I could live with the materials. It is a Corvette, after all, and relatively cheap interiors are always part of the formula that allows them to be such performance bargains. Anyway, the grey switches with orange markings turn me off. Makes it look even cheaper. This extends to the instruments, which look cheap as hell even though they are excellent functionally. I prefer the early dash, with its F-16 inspired, all-business digital presentation. I'm probably completely alone in that! But whatever, it's very unique and I think it's cool.

I bought a 1988 9 years ago for 1800$ w/ 100k miles. Buddy knew a guy that had it in his garage for 6 years just sitting, after back surgery he couldn't get in and out easily and tired of seeing it just sit. Had it towed to the shop I was working at, tossed some ATF in the plug holes and went to lunch. Came back and threw a battery in it and it fired right up on 6 year old gas. Immediately drove it home trying to knock the flat spots out of the tires the whole way home....lol it wobbled like a clown car and the massive 2nd gear burnout clouds from rock hard tires added to the hilarity....long story short it's in the driveway with 150k miles and just as many smiles. Same motor and trans from the factory never opened(bolt-ons, big throttlebody, $a Haltech Gm PlugNplay ecu$, C5 front brake kit(A MUST), lowered as far as i cant get it without going to coilovers, black GS 17x11 for the rear and 9 for the front).

Great video, totally enjoyed watching you and your wife's trip across the USA. Back in 1998 I purchased an ultra-low miles, 96 triple black/6sp/LT4/convertible and am still thankful that I never sold it and probably never will. Looks great, handles like a champ, surprisingly quick and particularly fun for 2 lane mountain runs through Sequoia National Park. Interior still has that newer car smell and shockingly enough, except for the cruise module, it's been repair free. Kinda nice too that the car has been receiving more and more compliments as the years roll on. Wish I could say the same for myself! Best wishes to you and your wifey, hope ya don't mind a new 66 year old subscriber. Cheers!

I'm not a huge fan of the C4 by itself, but the 1996 C4 Grand Sport is simply gorgeous. The vibrant blue with a long, thick white strip going right down the middle, and red front fender stripes just all play on it's style very well.

Always been a 'sports car' person, but being a family man for many years on a working man's budget, the vehicle budget was restricted for many years to American 'family car' sedans and reliable transportation. Always lusted for a British sports car the likes of an MG or Triumph and after my kids were all grown up and on their own, finally found myself in a position to be able to get myself a 'toy'. One day while driving past a local used car lot, they had a really beautiful Corvette convertible parked out front so I decided to take a look. Long story short after a test ride I fell in love with it and decided to purchase it. It is a 1992 convertible, LT1 engine, auto transmission, and in excellent condition. I have found it to be whatever I want it to be; a sedate easy to drive and live with daily driver, or an exciting sports car with plenty of power when it's needed. And I get plenty of compliments and waves from other Corvette owners. No regrets about buying a used C4 Corvette.

Thanks so much for the work that went into this video. It's just a pleasure to watch (for the second time - I watched it a few years ago, but stumbled back across it today). Perhaps I'm biased - having a '92 Black Rose Metallic Vette. But you're absolutely right. This car is really underappreciated. I was luck enough to find one in great condition on Ebay back in 2014, with a ZF6 manual which I love . 114K miles - which is probably the reason. But hey, it's a Chevy - so as long as its taken care of and you work on it yourself to avoid high repair cost, it's a fantastic car. (Not sure I'd take mine on such a long trip though, with that many miles). Thanks again for the pleasant video...

I remember when the C4 came out, everyone knew they were a big advancement. I remember reading all the test results in the magazines of the time. It was the only American sports car that could even think about competing with contemporary European sports cars. Being a teenager, they were far out of reach for me, but I still lusted after them. C3 was great from an industrial design point of view, but basically 60's tech. The last few years were especially pathetic.

Long story short, still an excellent car today if you can handle the stiff ride and a creak or rattle which is par for the course in ANY older sports car. This was also the first corvette I ever sat in and left an everlasting impression on me!

@dr.lyleevans6915 3 жыл бұрын

Shelby Avant Ahh Yep, your right. I can’t believe i missed that lol. Anyway, for me personally when it comes to C3’s, the earlier the better. I think the early ones look better, and also had the better available powertrains by a long shot (basically breaks down like this; •later C3’s: some of the worst/least volumetrically efficient and weak/anemic power-plants to ever grace American roads •Earlier C3’s: Some of the most powerful and sought-after big-blocks and SBC’s of all-time (427/7.0L monster included!) This was much due to the oil crisis (incredibly high fuel prices as well as limited supply of fuel which resulted in 6-hour lines, rations, low maximum purchases etc.; all of which made the prospect of owning a muscle car unappealing to say the least), federally mandated emissions (catalytic converters, smaller carbs running lean, lower compression, restricted intake etc., all of which utterly destroy power output. The C4 which I mistakenly referred to was super weak in its 84’ debut, but as the generation aged, so did its power output and overall driveability and performance. The LT-1’s were good performers, with amazing low-end torque and available 6-sp manuals. The LT-4’s in the 96’s and other special editions (Grand Sports) we’re off the charts sick. I had a friend with one transplanted into a 96’ Camaro with only a few bolt-ons; it would hang with my modded 02’ Z06 up until around 80. The LT-5’s from the ZR-1’s were next level, although rare and expensive. They were Yamaha designed with help from Lotus iirc. DOHC (not pushrod!), high-compression, fuel-injection, high-revving, ~400 hp beasts, which was world class super car territory in the early 90’s without even considering the reasonable price tag.
