I took this photo with an iPhone 4S. http://www.knoxcountyohio.com/agent_files/Cool%20Cars/Sam%20Miller%20Ruby%20Corvette.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRD2BDF Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Love the C4. I want one, they practical daily drivers and I mean daily as in everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitrousSam Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Clay - Thanks! I have been a long time fan of the C4 and have owned a handful of them. The location of the engine is awesome because it is set way back compared to most muscle cars. I have a 1984 C4 and ripped out the crossfire setup in favor of a stout carbed 406 with spray. Fun!!! KillJoy - Thanks! The sky was pretty amazing tonight. Cody - They make great daily drivers and the price of most C4's other than the LT4 CE and Grand Sport models are very affordable. Keep the way off the optispark on the newer models and the cars are fairly maintenance free. The Dana 36 models are great until you bolt on a set of sticky tires...

PRD2BDF Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I wanted to ask. What is the best years to buy a C4? I prefer the later years since the looks got more refined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I liked Clay's C4 mostly because he got rid of those stock wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NitrousSam Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Cody - I am a huge fan of the 1996 but have never owned one. The LT4 models have a few engine upgrades and squeeze out a little more power than the standard LT1. The LT4 models generally commands a slightly higher price but features better flowing heads and intake, crane roller rockers, slightly larger cam and improved intake valves. The C4 that can be a hit / miss is the 1984. Some of them seem to run forever while others are plagued with problems with their crossfire fuel injection, digital dash, and of the C4 line they have the weakest transmission.

zeitgeist57 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I wanted to ask. What is the best years to buy a C4? I prefer the later years since the looks got more refined I liked the '95 and '96 models best...for one, the interiors are cleaner and more refined. Older 80s/90s C4 Vettes look like a mish-mash of panels to cover the mechanical bits...'95 and '96 have a more unified look. Also, manual transmission '95s and '96s have a Dana 44 in the rear end. Most also have 13" front discs for braking. After owning one, I do miss it, but the structural rigidity is doo-doo, especially if you lower it like I did mine. Plus, parts and performance upgrades are not readily available and expensive when you find them (like the Optispark distributor and exhaust headers). Clean ones are getting harder to find, so they were and are great cars out of the box, and only getting more unique. My heartstrings are tugged a bit when I see good ones out and about.

TTQ B4U Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) Nice car. Hell, an anniversary convertible like that is timeless. Who cares what anyone else says when you can have fun in an American car like that. Good pic too. I may have a few minutes later to play with it if that's okay. It has potential.
