Default New Project. Don't Laugh!

So I sold my 1998 Formula and got a 1996 Corvette LT1 A4.
I'm catching a lot of **** from my friends but i have always had a soft spot for C4s...

Any who.. just thought I would share.

Out with the old.


In with the slightly older...

I really like the exterior on C4's, but I don't care for the spaceship interior. The deep bucket seats are pretty cool though.

My guess is your an 80's child. I was technically born in the 70's but did ALL my growing up in the 80's and you'll never hear me bash a 3rd gen. IROC's and T/A GTA's rule (I've owned one of each and miss them dearly)

I love seeing a guy get to buy a car that he is passionate about no matter what it is!

its no more difficult than any other swap. just the body itself does nothin for me. i like sting ray bodies but skip thru the c4s into the c5/6s
