Either way thats still a pretty nice vette, good choice. I offered a friend of mine a year ago $1K for his red '87 that has a messed up motor, and crappy paint job. He said no, now its just an expensive garden ornament in his backyard.

Nice. Im glad I read you used to have a V6. A LT1 traded for that would have been a downgrade. But a V6 for that was definatly a upgrade. I had a V6 F-Body before my LS1 car and it sucked!

As I already said this car is a stepping stone so I can upgrade to an LS1 later on.... or LS7 for that matter, haha. Honestly though I couldn't quite afford an LS1 Corvette right now even though insurance is cheaper than an LS1 T/A/Camaro. This car is perfectly fine for what I want right now and once I get used to it I know I will definitely want something more later. My V6 wasn't bad with my stock 3.42 but I just needed a V8 to step up to and learn from and I think this is the perfect thing for me at the moment.

Few more questions I missed... The car is a '90 with 110k with red interior and selective ride suspension. If I already had an LT1 I would have atleast found a different Corvette with an LT1 (92-96) but I kinda prefer the round tails from 84-90. I do have mods planned for the near future... ZR1 with 315 for sure, muffler eliminators, lower it even more (already lowered rear in pic) and maybe some engine work later on but we'll see.

Those wheels wont fit on a regular c4. The zr1's are 3" wider to allow the use of wider wheels.

Haha, after this I looked at my wheels and only one of them is backwards. When I was buying the car, he briefly showed me what they invested in the car to sell it and I did see a wheel on there but they will be replaced and they have brand new tires, so I'm not complaining.

I like it buddy. any vette is a good vette in my book! get some new wheels (anything but zr1's) with some good sticky meat and that will really set it off.
any more pics?
