I'll post some more pics up later, how come no ZR1's? I wanted them for the Firebird so now that I actually have a Corvette I definitely want ZR1 wheels. I saw those Shelby wheels on eBay already I just don't have the money for wheels right now...

Edit: Don't worry, I don't know what dumbass put that thing on there. It's just STUCK on there really well cause I've already tried prying it off.

zr1's are just sooo expected. try something different. something to set your car apart. just do a little research there are plenty of nice wheels out there for a good price

Nice man i think its a good upgrade, but im confused if its an L98 why does it say lt1 on your console, i know nothing about those cars and the older motors for the most part so this is prob a dumb question

I do have an L98, some jerk put that plaque in there; just haven't really tried to take it off cause it's really stuck on there.

This must be your first C4 . I speak from experience and stand by my comment.

Congrats! I'm not a fan of C4's but glad you have a car you like but personally I would of brought a LT1 Z28 or Trans Am if you were watching your pennies. Good luck with it and future mods

Most of the haters who will tell you a TPI car is a downgrade have never come across a modded one that runs well. My full exhaust 01 ws6 is not much faster than my full exhaust 350 92 z28. TA ran 8.0 and z28 ran 8.20. Nice third gen Z's and C4s catch my eye more than new ones. In the end its about what YOU like. I LIKE IT!!

8.2 @ 82mph 1.7 60ft on motor. 7.80 @ 88mph on something around a 100 shot. Car weighed right at 3180 lbs with all the interior. But no HVAC stuff except the compressor. 350 5 speeds run very well.

350 5-speed? To my knowledge all l98 3rd gen z28's and irocs were automatics.

To the thread starter don't let anyone make you feel bad. The car looks clean from the pics and despite the L98's not being the best from the factory they have plenty of potential. Enjoy the car.
