The new "backup" driver...
 
I've been having non stop issues with my 1989 firebird and figured it was time to find something a tad more reliable...

So I found a 1995 LT1 C4, with 48k original miles for 11k at a local dealership. It's a great car, awsome MPG and handles like it's on rails!
Suprisingly it feels faster than my LQ9 cammed 1989 firebird...

Is anyone else a fan of the c4s? Also it is stock now, but we all know how that goes. I've been looking for an exhaust with a sound similar to the c5 borla stingers. Where do you start with these things?:chug:

I'll try to get some prettier pics in the morning, the paint is immaculate!

Wow, that's really low miles. Congrats!

Start with a coil pack conversion. You'll thank yourself later!

Great looking car, really like C4s

98mysticZ 01-30-2008 11:22 PM

thats my fav body style :)

khaos288 01-31-2008 12:50 AM

+1 on suspension first, then rims, then...lt5 conversion :evil:

C4's are really cool...I love the body lines on them.Funny that I see this thread because just the other day I saw a 1996 Collector's Edition and was drooling over it bad!LOL!

Hopefully you won't have as much trouble as the earlier LT1 C4s since I believe you should have the vented opti....Not perfect but,better...


As to the post above??Might be a stupid question but is there really some sort of conversion kit to go to coil pack setup?

That_guy 01-31-2008 11:53 AM

suspension , coil pack conv, exhaust/headers

I used to have a 96 Collector.. I like the C4's... I had a 93 that was a rattle trap, but it was a fun car that got killer mileage...

Nice DD... M6 or A4?

They have started to appreciate in value a little, thats the good thing about a Corvette, they don't loose value like a F-body does. As long as their kept clean their still worth some money, regardless of miles. Also as of lately I have been seeing a lot of clean C4s around Houston.

ls7 conversion, imo
