What is /o/'s opinion on C4 corvettes?
They are pretty affordable in my area, I'd appreciate any input.

There's a reason you can get one for 2 grand
Though they're my favorite corvette despite GM being the worst company

They're on the sticky for a reason.
That said, automatics are everywhere, but shit to drive, and the manuals weren't much better until 1989. Try to find a 1989-1996 manual C4. In 1989, they ditched the 4+1 manual for a good 6 speed manual.
They're good cars for the money, but they're starting to creep up in price. You can almost buy a C5 for the price of a decent C4, but maintaining and modding the C4 will be cheaper.
I was gonna get a C4 but I found a C3 for pennies.
I initially wanted a C4 because I liked the Running In The 90's retro style, so I did lots of research.
1984 is a shitbox. Don't bother. Ever.
For that matter, 85, 86 are also shitboxes. Supposedly GM got the kinks out by 1987, but I wouldn't bother getting anything that wasn't a 91+ LT1.
Everyone I had ever met thought the C4 is a dumbfuck redneck car, but in reality they just automatically think of the 80's TPI ones. The LT1s look so much better and perform better as well.

These are the LT1s I'm talking about.

Wouldn't >>14014155 have an LT5?
If it's the Crossfire Injected ones, drop it immediately.

LT5 was 1990-1995. Some time after the 1990 ZR1 was released, all corvettes got the ZR1 rear end with the square tail lights.
>dat twin cam V8 though

The one in the image above has ZR-1 badging.

>dat LT5
I wish though. C4s are astronomically expensive in this country. 25k will get you an okay 80s model.
Oh you want a 90s one? 45k for the average ones. Last time I saw a ZR-1 for sale it was 70k...
Even Trans Am are starting to go up in price now.
>>14014155
>no '89 manuals in my area
I want the 80's styling, but manuals are hard as hell to find period. It's either a solitary black '88 manual or a 90's manual without the rad 80's stylings.

Didn't the C4s win the showroom stock racing so much that they were banned to give the other competitors a chance?

I'd probably consider getting one if you could find one with a 6-speed for a decent price where I live.
>>14014133
1989 or newer are just a blast to drive. The interior are probably cracked or going to and the electronics in some of the dashes are finicky. I love corvettes tho so i would buy one that looks well maintained. Also easier and cheaper to mod and fix then most cars.
Are these the ones where you could inflate the side support on the seats? :3 My dad had one of those when I was a kid. zr1...

Crossfire is interesttin, but that's it.
There is a reason GM abandoned that technolo. All existing examples are a shit.
