I too have a 96 LT-4. It's a blast to drive and as stated earlier, there's no better bang for the buck than a C4, period.

You've purchased a beaut!,..though I'm not wild about the mud-flaps.

Good luck!

I had an '85 in the early 90s that I drove in the snow, not by choice. Weather snapped on me. It was fine for the most part, got a little squirrelly when I was almost home.

Very nice find- Big Bang for your Buck!:

_dupe: Has anybody "duped" themselves on CF before? 2 Vettes ARE better than 1, especially when they are RED.

You can still be driving one when the other is temporarily out of service.

I just sold my C-4 to my Dad. The C-3 was to have a Corvette again. I may get another C-4 again someday. I liked things about that car that the C-3 is lacking in. Power for one. Fuel economy for another. Anyway, that sounds like a screamin' deal on a really nice car. Congrats!

It is not a sin to own multiple generation Vettes, it's a blessing!

I own a 78 and 98.

No hate here either. I just got back into a C3 this past summer and I have been looking quietly at C4s. I have a '95 Camry that is getting into some pretty rough shape and I would like to replace it with something next year. With the present prices of C4s, I wouldn't mind replacing it with a clean '93-'95 Corvette to use as my daily driver. I think I can even talk my wife into it IF it was automatic transmission.

Very nice looking car. I've always liked the wheels on that year car. And it's a 40th Anniversay car too. You can't go wrong with a black Vette. Nice find!
