Default Moving On..
With my 84 being sold, I will pick up my new ride on Wednesday. It is a 98 Torch Red Coupe, 6sp, Borla Stinger exhaust, which sounds great and no drone at cruising speed. The guy told me, that he was told that it has a Z06 hot cam in it, it does lope a little at idle. I will miss my 84 for sure since it was my first, but I am excited on picking up my C5. Thanks to all for your help and knowledge on the C4 it has helped me alot.

You're still obligated to come back and visit once in a while, you know.

Enjoy the new ride.

Hope you sold it to a forum member or at least encouraged him to join, really like the color of that 84 and enjoy looking at it.

After looking at that C5, I don't blame you a bit - nice ride. And now since you're a C5 owner you don't have to wave any more!

I have enjoyed it here in the C4 section. I will check back often just to see what is going on. My 84 left tonight..it was a hard seeing it go down the road without me in it...I am definitely going to miss it.

Can you tell us how the two compare? I own and 84 and have been eyeing the C5. I just love the basics of the 84. No ABS no air bags and all that stuff.
