Im an old fart trying to capture my youth also. I bought my c4 2 years ago and am just now driving her. I also reciently purchased a 79 Cadi Coupe in mint condition. Both cars are a dream to drive.
Yall can keep them Fords lol. I did once have a 1968 Thunderbird with a 429, it was a pretty stout car for being stock.

Love the yellow. I'm considering painting my fiberglass bath tub in completion yellow and reglazing the sink and toilet! Other family members disagree, but I'm the one that lives there all the time!

What kind of exhaust you running Corsa? My 95 is all original, but I want louder exhaust. Ill enter it in a few shows if I don't win any I may upgrade the exhaust. Would be a shame to change it now. We'll see...

My exhaust has a few things that have changed the sound of the exhaust. But the exhaust components are Hedman Longtube 1 5/8" Headers, Dynomax True Dual 2 1/4" Exhaust and 2 Dynomax UltraFlo mufflers.
My flat tappet ZZ409 camshaft and 1.6 Roller Rockers also contribute to the sound. And I'm pretty sure my AFR 195 Eliminator heads made a difference in tone too. I was running straight pipes before but everyone was looking at me funny. I could have a conversation in my car, but the people around me couldn't.

Good luck, buddy and live long!

It's been a year since I retired to sunny Southern California. (Temecula). My retirement present is a 95 soft top auto w 51k on the clock. My baby is in pristine condition and will be participating in the Plastic Fantastic Corvette show next weekend in San Diego.
Happy Retirement!!!
