Default Somebody stop me



Just brought home a 1985 Corvette. I am adding it to my 1978, 1981, and 2005. Always been in love with C4 body. I am out of control.

... I don't think we can, more importantly I do not think we want to.

And even more so, I doubt you really want us to.

I know.

I was reading a thread here how the C4 is the least desirable. All I know is this this car is sweet. I love everything about the C4 and this 4+3 is a hoot to drive.

Anybody who says it's not desirable has never driven one. You get a lot of car for the money.

You might be out of control, but there are a lot of us right there with you.

Good choice of a medium blue '85 4+3. I had one for about 25 years. Loved it.

There is no such thing as too many cars, the real problem is not enough garage space !

Yeah, you're right! Most negative crap is written by ignorant, "pot-stirring, pile-on keyboard 'experts' " that (one) many have never owned a C4 and know nothing of value beyond what what they've heard others that are every bit as ignorant say, and (second) are oblivious to the records held by the C4 which were real killers among their piers of the time and will still provide more performance than most of the "motor mouths" on OT could ever take advantage of. So...there's that!
