Default 1994

I used to own a 1991 and I had issues with it, mostly because a previous owner ruined it. Now a very low miles (51,000) untouched 1994 has turned up. the car is a dark green 6 speed convertible other then the engine and the glass rear window what other changes were made? was the ride quality improved?

Default 94 Vette Vert

All I can add is I bought mine in Hartwell, Ga., (near you), and drove it 400 miles home to Panama City Beach non stop except to stop in Dothan, Al. to get gas. It got 30 MPG to that point and it was a very comfortable cruiser! I believe from previous threads that the interior seats and handling were upgraded a lot. One note. Mine had 23000 miles on it, the tires looked great and I didn't know they were the origonal 20 year old tires till I got home! That could have ben a disaster at 75 miles per hour!

The seats on my '94 are much more comfortable than the ones from my '87, the ride is much better also. I think the optispark was upgraded that year ('94). I know the OBD is still the OBD1 and can be a nightmare to work with.

The 94s are slower that the 91s.

My wife and I each have a '94 vert. Her's is polo green, mine is burgundy, and has the LT-1 option. We love them, and have had no major problems! ENJOY yours!

Engine, interior (door panels and seats), upgraded ECM with electronic trans are the hi-lights.

Opti upgrade was '95 when they added the tubing and vents. OBD1 ECM but OBD2 connector. I tune mine with Tunercat and log with Datamaster with no issues, but I have tuned vehicles (OBD2) with HP Tuners for about 9 years... mainly my 650 HP Blown Avalanche...
