Hi All, Just picked up my second C4 this one is a 94 which is sitting next to my 90. The 90 vert manual i have had for about 6 months triple black 85,000 miles paid 6,700.00. The 94 vert auto got a hell of a deal 105,000 mile paid 4,500.00. Both run great and as we all know very fun to drive. Momma says she is going to keep the 94 so i will have the pleasure of driving the 90. Just excited and needed to share. Thanks

No i did not. A very lovely mother and son selling there deceased husband/father's car out of the bay area San Leandro. Funny you should ask that though i was dealing with someone a bit in San Diego at the time but he kept telling me he was having issues with getting the car smogged and then the one in the bay area popped up so i grabbed it.

Nice looking C4's!

So as a new owner who has driven both back to back what is your impression of a 90 L98 vs a 94 LT1; power, handling, suspension? Any thoughts?

Well momma and i both agree the 94 has a more comfortable interior. Power has to go the 94 just barely i think, because the 90 is a manual so for me it just seems a little funner to drive. Handling seems to be about the same the 94 might stick a little more but the tires are wider. Suspension well both should come with a dentist to replace the loose fillings they cause and also both have the famous interior creaks. In my opinion you cant go wrong with either one to me they are very close in comparison with a slight overall edge to the 94 just for being newer and and the small things improved upon over the 90 but so far we are very happy with both of them.

Can't go wrong for what you got them for. Have fun! Seems like you are going to need a couple of coupes at some point as well!

Congratulations

It certainly is addictive I have been looking for a home closer to work. Oh did I forget to mention more garage space too

When I was in San Lendrano Valley I did see quite a few Corvettes

so be honest - outside style wise which is your fav? Do you get more comments (thumbs up) in one over the other?

TBH i like the butt on the 94 but everyone who i have showed the picture too likes the 90, but other than that we haven't had them long enough to get reactions one way or the other

I always warn guys about low priced Corvettes, but in this case you did great! I wish I could find a deal like that!
