Re: C5 conversion kits (Jim85IROC)
I just want to know who in there right mind would sink all that cash into a poopiefire injection 84? That is just crazy talk.. The end result IMHO isn't too terrible looking but as far as mechanically sound... what a nightmare. They can go ahead and sell crazy to someone on ebay though.. people will buy anything on there. :D

Why do people want to destroy C4s? I think if you want a C5 buy a C5, if you want a C4 buy a C4 but dont mix n match that looks like s**t!

Re: C5 conversion kits (sprangsplaya)
I agree with what some say, it is your car do what you want with it. BUT! if you wanted the C5 look the best thing to do is buy a C5. I bought my my 92 with 96k on it for $11,000.00. I feel I got a good deal. I would be willing to bet that after the conversion was done you would have at least five grand in the conversion. You could sell your car then buy a C5. It's painting an orange red so it will look like an apple, it's all fruit, but they're just not the same. Just my opinion.

Re: C5 conversion kits (Steven P)
It's the sophomore jinx. It seems like every last-generation Corvette sees its share of junked-up, body-kitted, custom-painted orphans. Then someone buys it cheap a decade later and restores it and has a nice story to tell about they had to hunt down the original parts. The moral of the story is: leave it stock because it will end up that way either way. But, ultimately it's your car and it's made for having fun! :seeya
