And I thought mine was a driver at 98K (1995 model). This is neat, I hope mine is still going at 200K.

pretty much the same. Dyno numbers were low. Speed shop said the engine was too good for the L98 intake and exhaust. Don't have the $$ to make any mods right now. They suggested to start with headers, which in CA I'm finding very difficult to find legal ones.

so are those original miles? I hear that shorty's are legal here in ca.

As of now I'm looking to go true dual with long tube headers (some day) since I'm in an area where smog only applies on transfer (except legislation could change any time).

Good luck!

I bought from Corvette Mike's in 1992 with 20,000 already on it. After a lot of calling around, they were the one's I chose to install the ZZ4.

I've got a friend who has a '94 with about 250K on it. But until further notice, I guess you're the king! My '95 will be rolling over 100K real soon and she's just getting warmed up!

I sold an `86 earlier this year with 299k miles. It still had the original engine and ran great. Now the paint and interior are a different story...

Now that should be a topic all by itself. How much did you get for it? With all the C4s for sale at pretty fair prices, I figure I wouldn't get much for it.

$ 3,500
We were going to use it for a parts car. Then a 18 year old kid came in and offered to buy it. Surprised me.
