Why is there not more performance and custom parts for C4'S?

Vendors have gone where the MONEY is and that the C5/6 market.
For the most part the C4 aftermarket is on life support

True. When you go to shows, all you see is C5 and C6 items. All tuners are specializing in the same.

Look around, they're out there. Most C5 shops can just pull it off the shelf.

what can't you find?
The L98/LT1 aftermarket products are abundant. Note that many of the same parts work with both the Fbodies and Corvettes, so that should broaden your search some.
Most major "modding" is all engine work though, which if you can't find what you need, you just arent looking. Heads, Cam, exhaust, tuning, etc, etc..its all there and easy to find.
