B'85

After spending the last few years keeping an "81 porsche 928 alive, I have few if any gripes about the vette. I think I almost feinted the first time I went to the local parts shop and they had what i needed IN STOCK. Parts are Sooo easy to find, and cheap to boot. I loved that 928 but the vette has more guts (especially at low rpm) and aftermarket upgrade parts are everywhere (to be expected... they made more vettes in '85 than the total # of 928's ever imported)

I hate that C-4 owners get all the $hit we do, but that it's not reflected in replacement parts prices!!!! Sheesh somebody tell GM that C-4's are such pieces of $hit, and they should give us the parts!!!!

it's not so much c4s are POS's as it is they need to be gone through at the age they happen to be at. i own a c4 that is just dialed. easy to toss around, does what i tell it to and is faster than a stock ls2 c6. the entire car has been gone through.

I agree with you! Just happened to be the other day. Some people try to make it intimating for new people here. We were all a newbie at some point, no one was born with Corvette knowledge.

Um, you do realize there is a whole car wrapped around that engine, right? Though even at that, the engine is not without problem. I remember hearing of people having warranty troubles if their car ever over-revved. Apparently the ECM would store the number of times the car went over some defined RPM point. This is not from missing a shift, etc, rather the engine did not have a capable rev limiter.

As to prices, you can still find '07 and even '06 Elises new from dealers, so I really doubt the resale will be very good (eBay is hardly the way to get a pulse on resale).

But hey dude, if you think they are reliable and will hold their value, go get one. All I suggested you do is take a look at Lotus's history in regards to that. They've made more cars than just the Elise.

Front end fit (hood and bumper). Drives me nuts when I look at the car for a long period of time. Looks right from one angle, and looks like chit from another.

I hate it when I go to turn the headlights off, and simultaneously dim the interior lights. Other than that, it's the perfect ride

Only thing I really dislike about my 92 is that every once in a while when I'm sitting at a stoplight and the light turns green, the car beside me gets to the other side first. It's pretty rare, but mildly disappointing when it does happen. I'm working on solving that problem though.

Biggest complaint is the 1984-90 replacement of the rear lights, 2 minute job on any other car is 30 minutes and doctor bill! That it took GM until 91 to change this was just plain CHEAP!

Ever remove the damned Bose CDM tuner module under the front passenger seat? I swear, you have to be a midget contortionist to get at that ****!

Thanks for all the great posts I did not know I would get this much attention. I love reading all the different posts. Thanks again!

I love a lot about the C4 L98 is bulletproof (knock on wood) probably most annoying is girlfreind when I have to buy stuff for the car and the $ spent on it. The lack of value in our cars versus what we got in them! bottoming out and ruining front spoiler, need more power most mini vans have more HP now adays! Cops always think ur speeding going 5mph over... other then that life is good!

racebum

cops mess with modded cars period. i actually have more trouble in my rice rocket than i do in the vette. damn cops

things about my c4 that **** me off...

brand new weather stripping, still leaking on the lap
flimsy door panels
hit a bump, and the whole car rattles
spark plugs installation
bump steer

the cost off parts, I have notices parts for other cars are half as much.
gas mileage is around 9 or 10, hey who cares.


These things may **** me off but I love my car. I love taking on and off ramps. I wouldnt trade it for anything. Driving her on a sunny day, top off the car, with not a care in the world is priceless. I look past all the things that **** me off and drive it for what it is. Its a great corvette.

Generally speaking, with these cars, the enjoyment and love out weighs the low points.

right now....I hate the rain...the C4 just won't come out of the garage.

garychurchill

I really hate how all the other cars on the road just can't keep up!

Same as above, the rain. It rains in FL all summer, so the car pretty much sits in the garage. I do drive my car, but avoid all the rain (as best I can)

Removing the #2 plug is ridiculous. But the left valve cover is equally absurd. The A/C bracket and compressor had to be shifted forward. What a hassle.

The question is "what do I hate most about my vette"

..............not a god- damn thing..........
