Still have the C4? If so, post up pics. A lot of us had/have C4's before we bought our C5's including me

First thing that comes to mind is power to weight ratio. These convertibles have got to be faster than a coupe. Have you ever looked into the weight difference, and has that ever crossed your mind? Just thinking out loud, welcome Corvette brother!

I really appreciate the nice and welcoming comments I am going to try and answer some of the questions and get some more pics up.

That is the picture from my buddy's car lot (where I bought it) in Deland, FL. Don't know much about the sign.

Oh ya. Still have it. Still love my '91. I am going to park it until I have the time and garage space to fix it(long story)

I'm not sure. After having my '91 with the stroker 383 and auto, I am not looking to veer too far away from stock on this one. Let's see how long that lasts. LOL

Thanks for all of the positive feedback guys I didn't get any pics with the top down yet, but I do have pics from yesterday, after the first wash, clay bar, and wax!!! Oh ya, that's my '91 in the background. It has gone from my DD (for 11 years) to project car...as soon as I get a new house and garage space. LOL
