Thinkin About a C4
Hello everyone, just wanted to stop buy and get some info and some camaraderie. I am looking at an 87 , it fits into my budget and I love driving it. I have driven a few vets, C4,C5 and a C6, but I can honestly only afford a C4. I will have some questions in the C4 specific forums. Don't worry I have already read through all the noob to do lists,lol. Can't wait to exchange ideas and stories with you all.

The great thing about Corvette's is that there is one that fits almost any budget. You get tremendous value for the dollar with a good used C4. Just get the Vette in the best possible condition for your budget. With the huge depreciation that the C4's took, it is hard to get hurt on a C4 purchase (unless you buy one in really rough shape that needs alot of work).
Good luck with your purchase.

Sounds like you are looking in the right segment of the market. I had and liked the LT1 in my 93 Corvette. I never had a mechanical issue with it. Why dont you like it?
Lots of good Vettes are available, good luck.

Loved the power and the way it responded, but I had issues with the ignition system. Every time it rained the car would miss and hiccup. I am pretty sure it was due to the cap being on the front of the motor. I replaced the unit with a nos GM part and it still did it. My friend went to a flying mag crank trigger and it solved the problem, but man that was expensive.
