Default I'm back in the Corvette club

Over the years on this forum I've owned a 95 M6, 98 A4, and a 2008 A6 the latter of which I sold about three years ago after driving it for 4 years. For 10 years my daily driver was a Corvette. Well I got the fever again and have always been partial to the C4 so I went looking for an LT4 and picked up this one. 1996 CE LT4 vert w/ 36k miles.

I'm not sure which catback exhaust it has because I don't see any branding on them but they look and sound good. This is my first convertible and it seems to handle a little different than my 95 coupe did which I assume is due to more allowable body flex?

Welcome "back" and congrats on your "new" C4.

That exhaust looks like the Corsa recently installed on my '88, all stainless with polished tips...love it.

Beautiful 96 LT4 Collectors edition. It was ten years between my last Corvette and the one I just bought this summer. The truth is if you have Corvette in your soul than it doesn't matter if you own one your still a brother. It's just sweeter when you own one though. I made the mistake of not continuing my online involvement after I didn't own a Corvette.

Great looking car! Welcome back to the life!

PS: What's that toggle switch for?

Beautiful CE LT4 vert

No that's not Corsa. It's an OBX exhaust.

I suspected it might be OBX but even those have their name stamped on them from what I've seen. These have nothing on them... weird. They do sound good and very little drone. That will probably change if/when I put longtube headers on.

I wondered if anyone would ask about that. Previous owner installed that switch to turn off the under hood lights when he had the hood open all day at car shows and not run the battery down.

That's super clean. Even the driver seat bolster leather still looks awesome.
My OBX has the name stamped right on top of the tips and also, the tips stick out further from the mufflers. Not sure what you have but I really like the way it's tucked up close and tight against the body..
