Hi, I've got a1991 C4 with L98. It's had 1 owner before me,just over 32000 miles at present, Bright Red, Black Leather, Transparent Roof. Absolute stunning condition. I absolutely love it. 👍👍👍

Can't forget about the '96 manual transmission cars getting the LT4 motor, which was just as quick as the early LS1 C5

My 94 is my prize possession and I absolutely love it

My first Corvette was a 1991. I loved it, and the L98 😉

I own a 1990 ZR-1, I paid 5k for this bad boy. It had been sitting for several years. After doing fuel pumps, fuel filter and injectors and a oil change, along with plugs she fired right up. Also did brakes, instrument cluster rebuild, clutch slave and master cylinder. She has been on the road since June 2020 and have racked up 3500 miles and she is a blast to drive, running great. I'm loving this LT5, I still have cosmetic work to do but mechanically she is stout. Love my 1990.👍👍🏁🏁 Enjoy your videos, get right to the point, great information. This is my first C4, I was looking for a vette for a while and never really considered a C4, but my ZR-1 presented itself and as soon as I opened the clamshell it was over, paid the man and bought her home. I have to say after diving in to fix this car, I was/am amazed with the engineering that went into this machine. I'm glad I chose this C4, it's a blast to drive and I really enjoy it. I'm not sure why the C4 catches so much crap, they are very affordable, relatively cheap to work on(ZR-1 NOT INCLUDED) and a very important part in Corvette history. Long live the C4.

Another 90 ZR-1 owner here, since 2017. Plenty of small issues with it, but a joy to drive, and the registry community is first rate. Usually the only one at a car show too. Parts can be a hassle, but a little patience and mechanical ingenuity solves most problems. Paid $17k with 45k miles. Been very happy with it. If not ZR-1, I'd have a 96 collectors edition.

Had an 85 and now a 92. Both pristine low miles. The 85 felt more solid like a tank. The 92 just not as solid but faster with the new engine that year obviously. I love them both and for 10k you can’t have more fun and reliability in a car.

Thanks, Lyle! Great rundown!!

Love your videos. Very well spoken and lots of information!! Keep up the great content!

Very informative video Lyle, thanks heaps! Keep up the great work!

Good information as usual... My sweet spot is 1985-1988. I find these cars VERY easy to diagnose and work on, and I prefer the earlier exterior. I love the ATARI dash and had it rebuilt for only $350. I like the earlier C4s because they have fewer electronic gadgets. I love the simplicity of my 1985 Vette: No ABS, VATS, Electronic AC Control, TPMS, ASR, FX3, etc... However the 85 has a i year only ECM that is slower than the ECM in my 88..... One thing you should note: 94-95 were not truly OBD2. They had an OBD2 connector but still OBD1 codes. You could not jumper to read codes and you needed a special adapter for a Tech1 scanner. That was a bad hodgepodge by GM. I would avoid 94-95 because of this.

Great informative video Lyle !

I heard it pop and thought I broke the fiberglass back in my seat. I looked up videos and found yours on the seat back quick repair. It worked! So thanks again for your videos, and keep up the info on our Vettes.

Bought my 96 back in May and all i can say is that it is a blast to drive. My dad is a huge corvette fan and when he is with me he does not want to take any other vehicle besides the corvette. So it is a bonding moment with him.

Great video!. My first was a 88 so this was like a stroll down memory lane…🤗

Love this video. Here's why. About 7 years ago, we bought a '91 with the L98 and the 6 speed. Everything you like in your video. I had rejected an older Vette with the 4+3 transmission. Thanks for an excellent video that makes me feel really good about my car.

I love these videos and that is why I subscribed. I am in the C4 with a 1984 Vette. Still working on it as it is coming around, it will be sharp. Thanks for the information you provide!

Awesome Corvette info I always learn something new Everytime👍

Exactly the video I needed, liked and subscribed.

I have an 87 and like he mentioned I have tons of service and restoration docs that helped me make the decision to buy mine and feel good about it. Like you said the electronics are a bit off, the Radio sometimes doesn’t stay on, the windows move slow, and the power seat buttons work but only if I press them a certain way, but that L98 engine is the main reason it’s so much fun to drive!

Lyle, can't thank you enough. Having a C4 was always a dream for me but had to raise a family and save for college etc. Now it's my time finally. Found an 94 with 31K original miles in amazing condition. Everything works as should and I gave $12.5K for her. A little pricey but not a lot of prestine low mileage ones around with all service records. You will be my go to for parts for sure. Only driven it 150 miles so far but it is a beast.

Excellent comprehensive vid, thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍🏽

Great info, super informative. Definitely worth a subscribe. Thanks.

I have a 90 6spd that I put a LOT of work into over the last 3 years or so. I bought your SuperPro suspension bushing kit, and it made a huge difference in drivability and handling. Was well worth the effort. I've replaced the water pump, timing chain and gears, oil pump, 2 wheel hubs, exhaust, lowering kit, 18" wheels/tires, steering wheel, rebuilt steering column, replaced heater control valve and climate control brain, heater core, replaced all hoses, VATS bypass, clutch, rebuilt diff, trans shim, I-beam reinforced mounts, air pump delete, oil pressure sender, rear main seal, shocks. I know I'm way upside down in it, but it was essentially therapy for me and a good distraction from some of life that was welcome then. Still has it's quirky idiot light issues that will not go away, but it runs and drives great now - and that was my goal. May not be a C7 that I would rather have, but I'll take it. A very rewarding car to work on (most of the time).

Extremely informative thank you. My neighbor has a 95 C4 LT1 covered under an oak tree on his ranch. I need a project.

I bought a new 86 Z51, 4+3 transmission, first year with ABS. Wonderful car, except those Girlock brakes SUCKED. Anytime I drove on a twisty road, the rotors kicked the pads back, so the pedal would go low until I pumped the brakes. I learned to double pump the brakes every time I used them. A Corvette specialist at the local dealer drove it and said they were fine. WTF? The notorious 4+3 gave me no problems. I liked it. Pressing the button on the top of the shift lever gave an instant downshift, or upshift. I sold the fully paid for car with only 24K miles when I retired and needed to spend less - insurance was high. I remember going to Sears Point and watched a totally stock 86 win the race. He returned to the pits, put his spare tire, jack, etc. back in the car and drove home to Newport Beach. Just like in the very early days of sports car racing.

Great overview! I so appreciate your immense knowledge about Corvettes overall. Years ago I had an 1984 with the Crossfire and 4+3 manual (and a CA car, no less) -- an absolutely terrible car. I didn't have it long. Now I have a 1994 with the 6-speed and 48k miles which I absolutely love. Only issue I've had in 11 years was a leaking water pump (fixed before the Optispark got damaged) and occasionally climate controls not responding in hot weather.

4:05 I just wanna note that my Commodore 64 that I got when I was 11 years old in 1983 still works to this day. 😅 And...astoundingly...the 1541 floppy drive also works! A lot of those early 80's electronics were mil-spec! 😁

Great info, thanks for putting this together.

thanks for making these corvette video's I have learnt alot

Don't be afraid of ANY C4s. They are the sweetest rides EVER built, and EVERYTHING is cheap and easy to fix. One of the things it was designed for is pit stop repairs. Can't believe they moved away from its platform.

I was recently given a 95C4 and I'm loving it, had to learn about a few parts quickly, but now she's coming together. Your knowledge is incredible, thanks for you bring to the Corvette world.

So, I have a 1981 and a 1979 Corvette. And I couldn’t be happier. Are they perfect? Absolutely not. Do they run? Oh yeah! Have they been projects? Every step of the way. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. I could write pages of information about what I’ve done to the cars… I work on them myself. Learned a ton. And I just keep going because this is too much fun. I dreamed of these cars when I was in high school graduating in 1977. But who had the money on a two dollar and50 Cent an hour job.? Now I have enough money to afford a car that I’ve been in love with since I was a kid. I hope the same happens for those of you who are dreaming about these cars. It’s totally worth it…

My brother used to own a Silver 1996 Corvette LT4 6-Speed manual... What an awesome machine that was! I owned an Electron Blue 2003 C5 Z51 Targa MN6. First mod was a DTE HD 3.90 rear along with OEM Cast Spun 2003 C5 Z06 Gray factory wheels with factory non run-flat 265/40/17 front & 295/35/18 rear Supercar tires. Those two mods alone got my 1/4 mile time from 13.07 @ 110.994 to a 12.89 @ 110.668 at Englishtown. The conditions were much hotter and worse for the 12.89 run, so I'm positive that number would have been even better in the same conditions as the stock run. I immediately began modding my C5 after that, so I never got to re-try in better conditions. The 3.90's made a huge difference! Stock gearing was way too tall. Anyway, I bought my C5 in 2005 and sold it in 2012 because I needed the money. Something I regret to this day. I will buy a C6 GS Targa when I buy my second Corvette in the near future. Thanks for posting the great videos! I subscribed and have liked the four videos I've seen so far. Thanks again! -Chris

The 84-87 models used hard to find 16 inch tires. The 93 - 96 used hard to find staggered 17 inch tires by a single manufacturer. The 93 - 94 Opt-spark ignitions are problematic while the 95 - 96 used a vented Optispark ignition that is better. My 96 had a weird a/c system that was unique to that year and required an expensive controller if problematic. All years had lousy weather stripping when care was ignored. Owned an 87 for 13 years and a 96 for 3 years. Hard entry with the higher sills for us older owners. Emergency brake locations were strange. Digital dashes were hard to see in bright sunlight. Despite these annoyances, the C4’s were fantastic cars that delivered a visceral driving experience. Now own two C5’s and could not be happier.

Great video Lyle. One thing not mentioned that deserves highlighting is when the glovebox came and went. 1990 first year for a glove box. 1993 last year for the glove box. It's important only because there's not a lot of storage in these cars. I 100% agree with your comments concerning the L98 vs LT1. That's why 9 years ago, after doing my own research, I purchased a 1990 ZF6 coupe, and this one in particular had the added bonus of an aftermarket ZR-1 rear bumper, so it has the old front and the convex square light rear and the high mount stop lamp, and the factory slicer wheels for that year that were similar to 89 but 90 had a nicer look with exposed lugnuts with beauty caps, so it looks like a narrow 1990 ZR-1 clone. Love it. Shares space in my garage a 2001 z06, both red with black interior. wouldn't have it any other way.

Great video I learned a lot about C4 thank you

I was daily driving a 1990 Iroc my senior yr of Highschool (2006) I had read every online article and forum about the L98 platform.when I turned 20 I told myself I would have a corvette for my birthday, I saved and flipped cars and found an 89 ZF6 (after again, reading everything I could find on C4s and having driven a 4+3 car). It was fantastic, it turned heads everywhere it went and I only ever did a basic tune up and had to replace the rear mono spring. Truly a splendid car and experience. After having seen this video I would love to test drive a 91 as I too am apprehensive of the optispark platform having serviced many of them in my shops over the years. For anyone looking, his info is spot on. Really id only advise a 94-96 if you dont DIY. Obd2 will make diagnostic procedures MUCH easier, but for those who may be using it periodically or have a back up car in your stable: stick with the L98

Great video. When the factory moved from St. Louis to Bowling Green, KY, they skipped the '83 model year due to the move. There were so many 1984's sold from mid 1983 and all thru the 1984 model year. I have always found that the later made 1984's ( not produced in 1983) are much better cars than any made in 1983.

Great Points! Thank you for the very informative video A+

First C4 I bought on a Friday was a used 1984. A bucket of bolts as you said. Returned it on Monday no questions asked. Next was a new 1987. What a perfect car. Didn't bother to test drive it. Perfect in every way except one time it shut off completely while driving by a chevy dealer, so I coasted it right in. Something was fixed and no problems at all after that. Only thing was at 135 mph, the front got real light, could barely feel the road.

Bought my first American car, Corvette 93 LT1 automatic. Am-a-zing car! Needs alot of love but runs and drives great! Thanks for this video and greetings from the Netherlands!

My first new vet was a 1988 with that horrendous 4-speed manual with overdrive transmission what a nightmare traded it in for a 1990 6 speed and loved it

insanely knowledgeable and helpful

Great job! 1990 owner here 😁👍

I had a 87 with auto, and a 93 with a ZF6, and I can relate to what you said

For me it was the 1990 of 91 because me being super comfortable working on the L98 motor. I found a great deal on a 71k Mile red on red corvette for under 6 grand . Had it for 8 months now complete overhaul on the coolant system. Time to enjoy this car and put some miles on it.

A couple issues here... 94 was first year of sequential injection, not 96. 84s had a lot of forged internals and their engines are typically very strong and reliable. It isn't hard to get them to run right. 85 may have had a better intake setup, but it was not a better engine in any other way. The Optispark is very reliable, if indeed you use a GOOD unit and not rubbish. The biggest issue is people that 'think' they were shit, and instead of just a simple cap and rotor, they foolishly threw away the whole thing when there was nothing wrong with it. The one in my 93 Callaway is 28 years old and has 67,000 miles on it, trouble free, fires instantly.

Petris are quite fine from all i've heard. Opti-Doc rebuilds are spot on. You can rebuilt the OEM units yourself, the bearing is not expensive and not hard to come by. The MSD and Dynaspark are quite ok, but it should be noted they don't have a genuine Mitsubishi sensor, however it is very simple to swap it out from the OEM unit. If you really can't fathom it all on how reliable they really were, have a look on Hoovies Garage channel at the red 1993 Camaro Z-28 video. That car sat untouched for TEN YEARS with it's water pump leaking like a f***ed fridge and yet the distributor is quite fine. Don't go beating on things just because you don't like them or fully understand what goes wrong.

This was REALLY good!
