    I think I agree with your assessment, but one never knows. There are quite a few videos of how the C4 is better than you think it is, or better than this or that car and there's a reason for that. I just bought a 94 C4 LT1 w/93,000 mi and the total miles since the last oil change was 1,500. I began changing the oil and filling an old 5 qt container with the used oil and it completely filled the 5 qt container (even though LT1 is a 4.5 qt oil change). Bottom line is the C4, after 93,000 mi, doesn't burn any oil. That is extremely rare to find. I wouldn't be surprised if before long car enthusiasts catch on to how good the C4 has been designed and built and the car gets sought after.

    I have a 96 Z-51 car that i tuned aggressively with Jets DST programmer. I installed a 52mm TPIS throttle body with an open air box modification, a Flowmaster Force 2 exhaust with an x-pipe, Irridium plugs, and a complete tuneup, including replacement of all the old switches and sensors with NAPA and GM quality parts. With the tune, you can change shift points and boost pressure with a faster and harder shift. After doing all that, the car is very fast compared to stock. A c4 owner would be very surprised. The LT-1 loves timing. From the factory, the car is tuned too rich. After you increase timing and lean out the fuel tables, wot is insane. Way more torque down low too.

    All fair points. I got a 95 lt1 auto with 44k on it and extremely well maintained. Wife and I love it. We are not trying to set the world on fire, its is a quick fun and cool feeling riding car. We could of left the cash in the bank with crap returns on interest or bought an affordable sports car and enjoyed the time with it. If it only holds same value or so, we will still have the entire idea of the car for nothing in cost. THE EXPERIENCE IS THE MEMORIES. Everything works after $39 in headlight kit and my labor, all power and cold AC.. Glad they are out there for ppl to buy and enjoy!

    I am fine if my 92 LT1 6 speed does not astronomically increase in value because a C4 Corvette is the car Iusted after as a teenager and the fact that I now have one as a weekend toy brings me more joy than I ever imagined it would. It's my fouth Vette, my first C4 and without a doubt my favorite.

    At 8:28 The bad thing about a manual ( I had a 96 LT4 ) Is when you need a new clutch ( If you take it to a shop to have it installed ) They will make you convert to a single mass flywheel for them to warranty their work, because GM and aftermarket companies no longer manufacture and sell dual mass flywheels and a dual mass flywheel can't be turned by a machine shop.. The only problem I had with the conversion was the gear chatter ( My LT4 had 71,000 miles on it ) People will tell you the less miles = Less transmission wear = Less gear chatter.. That was not the case with mine.. It was almost unbearable at times.. Mechanically the conversion worked perfect and actually felt better through the clutch pedal, but not so much through the gear shifter and transmission tunnel.. I had people asking me " what's wrong with your car? " If you know a work around to deal with that I'm sure that upload would get a lot of views... Awesome upload as usual bud, very informative and spot on.. Take care & have a good one

    I agree, but this is all about the eyes of 1984 at debut. The 1985 TPI car alone was a massive leap forward. I currently have a 1996 LT4, and it's obviously exponentially quick than a 1984 due to having 125 additional horsepower.

    3.45, and my current LT4 with the same configuration ran 13.54 at just under 106mph taking off easy and shifting slow. These will run 13.30 @ 106-107 stock. For 1996, that was world class and worthy of fighting any competition.

    Love my 91 C4 auto with a passion. Don't care what anyone says, it's 10 tons of fun even with an auto. It's also completely gorgeous IMO. You're right of course, the manuals will always be more valuable - but as the years go by, and there's fewer and fewer good ones, I suspect that they'll start to appreciate, or at least hold their value very well. It's still a Vette, after all, and that name means something.

    I’m in southeast Michigan. From my experience I have seen c3 and c4 vette’s go through close to everything! My mother only drove corvette’s from 1980 to around 99, not bragging, my dad just loved her and was happy driving cheap old trucks! I’m looking for a C4, I just wanna daily it, I will run it through dirt roads, rain and snow. You think there is any reliability difference between the auto and manual? I would rather have a manual. Easily under 10 grand, including convertibles, under 80k miles, under 60k miles with some patience. No rust, maintenance to a high level,decent power, gas mileage being great! They are really overlooked.

  • @mattquerio
    @mattquerio20 күн бұрын

    Manuals under 10k are hard to find, as manuals as a whole are hard to find. I'm not super familiar with the 4+3, but I'd say that the auto is more reliable than that. The ZF 6 speed is plenty reliable though. If you're gonna bomb it around, and trash it more or less, I'd get an auto. Manuals are generally 50%-100% more money, and you still have to find one. I can tell you no matter the tire, you're going to get stuck in snow lol. They are too low, and the tires are too wide. Unless you play in 1 or 2 inches of powder.
