A small pull with a LT4 Corvette. Stock Engine with bolt on upgrades. CEL is from 02 sensors -4.10 gears -Vortex intake -exotic muscle Longtube Headers -Tri-Flow exhaust 3" with off road X pipe -MAF upgrade -Air Foil -Hypertech tune
Retired in '17, started searching for an LT4 that wasn't beat up. Found one w/50k in Florida. Flew down and bought it,drove 850 miles home. What a fun car to drive. Long legged rascal.
I did the same in 2010 when I flew to Albany New York to get my C4 in a rare color for that year with 37k on it & a 6 speed what an Amazing experience driving back home to Michigan, great car and a fun drive😁.
With the exception of the downshifting. In my country, he wouldn't pass the driving test. Shifting to neutral while in motion is considered bad driving. I hoped for some heel-toe action xD
Agreed. The 94-96 C4's are quick....they run the quarter in the mid to low 13s "stock." Getting to, say, 115 mph is 13 seconds, is moving on, even by today's standards. I also like the F-16 styling of the interior. Great sounding engines too. There's a lot to appreciate about these stylish Corvettes.
@@maximumhardcore4362 Yea, but I can rev my 5.0 5 speed Mustang GT to 6,250 rpm (rev limiter in 2nd and barely clear 65. It only has 3.73s in the rear.
@ Here's my Dyno Video of my 383 LT4 build if you or anybody else is interested. I didn't spare a dime cause I want to go do some road racing so I purchased the best parts money to buy for the build. Since the GM LT4 already has very light intake and exhaust valves, those were the only thing not replaced in the valvetrain and I got spares if anything breaks.
Never understood why guys take the car out of gear at 100+ mph after a pull. Just get off the throttle and brake. It's always safer to be in gear when moving.
That is what I am saying. A 100 plus in a 45 in town in a corvette. I will watch someone else do it but not me as that is a going to jail offense here in Georgia.
You are a lot braver than I am hitting a 100 plus in a 45 in town in a corvette. In Georgia that is a going to jail offense..........lol. I floor mine at traffic light take offs but I only get up to speed limit since police are very prevalent where I live and my torch red LT4 sticks out like a sore thumb.
@@tn18977 In the state I live that is not just a speeding ticket but reckless driving as well and they will take you to jail and most likely lose your license for a year. With age comes wisdom. That is why insurance is so high for young folks with sports cars.....lol
Nice vid man. I'm looking at C4s and have a question regarding the radio. When you upgrade stereos do they just disconnect the stock unit by the steering wheel?
jpratx you have to remove the original Bose radio then run an adaptor harness to the back of the car to use all the stock speakers and amp. It’s not super fun to do. I did it. You need to remove passenger seat.
I know the LT4 was the standard engine for the 96 Grand Sport corvettes, but were they optional in the standard C4, not really too familiar with these cars.
@@SKRooU2 If you do the math with the rear diff and the gear ratios in the transmission. You can pretty much tell how fast the car can go per gear at X RPM. Wheel size matters a little too.
@@brybrycrivello LOL -I understand all of that but the discussion was about whether you had 4.10 gears. you went from rear end gears to talking about tranny gears etc, you changed the focus of the conversation LOL but anyways nice video seems like a very quick car. I have a 98 t/a with 3;23 gears cars is all stock and it runs 4.5 -0-60 and 12.8 et here in Vegas. We are almost at sea level. Most guys forget the closer you are to sea level the faster/ quicker the numbers will be.
I used a go pro window mount in the rear. I was able to do the rpm/mph because I have OBD2. It will only work if you have an LS swap or a 96 or greater car. I used fusion obd2 scanner and recorded my phone while it was hooked up.
B&B tri-flow with X pipe 3” exotic muscle long tubes 1” 3/4 with no cats. It’s actually not super loud either with all of that. There is drone in the car though.
Heeeeey guys I need everyone's opinion... I want a weekend fun car cruiser.. i saw a 95 c4 in amazing condition for $7,200 should i jump on it..I'm a little worried about the reliability with it being 26 years old... what should I do? I need help lol I never really gave the c4 a chance and then I started watching videos and looking at them and I fuckin love them lol #needhelpasap👍👍
Its an older car so there will always be something stupid that will break. Overall its a good year. Has the vented Opti Spark which seems to be the weakest link in the gen 2 LT motors. My 96 I still have not had an issue with it.
@@michaelthebarbarian3380 Front loaded somehow means down low power. Ok. I own a 1988 Corvette Z52 4+3 I too know what the weight distribution is like. Plus I know what the low end torque is like because I actually have an L98.
@@mikecronis lmao are you stupid, it’s so under rated. There is a reason why I can buy a C4 for less then 10k, because it’s underrated. The C-4 Corvette bridged the gap between the C-5 and the C3 body style. It’s the perfect balance between the rough/aggressive edges of the C2 and C3 Corvette along with the wide/low stance of the C-5 and later models. Get your uneducated ass out of here you uncooked human.
@@HioSSilver1999 when the new LS1 came out my lt4 would put 3 to 4 car lengths on them the LS6 the car would run neck-to-neck you put a tune coilover suspension and when I Road Race my car I keep up with brand new Corvettes Porsches Camaros Z28 and even a McLaren these cars are so underrated it is crazy they handled like they're on Rails when they're stock they just need wider Wheels remember the C form held the speed record of 254 miles per hour for the longest time
@@mikejohnson699 Your ignorance is almost as bad as your grammar. This is a 1996 LT4 Corvette. The LT5 DOHC motor was NOT available in 96. This Motor is a PUSH ROD, ALUMINUM HEAD V8 offered in 96 only manual transmission Corvettes. You may want to keep you thumbs off your Johnson and learn how to read, research and STFU.
I've had a lot of performance cars over the years, but my 1996 Collector Edition LT4 always brings a smile to my face when I think about it. I built it into a 388 stroker with a complete hand rework on the heads. After all was said and done, and managing to find someone who could tune with LT edit, it put down 415 hp at the wheels. Not overwhelming by today's standards, but with it's relative light weight it was a blast to drive. I also went to a single mass fly wheel, which added a whole other interesting element.
