The C4 looks amazing. With its electronic gauges, it was so futuristic when it first came out.

I have a 93, noticed the mixture of analog and digital gauges are still going strong on a lot of vehicles today. Like my newer truck has digital and analog mix. I love the digital cluster on the older C4! The only thing I don't like is the bread box.

I own a C5 because it was the best corvette I could afford. I like the flowing lines, the handling and the power. You can cruise it all day on the highway and not get tired. Of course it has the 6 speed manual which on the highway, means 33+ mpg.

@marcelromijn2227 7 месяцев назад

Always loved the C4 styling for the earlier models. Both inside and out. And in Europe the C4 is quite exotic also and the fact its one of the smaller ones makes it very usable. Quality of the interior is for sure very poor with lot of rattles, windnoise and leaking when its raining. Even after fixing a lot. But it ls such a great cruiser with much better handling than the average person expects. I dont dislike C5 or C6 but the C4 is just such a classic.

@mattc9875 7 месяцев назад

Totally agree

@arkansasturin8144 5 месяцев назад

If you have still leak problems during rain I think I may be able to help. You just need good set of weatherstrio and mount it corectly. My friends never had problem with OEM. But they cost a bit. Deoends where in EU you live ir may be small amout of money up to 2 pay checks in Poland.

Owned all three and loved them all! Autocrossed the hell out of my 86 (usually FSTD but had to rebuild my 4+3 transmission 3 times!) and most served as my daily driver - a lot more practical than one might imagine. C4 was particularly memorable as I was single, and the high sills made it very tough for my dates wearing skirts not to flash me getting out LOL! C5 (hardtop) was not just way quicker, but had a much stiffer body structure and the rear suspension did not cause the car to jump sideways like the C4 would do in a bumpy turn. Not as good of an autocrosser due to the longer wheelbase, but otherwise handled way better. 08 C6, which I still have, was imo much easier on the eyes than the big butt C5 and just generally more refined and considerably faster again. C6 is the keeper, but honestly if I had the garage space and an accommodating wife I'd have all three!

My wife and I REALLY enjoy our '89 C4 base Corvette (LORVET the Corvette). She's a great GT type experience, very unique nowadays, gorgeous and a lot of fun to drive even without all the raging ponies under her huge clam shell hood! That being said, she can be a "finicky critter" at times and we can't blame her for that being that she's been around for 34 years. A very different driving experience fo' sho' and super nostalgic!

@tonysteppan8495 7 месяцев назад

Can relate being a 1990 owner. My wife's C5 was an auto and the engine when cold was sounding like a box of rocks until it got up to op. temp.Ran great though. With the 90 which is somewhat low mileage. You nail it about the age. It's the same with any 33-year-old car or truck. Yes, the driving experience, it's a great cruiser. Not a ball of fire, but still enjoyable. My part replacement due to age, not abuse has been a lot. but I'm picky. But every time I go out for a ride. It's worth it. Hope you get many smiles per mile!

I had a 95 C4 manual and I loved the car. Then I got a 2000 C5 manual vert and wow what a night and day difference. The C5 over the C4 any day of the week and twice on Sunday IMO. I have no experience yet with a C6 but I would venture to guess that I would like it better than my C5 providing it was both a LS3 and a manual. My advice to most corvette shoppers is by the newest generation that you can afford. Then look for the sweet spots within that generation. C4 I would stick with 95-96 for the LT1/LT4 and vented opti-spark. C5 I would go for 01-04 to get the EBCM module that is actually repairable and C6 definitely 08-13 to get the LS3 motor.

@aaronbritt2025 8 месяцев назад

I will own a C6 Z06 eventually. I love the big 427 NA engine. Everyone complains about the plastic interiors and the shared parts, but without them, the car would've been much more expensive. Chevy remedied this (and raised the price) in the C7 and C8 with the available all leather 3LZ packages. You can pay almost $200k for a fully optioned C8 Z06. @12:55... Actually, you'll find it down by your left foot. Despite having this manual latch, people still manage to get locked in their cars if the battery dies. These are people that don't know that cars come with a book in the glove box that explains how to use the features in their cars.

The weather stripping will need to be addressed soon. I just had a trans pan leak fixed, speedometer connector leak and some drive train seals replaced for $800. Mostly labor since some exhaust needed to be disconnected. I use a repair shop that appreciates the Corvette and is careful with it and repairs. It is more difficult to enter as I am now 83, but it is worth the effort. It is so fun to drive that I haven't regretted owning the C4. Phoenix.

I purchased a new 1990 which served me well as my daily driver for 15 years. I just loved the car but it grew impractical as my daily driver as it typically sat for days at the dealership waiting for parts to be special ordered as it got older. Sold it to my sister in Virginia who had it for a year before the control module for the airbag failed. She was unable to source a replacement new or used and had to sell it when she was unable to pass the VA inspection without it. Replacement electronics are going to be a challenge for keeping the more modern Corvettes on the road as they get older. Maybe some of these electronic components are available today through the aftermarket but this was the scenario in 2006 for my sister

@innerlightfilms 7 месяцев назад

I'm very particular about cars I like. They have to tick off certain boxes. I'm like Gordon Murray when it comes to what I like. Its all about the driving experience. Horsepower is only part of the equation. Torque is probably more important to me, but also how you feel when driving the car is hands down all I really care about. The C4 90+ is like sitting in the cockpit of a fighter jet. The way the seats and dash wrap around you. The road feedback from the stiffer (but very capable) suspension and the quick steering. The later generations look better on paper, but driving them will show how much more fun the C4 is overall. This is why I bought a 93 ZR-1. Only because I cant afford a McLaren F1 or the new T.50.

Nice! I’m a hobbyist and picked up an original ‘95 C4 at an estate sale because I’ve never had a Corvette before and always admired the C4 from the first week they finally showed up in the local Chevy Showroom in 1984! My base LT1 is a marvel to drive! The 300 horses are totally sufficient to motivate this 3200 pound beast in all situations! Sitting down into the frame is an experience I’ve never had in a car before! You truly feel in total command and one with the machine! Not only is the mountain road handling spot on but this is by far the most comfortable highway sports/muscle car I’ve ever driven! Not sure how they accomplished this without adjustable computer assisted suspension but it is nothing short of awesome! As a hobbyist none of the gems I uncover stay in my garage forever but I must say this most likely won’t be my last C4! ZR1 is on my list! I’m 64 and the charm of these C4 Corvettes is they are raw enough to evoke the old school muscle cars I grew up on but new enough to be reliable and still very affordable! Clearly THE sexiest performance bang for the buck in the car world today! Hands down! Move fast to find yours because it’s almost impossible to find a super clean original for less then $10,000! 😅

I bought a C4 when I was like 18 and the C6 just came out a few years prior. Most of the corvettes were C5’s at the time, fun car but so many problems. Always wanted a C5 at the time so may buy one just to have.

@datruth9872 7 месяцев назад

Had all three, the one I kept was the C6 / 05. Just a magnificant car. Just a dream to drive. Powerfull , and trouble free driving. Just F.Y.I.

Tommy you chose correct when it come to price and performance.

Great Video! Thank you.

@varmastiko2908 5 месяцев назад

A good video for sure. You could, however, have covered cornering and handling differences some since these are sports cars.

My favorite was c3 which I finally got to own is 1970 stingray Donny brooke Green .beautiful curves but not fun to drive .looking to get c5 soon. love pop-up headlights

@kevindavis5966 7 месяцев назад

That's me exactly. I love the lines of the C3 as the most beautiful Vette ever, but they are absolute dogs to drive stock. I would only have one now as a restomod with modern drivetrain, suspension, brakes and steering. C4 LT4 is perhaps my favorite to own and cruise in, but you can't beat the raw power of the C6 LS7. That's why I have both.

Lots of good information 👍

The C4 had adjustable suspension with the Z51 package and also had keyless entry with the proximity unlock thing. 1994+ is the way to go when it comes to C4s unless you're talking ZR1s.

I’m lucky enough to have 2 C4s. A 91 ZR-1 and 96 LT4 Convertible. Both are great cars to drive and are just fun. Being older cars they do require a certain amount if maintenance as any older car does. These cars are a performance bargain. There are many well cared for examples out there if you’re looking for one.

Never really got into the C4. The later generation/update helped but my 88 Mustang LX coupe would beat my roomies vette more often than not...which made no sense. Plus you can almost see the lego interior squeak just watching this clip! Lol. They were so stiff, and therefore would drive you nuts with the flexing. The c5 however was a HUGE improvement and is my choice of the 3. The c6 is probably a better car but i could never warm up to the goofy lights. Looked like an afterthought. Having said all this - the c5 interior is little 'GM/pedestrian ' looking....but that's pretty minor as the car feels way tighter.

Also my c4 has the 3 settings for the suspension in 91

I’ve got an 85 c4 that I bought as a fixer upper for 2500. I’m all in at about 5k with more to go. It’s a fun car for sure but do yourself a favor and find a c4 that is in the best shape you can find for the money you can afford. I love the c4 styling over the c5 but I long for the daily reliability of a newer gen for sure.

@tonysteppan8495 7 месяцев назад

Amen to that! So true. Amazing how much you learn and do with a fixer upper. But once you get it running right. Man, it will be worth every penny to ya. Hope you get your 85 to that point.

I had a c4 once i was in love with it but one day my next one will be a c6 z06 its a dream of mine

@12:53 I’m pretty sure you can and will find a door latch… there should be one on the floor under the door incase the car loses battery power so you don’t get stuck inside

Love my 1994 vette, going to build a retro style Miami Vice theme now that it’s fully restored 🤍

@mikeydejon2148 7 месяцев назад

I have 85 c4 I’m 6”3 it’s a little tight lol beings the seats don’t lean back. I only drive to shows n around. Mine has mild cam aftermarket 195cc heads performer intake n Holley sniper efi. It really modernized it for around 4000 dollars

@caseymoore4759 7 месяцев назад

I’m currently shopping for a new weekend fun car. Torn between a c3 or c5. If I go c3 it’ll get a 383 stroller with tremec trans. If I go c5 it’ll get a A&A sc. two completely diff animals. Hard decision

@tmoney99296 5 месяцев назад

The latch is there on c6 in door frame rail for opening the door if battery dies with you in it there's a release hatch doors won't open without battery power on the c6
