pics of the vette!

Surprisingly this one was the highest mileage of the ones I owned, but the tightest of all of them. The previous owner had really pampered the thing though. The main reason I sold it is because the a/c system in c4's sucks. It will get plenty cold, but does not put out nearly enough volume to cool off the interior. I had longtubes with no cats and a tune, otherwise it was stock. It would run mid to high 12's pretty consistently. It was a z51 car, so it would beat you up on the bumps too. We took it on one trip and my wife was sick of it by the time we got home. It was a fun toy but I'll never own another z51 c4 for a daily driver. I'd consider another but it would need to be a base suspension car. Much more comfortable.

Mine was a Z51 car too, never had a car ride that badly before or since. Mine was stock with a 125 shot on it. Ran good, beat things it probably shouldn't have. Would likely never own another C4 period, but I did like looking at it in the driveway though.

I had that exact same car, with about the same miles on it when I got rid of it. I would not want that car back. Looked good, but the miles really added up on that thing and they weren't kind to it.

Looks good! The c4 is a fun platform. I've owned 8 of them and all were very reliable fun cars. My last was a grand sport. With 125k on the clock I got $12,500 for it. I gave it away to get into a 2011 Mustang. I wish I could get it back. Alot of car for the money and very rare.

The best looking C4 every built. That is what got me into corvettes.

Umm I don't follow. Joke at me or someone else?

Yeesh. That joke is older than this message board has been around.

Friend of mine got a '96/not GS/with M6= LT4 engine. Stock it was in the high 12's at 110 with drag radials and low 13's at 112 with street tires. The LT4 Vettes were beasts.

Looks good cobraman. I wish had a vette like yours when I was 18

Seems kinda funny second-guessing one of the fastest, sneakiest street cars ever built.

That's bullshit.


















Because dville gt didn't tune it!

[SS Junk]

My exact thought. Seems like he knows wtf he is doing.

I don't know how it is routed beyond what is seen. Perhaps the intercooler is taller than the radiator therefore they are fastened just below the radiator? The point is the downpipes are not directly below the intake, and it's unknown if that part of the intake is even plastic...

[dville_gt]

BTW.. I don't believe those are downpipes under the intake, but rather inlets plumbed into the intercooler.

You can see the filter up behind the bumper, those inlet pipes must wrap around and go up to behind the front number on each side to the filter. It just looks weird because you can only see the downpipe wrapping back around up by the filter.

I would be concerned about the bushings in the front suspension with their proximity to the turbo flange however.
