Not in the market to buy, but I have always liked them. Lotsof good high school memories beating around in Vette's but I never really knew anyone that found a good balance between handling, speed and style.

I have driven a million of them and I know the c5+ is just light years better in nearly every aspect, but for some reason I still love the last style C4's.

Id like to know about some high hp, very good handling c4's.

 

[brewster]

I like C4's also, but I don't really know anything about them, so not much help here.

 

[Mr. Wob]

yeah i mean i know plenty about them, but yet I really never hear info on any tuned ones. Id love to see a 600hp c4 with the proper suspension mods to it but I just dont hear about it.

This is a great forum:

Just ask the experts. There are some VERY cool write ups on twin-turbo ZR-1 projects as well as Callaway twin-turbo C-4s over there. The ZR-1 guys have to give an arm and BOTH legs to seriously mod their cars!! There is a guy over in TX that prowls around in a Callaway with something like 550 RWHP/750 RWTQ (a couple years ago, maybe more now) and he has been known to wax some very fast cars over there.

Auto or stick? The ZF 6-speed tranny is VERY strong. The TH700R4 auto trans alllllways needs to be modified.

I have been involved with, helped build, driven, and raced many, many C4 Vettes. They have a special place in my heart. I still think the body lines are sexier than a C5 or fugly C6.

Good friend of mine has a uber-clean stock-appearing 1996 Gran Sport C4 that runs 10's with heads, cam and spray. Fun car!

I've always been in love with vettes, particularly the 90-95 ZR1s.

you like C4's but you hate mk3 supras? Weirdo :freak:

 

[Gleason]

good performance for the time, but i just can't get over thier nasty looks. especially the stock wheels.

rims that look like hub-caps.. nice one GM.

 

[twinturbozs]

I think the body style is very dated. even the C5's are looking that way already.

 

[cds01]

the body style is quite dated, but the gran sports are HOT

 

[brewster]

Who cares if they look dated. For example: 67 Camaro's look quite dated, but they are the hotness.

actually 6speed. it was the silver anniversarry edition LT4 Vette. forgot what year anniversarry...but the trannys kept droppin on that car and i did run into a few other owners of the same type of Vette that had the same problem. either way ive always been a Corvette fan...Grand Sport is still one of my fav Vettes

 

[MixMasterP2k3]

I myself love the c4's, but then again I have a soft spot and respect for the old school. I plan to buy an old vette eventually, they are just too sexy.

 

[FYRARMS]

you like C4's but you hate mk3 supras?

Yep. I also like '05 Mustangs but I hate C6 Vettes. What's your point?

Weirdo

I have hardcore pictures of your ex-girlfriend. Now you are NEVER getting them...

The LT4's only came with the 6-speed.

'96 IIRC.
Wob: I know Lingenfelter created a black 383 C4 that ran high 11s in the quarter and hit 1.0g on the skidpad. It had a set of Fikse wheels...aww man, I was in love. It was tested in a MotorTrend mag, against a Hennessey Viper Venom 600, Kenne Bell Cobra, DC Sports NSX, a supercharged Techart Carrera, and a Renntech CL700. This was March of.....97....i think.... :dunno:

Do you have any pictures of said GS? Glad to see I'm not the only person in this thread who thinks the C4 looks better than the C5

well c4's and mk3s look a lot alike, and they were direct competition.

mustangs and vettes are a poor comparison.





have fun with those pics ya dirty old man :stickpoke

 

[amakusa]

i too love the C4s. i REALLY like the interiors a lot more than the C5s too. more cockpit like, so damn low to the ground. i thought the C4s had a great suspension as well.
