I am not a fan of the early ones, but I love the 91 and on redesigned ones.

My past C4's for reference.

93 LT1 auto

96 LT4 6 speed

That is all.

You don’t want to be my Sledgehammer?

The hood gets me every time

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > blacktruck18

I reeally want A green 6 speed C4, green with a tan interior.

I would take a Sledgehammer, because they’re amazing and the nose is different than the base C4's so they are better looking.

You don’t actually have a sledgehammer, do you?

I lover the GS’s too, but they are insanely expensive for paint and fender flares.

It’s even cooler from the inside.

No, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t looking for one. I’d settle for a Lingenfelter though.

Would never be able to replace the SL though....

When I was looking for my 96 I almost bought a green and tan one. The body was too rough though, it had super low miles and it was a great deal but it had lived outside it’s whole life.

Green is probably my favorite color after black for C4's.

Somebody posted one for sale in Indianapolis a while back, if only I had the room...

Dem pop up headlights

They are awesome, plus they are really effective on left lane hogs. Something about them popping up makes people think you are very serious when you flash them.

I’m really just searching for a 500SL Koenig Special.....lordy the want....

Kinja'd!!!

The wide fender kit is seriously like an additional 12" wider than the stock 500SL in the back. Rocket Bunny aint got shit on Koenig Specials.

As a 944 owner, I totally agree. Unfortunately, I feel like most Corvettes I see of this vintage tend to be winking at me or something.

That is beautiful, you definitely need one

I take a 1990 ZR1, I don’t really like the 1991 redesign.

This guy is my hero. I hope I too can one day be like him and have such a beautiful collection.

I mean when it is lifted up

Oh nice, 944's are the 2nd best pop up headlights. Everytime time I see a C4 with messed up headlights it makes me mad. It takes 5 minutes to change out the sprockets. It literally is harder to change the headlight bulbs than the sprockets. The parts are super cheap too, even the upgraded metal sprockets are less than $20.

Ya, it’s not really helpful from the inside when it’s up. They do look awesome up though.

I like the more rounded look of the later ones. The early ones are too 80's for me. Also I am not a fan of the contrasting belt line.

If someone gave me a 90 ZR-1 I wouldn’t be too mad. I would probably drive it.

Saw a Turquoise C4 at lunch today (not pictured). The weather was nice enough today to actually see one out (unusual for February).

One of my buddies in WA had a supercharged turquoise 92. The supercharger made up for the turquoise.

That sounds amazing.

I’ve always loved the 80's blocky-ness of it. I buy a old ZR1 in a heart beat.

First of all, I’ve said it before, but, why you sell LT4 CE?? That’s such a fucking sweet car.

Second of all, dooooo it

blacktruck18 > Tuned-Port-Injected-Rage
02/22/2016 at 22:49

I sold my CE because I am a stupid, stupid human being. That is the only car I have ever sold that I really regret. I think I spent more time looking for it than I owned it.

It seemed like the right thing to do at the time, it was the responible thing to do at least.

Personally, I like the Turquoise. However, I like ‘90s colors.

blacktruck18 > Boxer_4
02/22/2016 at 23:08

To me it’s not the worst color and it doesn’t look to bad. It just always reminds me of cheap souvenir jewelry.

02/22/2016 at 23:12

Damn :( Who knows, maybe another one will pop up again. I keep dreaming on finding an LT4 car for a reasonable price (even though it’ll never happen).

I’ve really been wanting a late C4. I’ve never owned one, but I do love them.

It’s possible, if you look on cars.com there are some deals to bad had.

blacktruck18 > shop-teacher
02/23/2016 at 08:14

They’re a blast, and for the money a nice LT1 car is pretty hard to beat in the performance per dollar category.

This fall, after I sold my ‘74 Buick Apollo and I had a bit of money burning a hole in my pocket, there was a nice white ‘93 with a 6-speed that was available for slightly less than the size of the wad in my pocket. It was damn tempting, but I ended up spending a fraction of it on my ‘94 Roadmaster wagon. Not nearly as much fun, but I do love it and with the kids I get to drive it a LOT more than I would’ve been able to drive the Vette. I used the rest of the cash on responsible adult things (blah!).

blacktruck18 > shop-teacher
02/23/2016 at 09:36

Oh ya, I forgot you got the Roadmaster, how is that going? I love B-Bodies, I will probably own one some day just to scratch that itch.

shop-teacher > blacktruck18
02/23/2016 at 11:16

I absolutely LOVE it. It’s not fast, but it’s got enough low end torque to put a grin on my face. The interior quality is quite frankly crap, but it’s incredibly comfortable and effortless to drive. Hopefully I can get the AC working on it before summer comes, because I want to keep driving it.

Mu grandpa had a Roadmaster sedan when I was a teenager, I used to love driving it. A twin turbo ls swap Roadmaster sedan is definitely on my powerball dream car list.

shop-teacher > blacktruck18
02/23/2016 at 13:44

Nice! I’d send a Roadmaster wagon to ICON to get their full treatment if I won powerball :)

Although I wouldn’t send the one I’ve got now, too rusty.

blacktruck18 > shop-teacher

Send the rusty one they can save it.
