What are you plans for your C4?
I figure, we always talk about when did we find our C4s; Why did you buy a C4?
My question is; What are we planning to do with our C4s? Silver 96: Keeper, I built this baby and I'm extremely proud. I foresee this one becoming a 396+ within 4 years. DRM 95: Its for $ale, $10,500 FIRM. There is no for sale thread or classified but, I have no need for two Vettes. I would like to own a Silver C6 Z06 someday! |

1995 ZR-1...hoping they are worth something more down the road, but I plan to drive it and keep it nice
Red LT4 ragtop...drive the hell out of it! Yellow LT4 ragtop...afraid to drive it honestly. Too nice of a car and way too rare in my book. |

Bought Marco bone stock with 60K on it. The plan is simple....keep it bone stock, and drive it till the wheels fall off. Then put them back on and repeat.
People talk about resale value....this car will be salvage when I'm done with it. I'm gonna squeeze out everything it has to offer. |

not sure yet. (1991 ZR-1)
could keep it clean and low miles to preserve the money I have in it, possibly to get it back in the future or... I could just thank the previous owners for only putting 26k miles on the car saving it just for me (and eating the depreciation on the orig $60k price). could drive about $5-$10k out of it and then see what I want from there. anyways, i get it on Sunday. Already ordered a new set of tires for a car I don't even have yet |

In the near future as soon as they get the 2 foot of snow off the roads I would like to drive it. Only have 10 miles on new motor. Maybe this spring a new set of wheels to give it a different look. Have no intentions of getting rid of it. Have been semi looking at a 69 or 70 for awhile.

No competition, just some weekend racing at Miller Motor Park. I got my hands on a 96 6 speed coupe rolling chassis, need to get it up here from Vegas. I'm planning on getting the stroker's bottom end beefed up, get it breathing better and have it balanced before starting on the chassis. Should be fun.

I was just going to keep up the maintenance and do some bolt on mods exhaust, cold air, wheels. Stuff like that, the car only has 34k on the OD so I don't really feel the need to mess with the internals unless something falls in my lap. I would like a lift in the next 5 years or so.

Since the brake swap is completed...
12" wide rims (to fit under) New custom rear fender flares Some sort of motor enhancment... Blower (or) h/c/i stroker... (what ever I decide when the time comes) Bumpers, pass. door, and fenders need to be touched up and painted. New leather on the seats... And I think Im toked for now. Its my grocery getter , track start, show car, night out on the town, EVERYTHING car... So as long as its reliable Im pretty much happy with it |

My 90 is very much a keeper, I am very happy with her. Evn though the Vette has fairly low mileage for the age I'm planning on taking care of some minor issues and just keep on enjoying my Vette.
