Not a new owner had it a few years now, it's my DD, 92 coupe, no real mods as of yet, have new seat covers, new stereo, and other minor mods planned when I get some down time.

Thanks to MeanZ06, I found this place, and I also have a C4: 1996 LT1 white, currently with ~90k miles. No mods, completely stock.

Mine's an 88 convertible, done everything I intend to, and now I'm just enjoying driving it. Only 65K on it so its not a daily driver, just whenever I feel like it. I'm retired now, so no plans on moving to anything else. Mods are in my sig if you'd like to check them out.
Here's a pic.

Had my 92 since early 99.
Had a 71 before that and picked up a 2003 convertible a few years ago. The 71 is long gone but the C4 and the C5 take up all the garage space now. The 92 has just a few minor mods and will stay that way. Last edited by Blue 92; 01-09-2011 at 5:58pm. |

Bought an '87 Vert back in 2001.
Had a lot of fun in it, went a lot of places, put about 60,000mi on it. Blew the motor at the drag strip and put it on jack stands in the garage with intentions to build a new motor for it. But as with most things, lack of funds and time never let me get anywhere with that. Finally sold it as is last year to a guy that planned to rebuild it and put it back on the road. Wifey and I decided we wanted to get back into the Vette scene this year and we started looking. I was about to pull the trigger on a C5 Z06, but things didn't work out. Actually a blessing in disguise as I found this over on that "other" Forum. I have ALWAYS wanted a Grand Sport "bleeder", but the prices were just more than I could justify. But then I saw this and could not pass. I have the best of both worlds now, my absolute favorite Vette paint scheme and an LT5...Life Is Good! And with a screen name like mine, I just can't see myself ever driving anything else, the 4th gens are in my blood. It's the generation of my youth, the car I dreamed of when I was old enough to drive. I'll keep this one until I can't fall in and out of it anymore. Oh and as for mods. I've been able to talk to a couple of the previous owners and found that this car has been to The Vette Doctors and received what they called their RX475 package. A lot of porting and polishing of the intake, bigger throttle body, custom prom and tuning. The one dyno sheet I got from the previous owner shows it made 405hp on a pretty rich tune. Right now I just want to get it on a dyno and get it tuned, lean it out a little and see what it will do.

I've only made it to the innaugural cruise and was driving a rental Saturn Sky at that one! Haven't been in the area to make one since. I just got the blue car at Thanksgiving, haven't had much time to drive it yet.
