Well boys... I'm C4-less + Bonus C5 coverage
The deal was just made and the '96 is going to a new... errrr... old home. She's going back to the previous owner, Shrek. Meet the new track car to be. Work starts NOW to get her ready for next year. I've had a good number of cars in my life but I don't think I'll ever have another quite as fun as the old C4. |

So should I be sorry or happy for you? It certainly was a beautiful car.

These things are street legal bumpy cars. The new Vettes don't ride like that, they are better technology, but feels weird if ever own a C4. Bryan, If the Z becomes a race Vette, will you buy a street Vette? |

Well,,, condolences and congratulations!! I enjoy my C6 just as much as my C4 just in different ways if that makes sense. And don't worry, if you start to have withdrawal cravings Jon should make a good support sponsor.

So you gave up the C4 to feel the comfort of the C5 as you float down the track. You can admit it, you are channeling your inner Taurus.

I might down the road. When I originally bought the Z06 I fully planned on turning it into a track car. When the time came, I didn't have the heart to cut it up. At the time, it was my daily driver which didn't help (I also had an old Yukon) I found the '96 and the rest is history.
With the new 3500 Denali taking care of the DD duties, I have a little more room to play with the Z06 without worrying about ruining it as a driver although for the time being I am going to keep it mostly stock other than the safety goodies. I haven't decided yet whether it is getting a roll bar or a full cage yet. Eventually I would like to take it door to door as an ST2 car. Hell, I can have the radio and A/C kicking and do it in comfort. |

Lumps ...and bumps! Congratulations! Can you give us pix of the process of the transition? Like in a thread of it's own? I think that would be a great thing to see what goes out, how it goes out and how things are changed around... |

If you get too many cars, you can spread yourself thin and never drive the extra one. The new owner will have some enthusiasm to fix up some of the things it probably needs and you get a chance to do something different.
I bought my C4 on a dare as a cheap DD, but ended liking it. |

After yesterday, I wish I were C4 less....or had a stick of the other C4. Got a tow truck coming to take mine home today. Glad I have more than one vehicle....
And man, I want a C4 that looks like yours did, just a little more stock/streetable. That is one of my favorite C4s... |

Well Bryan, I always enjoyed your racing vids in your C4. Always gave us lowly C4 owners a lift to see you passing newer and faster cars
Glad the new owner is still going to track it and continue to do us proud................ right Shrek?? |

Sorry to see that car go......
I would have loved to have bought it. the new track car looks like a very good start. Any paint scheme decided on yet? |

The new track car is the '02 that I have owned since '05 and used as a DD for most of that time. It has some small issues but should be a nice start. If I decide to go all out on another track car I'll probably do the smart thing and buy an old T1 car as a base with all of the good stuff already taken care of. I think the paint scheme is exactly what you already see. Some of us don't have the means to put a NCRS worthy paint job on by ourselves. |
