Already did unfortunately:/

Definitely, pretty easy on gas and seem to last a long time, sporty and easy/cheap to get parts for.

Thanks very much truly, so true with newer cars and being charged a hefty sum for a better color, a shame :/ That 2009 S sounds awesome, do wish the 99 was a manual but still enjoyable to cruise in.

Thank you very much:)

Feel exactly the same way as you my friend, you know it's done right if you did it right yourself🤝 Had an 89 Z51 6 speed, sure loved that car, learned how to wrench myself because I couldn't afford to pay someone to haha. I hope your health improves too by the way, I am sorry. Had some sciatic nerve pain go to my left hip 3 months back, wasn't able to do anything, hope the best for you, will say a prayer as well.🙏🇺🇲🏎

As far as OEM I'm not sure sorry, but Rain-X makes some awesome ones, get the highest price ones, Rain X silicone, they are fantastic, and last forever, think they're about $60 for a set but so worth it. Advance Auto Parts carry them, or Ebay. OEM size calls for 19 inch both sides but if necessary get an inch shorter each, should be ok with 19's, have seen some sites say 20, that's probably the problem, too long I think.

Hahaha, I like your way of putting things. Know what you mean:) The GR is a good car for sure, only warning I'd say though is that the ride will definitely be more harsh than your BMW, at least at first. But after about 1k miles it feels much better, and smoother riding. Really appreciate it by the way, thank you as well my friend, glad you liked the video and great comment, really enjoy talking with other enthusiasts🤝

Right on my friend, and congrats! You're already starting off better than I did, I had a basketcase 1984 LOL. So the door panel if the new clips are able to be secured well I'd just re use that if it's in nice shape, did just see a nice see through targa on a C4 Facebook forum for $500 shipped, they varied a bit but might fit your 96 (great year C4 btw) If not try Ebay, sometimes great deals pop up on all kinds of C4 parts. Also get on C4 forums on Facebook, tons of good parts there, just do Paypal only, no friends and family so you're safe from scams. A fellow Ohioan huh, it has it's ups and downs, thankfully I don't drive like a lot of them xD As far as the speakers/amps go it can get expensive to replace em all etc., I've only had to replace the control unit but if you're not too concerned about keeping it all original I'd wire the speakers to an aftermarket head unit, if not have a stereo shop with experience do it:) Throttle body will give you a few hp and better response, I love LT1's too, had a 94 Z28 6 speed that was a lot of fun.

@Feral80sKid Thank you. I'm thinking of a relens, but I would be without a targa roof for about 10 days due to shipping back and forth to Melrose T Tops in Illinois. I'm taking the left speaker out, and maybe I can hope for a loose wire 🙂 I need to look into the door panel again. I hear it clip each time I push it back. I'd like to see a video on repairing door panels on a '96 C4. I'm looking for more videos on C4's from you. Thank you.

You're welcome:) Hopefully it's just a loose wire🤞 maybe worst case just that amp. I don't usually do more than one video for a car but C4's are special to me too, I'll see what I can come up with. A clip or 2 may be worn down, hopefully that's all it is.

Right on brother:) it is a pretty neat car, if you get one new it will ride pretty rough at first, but it does smooth out quite a bit after about 500 miles. It is like a big toy, definitely will make you feel like a kid lol

Thank you very much

Thanks much:) had to sell that at the time, missed it ever since, had another 2004 GTS with the OEM TRD body kit, more miles than this one but looked super cool. Still looking for a good deal on one now if I can find it, and this time I can keep! ;D

Thanks so much my friend, means a lot to me:) Glad you enjoyed it

Used to pass a red C4 everyday on my way to high school every morning:) I hear you, you'd be surprised though, there's always a good deal on a C4. Once you get your license comment on here, I'll send you a link to one👍

@@Feral80sKid Ty man, will do :)

Forgot to say but that may be awhile -.-

All good I'll be here homey:)

Comments like this are my favorite part of this channel, good info and accurate 100% from someone who has had many C4's❤️🇺🇲 Those LT4's are animals lol. Had a good friend who had a lot to drink one night and I was the only one he'd let drive his 96 LT4, he told me go ahead and punch it, that motor is SO underrated haha, loved it. And thank you so much for your kindness, glad you liked the video:) I STILL haven't driven an LT1 Corvette but had a 94 Z28 with a 6 speed, love the torque curve, they pull hard to about 6k, you may have just talked me into getting an lt1 C4 hahaha, thanks again for the awesome comment, this is one of my favorites 🤝

That is one awesome first Corvette, congratulations my friend! They are amazing, fun, nimble little cars

Agreed, love the styling on the body. One of the best looking cars ever IMO.

Thank you very much for the love, really means a lot to me. Definitely agree on the overhyped stuff 😄🤝 The GR is definitely cool, it's so unique and good looking with the styling, and a blast to drive. Cool that you're into the V8 stuff as well, I'm like you, love all cool cars, very gracious for your subscribe and comment, love talking cars with others:)

Thank you much:) Does handle nice and breaks up the monotony of SUV's on road haha

Hahaha, yeah we hate the roundabouts too, unless we're in a sports car with no traffic LOL. I'd say 7th kind of lugs unless you are 75mph+, you'd definitely fall in love with a C7, probably the best bargain for all it does performance-wise, quality is much better than previous gens too, nice leathers, panels etc.

Thanks so much my friend :D Most definitely, and sorry about the crappy view in the video, gonna remake it again soon.

Thanks my friend, definitely ❤️🤝

@Feral80sKid I wait for next video my friend. Grettings from Greece 🇬🇷 🤝

@DimoS... Ahhh nice! Good to have a friend there, love Greek history:) Have quite a few cars on here you may enjoy. 1982 280zx Turbo, a GR Corolla, a 240Z I built myself (my only full build lol), and some neat American cars, 2021 Camaro ethanol tuned, C7 Corvette manual.

@Feral80sKid I am very glad for your opinion my friend. All the cars are amazing, but the 2zzge is a big favorite. For sure this American cars is crazy beasts

@DimoS... Nice, I have to admit when that GTS winds up it sounds AMAZING, I remember when they came out, wanted one bad but couldn't afford it :/

Ah ok, appreciate the info. Smart moving it under the seat, much better than under the already tight under dash area.

@@Feral80sKid - not under the seat, behind it in the cargo area. one of the bins got partially taken up by it. the other being completely taken up by the ABS system. It's in with the jack.

@mhicks5008 Nice

😂I'd almost rather walk lol

Mate I've been there myself lol, had an 84 which was my first Corvette, feel your pain, total respect to you for doing it yourself, gotta start somewhere:) Thanks very much as well, so you have a 1990 in the UK??

@@Feral80sKid Yeah - one of the few - can't remember when I last saw one on the roads over here. Definitely worth saving! I've also got an 88 Iroc-Z with the 5.0TPI which I got when I was over in Germany. Working on that car gave me the confidence to tackle this one. I'll post a video of the Vette sometime........take care

@fm5480 Brother that is AWESOME, and you have some of the best country driving roads in the world, so cool. I haven't seen many, if any Polo Green 1990's even here, has to be pretty rare. Glad you are saving the car and fixing it up, cheers my friend! Love Irocs by the way, had an 89 350tpi, pretty rough but still a great driving car, black on grey.

Would love to see a vid of yours, and if you have questions we can share tips, love the Iroc Z, had an 89. You have some of the greatest country roads there I envy you! Just awesome

@@Feral80sKid I was lucky enough to spend some months in SFO in the early 2000's - you have some pretty epic roads over there too. We do have some good roads here - but I live up north - Let's say overheating isn't generally a problem 🥶😆 Here's a short of the IROC - ruclips.net/video/hsRttyRekRY/видео.html hope it brings back some memories!

Nice, I bet it sounds sweet. The 6 speed is a great ZF transmission, and that is also a great looking color, that has to be a rare combo as well. With you 100% on the only year with older exterior, newer interior, I just love that about the 90, love the wheels as well:) Definitely easier to work on then I first thought years ago, was kind of intimidating at first lol, and thank you very much by the way🤝

I love the body but, it is claustrophobic.

For sure:) 🤝

Definitely, love seeing the red fenders while driving too.

Definitely:) It sure was a big jump all around from the C3.

Thanks for the superb vid. From north Aurora Illinois

Your baby runs great.

@@garypiont6114 Thanks very much, I know it's low tech, not a RUclips pro but definitely love these C4's, and love making vids and talking to you all.

Dang, nice! The 7.0 liter 505hp, one of my favorites. Top Gear UK did a test on one around their track, they....and I was amazed at the cars it beat costing at least twice as much.

Awesome, first time I drove a C4 it was an 86 with the 4+3, belonged to a good friend of mine, fell in love with C4's after that , super t10 with overdrive, LOVED the way it shifted.

I hear you, I do LOVE the lt1 and all but I just love the look of the tpi, really cool looking, and for sure a lot of things are easier to fix. I love all Vettes too but like you the C4 is just right for my budget, interest rates are ridiculous right now so I won't do a loan. There are really good deals sometimes on them too:)

Thanks very much my friend, 100% agree on the factory bose system, they sound phenomenal for being 34 years old, just gonna have my factory unit redone. Would love to hear about yours as well, appreciate it and you take care too🤝

Thanks so much for that, trying to get better at the videos:) The C7 is beyond excellent in every way, and you have the ultimate LT1, Grand Sport with a manual! Just awesome❤️🤙 Really appreciate the comment my friend

I had a friend that let me drive his lt4 6 speed, that is one awesome ride, super quick. Man I'm excited for you too, congrats! Enjoy the ride, really happy for you brother🤙

Thank you very much❤️🤝

Hahaha😄😂🤣

Sure loved this one too optioned the way it is, with a 6 speed manual❤️

NICE, I love the ZF 6 speed in the C4, they shift so nice and smooth, and clutch feels perfect, congrats my friend, color combo definitely works for me:) As far as parts suppliers keep an eye out on Ebay and Facebook marketplace often, you'll be surprised, and Mirrock Corvette for used stuff. New parts are Corvette Central, Mid America etc., same to you, enjoy the ride!

@@Feral80sKid Thanks! I’ll let you know how the car is after the purchase later this week. I hope to have it in my garage a week from today. We'll see... ;-) Jim

@@jimmerriman6920 Any time, heck yeah look forward to hearing about it, lt4 is an animal lol

Nice, the 403 is a very reliable motor. Dad had a 79 silver anniversary TA with the 403, it wouldn't quit lol, they sound really good too.

@@Feral80sKid : I sold that '77 in late 1980 when gasoline prices were going crazy.

Bro great comment, you said it perfect, and thanks so much. Told dad IF he sells it I get first chance lol. Enjoy that C7, just an incredible car all around😎🤝

You are correct, but GM did rate it at 250hp with the performance exhaust in 1990.

Z 51 with performance rear end was rated at 250 hp

I had an 89 Corvette, Z51 M6, good year. Wheels were very similar except 89's had centercaps, held on by a screw. Can't go wrong with the A-molds though. I wonder if some late 89's came with the later 1990 wheels?

These wheels were a one-year-only (1990) offering. '88 and '89 Z-51/Z-52 came equipped with "smoothies" with centercaps...

I had an 88 too with the standard one year only wheels (base), hadn't really seen those before owning it, can't imagine they were very popular lol

@@Feral80sKid I see what you mean, very small discrepancy but definitely different, My apologies, great looking car!!

@nikeiddude123 No worries at all! And thank you very much, means a lot:)

Did not know that, really cool, always appreciate good info, thanks :D

Haha true, already have. Agreed, it's such a neat car:) Some things are tricky but mostly C4's haven't beat me up too bad to work on, just hated doing a heater core on an 88 Vette I had, didn't remove the dash just worked under it.

Thank you so much my friend, means a lot to me❤️🤝
