Beautiful Car! — Just bought an '87 convertible. Z-52 suspension, loaded, drives like a dream and only 20,300 miles! A tight car red on red w/white top. You cant miss this coming down the street. This makes covette number 6 I've ownd and its possibly the best one!

Great Car — the engine was originally a tpi (fuel injection) system but it was then converted into a carb setup. this gave it a little more power and a better sound. this car is far from stock and far above any stock or slightly modified camaro and slaps mustangs around and makes them call it daddy.

A very fun car to drive.  Great for warm sunny days when the top can go down.

Cons

Power draw on the battery from the alarm system when the car sits in the garage for extended times.

A Lot Of Car For The Money. — The C4 is an all around fun car to drive. It handles very well. Has a responsive throttle and actually gets pretty good gas mileage even when cruising at 75 mph. Of the three Vettes that I own. I enjoy driving this one the most.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Cool Ride — I did this car up in 2003-2004. everything cosmetically has been upgraded or replaced. I like everything that I did to this car, from the color choice to the wheels. The all leather interior is soft and comfortable. Great Ride

Love It! — Love this car, all parts are available through the Internet. I feel good just sitting in the car. I would love to change the interior to white along with the convertible top. Thinking of making it newer with a kit.
