1990 Chevrolet Corvette User Reviews

Great Car. Well Worth The $$ But Not For The Faint Of Heart — i once had a dream of owning a corvette. i spent my money on a porsche 944 instead. the porsche broke, and set the stage for my new story here... This car was hard to find, even in a highly urbanized area, finding a black corvette coupe with removable hardtop and six speed manual transmission was something of a miracle. i had to settle for one that wasn't a ZR1 (thank god. as much as i'd have liked one, turns out they don't make a lot of LT4 parts these days), and red leather interior. Looks good, actually, few dings on the paint (as can be understood from a car old enough to drink) but said interior takes some getting used to. Squeaks a bit sometimes, going over big bumps, but with over $4000 into sport suspension, it's my own damned fault for trying. Driving? there is no driving this car. It's more like wrangling than anything. not a car to own on a rainy day. if it snows? guess who's walking. this vehicle is aggressive, unforgiving, and acts like a jilted teenage girl on crack. It'll snap you around in a heartbeat just for thinking you had control. at least, untill you get used to it. Accelerating is an art. there is no Wide Open Throttle (WOT) on take off. if you try it, you won't go far, but you'll make some pretty smoke for a few minutes. with propper clutch control, however, it's possible to fire this 2600 lb vehicle to 60 mph at an astounding rate. i can honestly say this is one of the fastest cars i've ever driven, and by far the fastest i've owned. it pulls hard through first. through second, shift to third and feel it pulling. fourth gear is still rough, but i wasn't able to test it all the way through, going over a buck fourty at this point. with its six gears and a slightly modified (ha ha) v8, gas milage is actually not as bad as you'd think either. looking at 35+ highway, and 20+ city, it's almost twice as good as my camaro. now if i can just keep my foot off the pedal long enough to acheive such numbers for more than the week or two i took to test actual MPG. fixing this car? a headache at first, since it's all electrical and primitive at the same time. the good news is, there's no engine with cheaper parts than a good ol' bowtie 350. as long as it's a part for the motor, you can breathe a sigh of releif. if it's induction or chassis related... well it's a corvette. what do you think? handling is amazing and disappointing at the same time. This car is built for high speed turns and with a bit of practice, you can pull stunts that make every fastandfuriouswannabe jealous. the disappointing part? the fact that this car wasn't made for a parkinglot is painfully obvious when trying to get a spot. the turn radius is horrendus. there's been more than a few times i've wanted to just dump the clutch so i could whip out the back end and turn sharper. all and all, worth the money, but unless you're a hardcore driver or running from the cops, you'll probably want something else a bit less 'car.'

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

1990 Hard Top Convertible Corvette — I used this car for only driving the Miss Quartz Hills in parades and have not driven it for 3 years. It's salvaged title was obtained because the fiber glass was slightly damaged, I immediately had it repaired, it runs great and looks brand new.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

1990 Corvette C4 — 1990 Competition Yellow, C4, Greenwood ground effects, L98. This car is awesome. A real "eye catcher" and one fast machine. Handles great and lots of torque. Great performance, awesome sound, about 25 - 30 mpg. This car is a lot of fun to drive and show well at the car shows. Pros: Great Performance Cons: Nothing

I Just Got The Car And Love It Already — This car has what I alwyas wanted, stamina, sound and exquisite interior, a marvelous exterior and rich color

Loved It! — Owned for over 10 years loved it for the most part and I learned a lot about cars from working on it. Most issue were just do to wear as it had over 150K on it when I sold it. I and my son do miss it and I'll have to get another one down the road. I want something older next time though like a chrome bumpered C3 :D
