LT4 motor - 345hp, 340ft-lb torque . 0-60 4.8 secs, 170 mph IN 1996!!
You can pick up a late C4 for 10k plus now.  LT4's are a little more but is still the best bang for buck out there.  Brutal acceleration, tons of torque, corners on rails and not a bad interior for a GM car.  Doesn't like bumpy road surfaces. Unmistakable V8 sound and road presence. The first 'modern' corvette.

Pros: Power, handling, looks, price
Cons: It's a GM.  You need to be good with a spanner or repairs can cost $$$

This car is just pure automotive excellence. It is what everyone on earth should drive; a fairly cheap car that has a good amount of power along with a lightweight cassis, oh and it must be RWD. If you ever get bored with a vette you are not a car guy, just a tool.  

Pros: Power, sleek, sexy, reliable, and more.
Cons: Very light so she gets a little loose with snow.

this car is fast at 80 mph it will still lay you back in the seat when you give it gas! no real problems with the car it is a very sound american made car. love the look also it is very sleek and definitely a head turner and it gets better gas mileage than the v-6 mustang that i traded for it!

Great Awesome Car!  Had a smile on my face everytim I got out of it.  Bone crushing acceleration, bladder emptying braking andg-suit requiring handling.  I've been a Corvette fan as long as I can remember and it was a dream come true to have not only one, but two!!

Pros: Fast, razor handling, dragster like acceleration, gorgeous, space ship cockpit
Cons: $2000 for a set of tires.  Oh well, I had to really stretch for a negative

It is a 1996 collector's edition there are a little over 5,000 ever made. It is undefeated on the street. It was great stock and now that i have modded it, it is even better. I don't race anymore on the street cause there is no body that can beat me out there.

Pros: everything
Cons: NONE

Coldest a/c system of any car I ever owned. White with black top and luggage rack. Car was fast and just glowed in the dark when she was all shined up.

Pros: Looks-well built, not a single rattle.
Cons: I wish I didnt sell it.
