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 $$$

1996 CE LT4 Coupe. LT4 @ 330HP is known to be conservatively rated. Many LT4's come in north of 360HP and will outperform %75 of newer LS1's. Not to be overlooked is, the C4 Corvette when released in 1984 was proclaimed to be; "The best handling production car ever produced" A beautiful car that still receives admiring glances.

Pros — LT4 Engine, Handling, Body Styling
Cons — Exit/Entry (High Sills), Instrumentation (although improved over earlier C4's), Torsional rigidity lacking with top off.

I bought my '96 Vette 2 & 1/2 years ago when it had 19,500 miles on it.  I've driven it over
4,000 miles, primarily on short trips and suburban driving.  It handles extremely well.  The
only objection would be "road noise."  But, hey, this is a true sports car.  Hence the driver
shouldn't be looking for quiet!
