People tend to focus too much on horsepower, which comes into play at higher rpms and speeds. Low to mid range torque is king on the street from stoplight to stoplight, and these L98s made plenty of it.

[@nicholasmapes]

Also, what are you REALLY using the car for. Too much HP can make a car really unfun to drive in town. Like you said, light to light, this car is fun. Driving on the expressway, need to pass? Downshift and you pass without issue. Super fun to drive

I drive a c5 but I drove a few c4s before I bought it. I like the way the driver sits down in the car. It feels like a race car. I like the way the hood opens, showing the whole motor. The seats are snug like a race car. I like every generation, they were state of the art when they were new. I liked the video, thanks. (The music drove me nuts.)

Great car and great year. I recently bought a '94 convertible back in late December. You made a great choice in the 90 with the updated interior. Had a 1991 right off the lot years ago and finally got back to getting another one. Z51 is fantastic too. Great choice! Wife has a '12 5.0 Mustang and it will go but the Vette is just so much more fun to drive! Fun to see folks getting back into these cars! Thanks for the video and for sharing!

[@morecars324]

Thanks man! I love the convertible c4 I can see myself owning one eventually sounds like you have a nice ride on your hands. I agree with you there other cars may be faster but don’t give the same experience, I’m very thankful to the previous generation that preserved all these C4’s for people to enjoy .

Congrats on getting the Z51, and best of luck. I hope the low miles doesn't come with issues. I just picked up a 92, and have a similar double din in mind. A lot of pressure to "keep it original" and just go Bluetooth. Surprising, how many ppl see it as an issue.

Thanks! Yeah I’m very excited I was able to get a z51 non fx3 car. I’m kicking myself in the ass for throwing away the mint alpine head unit I pulled out of the car as it sounded great and was kinda cool looking but the Bluetooth and gps functions are nice too.

[@ryanmitton]

that is a very clean example of a legit z51 car. note to future viewers: the last quick ratio steering cars were very early 89's with z51 option. by june build dates in 89, no further quick ratio racks were ever installed. perhaps the corvette challenge cars. also note, z51 cars that were also optioned with the fx3 adjustable ride control were downgraded to the non z51 springs! including the anti sway bar springs. this is a huuuge consideration for buyers who are looking for a true track experience. the car posted here is honestly pretty rare nowadays. true z51 cars (non fx3) are what you want if you plan on track days or autocross. further note, the 1991 z07 cars, which took the place of the z51 option, not sure why gm changed that rpo, was an exception year where even the fx3 option cars had the stiff springs. only 91! hope this helps other newcomers to the c4 world. great video and that is a clean unique car in a great color! lets see more vids of this car

[@morecars324]

Thanks for the correction man that’s appreciated and also why I mentioned in the video I’m still learning a lot. I didn’t realize that change you mentioned, I know mine feels quick so maybe it’s a 13.5:1? I can get about 2.25 lock to lock. I was very pleased to find out this was a base z51 non fx3 when I showed up at the sellers house, the ride isn’t as bad on the street also I’m use to driving race cars that are a lot firmer. Thanks for watching I will be filming my first track day with it keep an eye out !

The 93 Z07 cars have quick ratio steering. I have two...and I had a 92 non Z07...big difference in steering.

2.2 is the “slow” rack. The fast rack is distinctly just less than 2 full turns. The slow rack is 2.2. I use a slow rack on all my cars for the track its fine. As for the comment about the z07’s, they did not come from factory with that rack.

Nice car. I was curious what you are going to do about the airbag when you change the steering wheel. I guess you could put antique tags on it because it probably won't pass inspection without the airbag. I'm 6"3 and I get what you mean about the wheel in the way.

[@morecars324]

Thank you! From what I read you can put a resistor in there to keep the light from coming on, the car does have antique tags on it so that won’t be a problem. My biggest decision is if I want a 350mm or 330. The 350 will be about 3/4 inch smaller all around

Good luck getting certain parts as they are 90 only. All C4s look cool but I passed on a 85 4sp with 32k miles in pristine condition because the transmission overdrive is a dinosaur junk piece. The only C4s that may be worth the money are 91 and up with 94-96 being the best.

I think 89-92 with the l98 are all pretty much the same car, I haven’t had any issues getting parts so far, a lot easier than the early 90’s Japanese cars I’m use to. I agree with you on the 4 speed that’s out dated.. so what is that much different about the 91?

It is ostentatious at best! I wish I knew how to do podcasts like you. I have a C4 base model that I drove 10,000 miles my first year of ownership in Michigan. Winter, Autumn, Spring and Summer. I loved it that much. I would still drive her except that her center LED doesn't always display and her turn signal switch has snapped making me unable to signal a left hand turn. I love this car. She fits my body perfectly.. but I cannot keep up with her minor problems.. so I cannot drive her as much as I would like to.

I bought a 40th anniversary about a year ago with 32086 miles in it. After driving it for 5 months the break master cylinder, and clutch slave and master cylinder went out because it never ran and the Dot 3 brake fluid ate up the lines.
