Since you had a 95 did they have the transmission on the back or that happened after the C5?

[@DominicGholson]

@@TomTheCat. The transaxle design with the transmission started in the C5 Corvette. The C4s, like this car, are just your standard front engine with the trans directly connected. However they still drive amazing!

[@TomTheCat.]

@@DominicGholson Ah I see thanks for the answer.

[@5abivt]

@@DominicGholson nothing ‘just standard’ about putting the trans up front. Many cars including the viper, which destroyed the later corvettes on the track have their transmission there. The c5s and on did that to increase the interior compartment. Which is great for big old retired guys. Many racers including Mario Andretti commented how he disliked the trans in the rear due to the pendulum effect.

@@5abivt I refer to it as the standard, because it is the standard in the automotive industry. Most cars dont have a transaxle. However im pretty sure in the c5s case it help balance out the weight distribution as well.

I'd love to find a 96 for $7k like the one in the video, those were the creme de la cremes of the C4s (excluding the ZR1s). Chevy took all of the upgrades over the 90s and put them in the 96 and made it a final edition worth owning.

C4 Corvettes are one of the best values out there. I picked up a mint 1992 LT1 Convertible with 45,000 original miles out of a private Corvette collection for less than $10k. Coupes go for significantly less. Babied examples are quite reliable with the 5.7 motor and either transmission. Many experts think the market will only strengthen for the clean C4s in coming years.

Other than that we don't have traffic problems emissions really is a money grab for the state our Air Quality levels are still very good quality. Like 2 counties in the whole state required them and they have done away with those in the last 3 years because of the improved air quality with all the vehicles with Emissions systems on them and they don't pollute nearly as much.

I have an 84, and it is more than enough to brighten my day when I take a drive.

The front end literally scooped him up and spun him over the car. I was trying not to go off the road and down an embankment, however I could feel his hoof brush by my head. I thought the front end would be damaged, but no, no damage at all, just some brown and white hair stuck in the opening of the headlight and a scuff on the bumper. Corvettes rock!

"There are 70 year old men that drive like lunatics too". Says Scotty Kilmer, whose intro always features him NAILING it!. No disrespect Scotty. I'm older than you, and I'm known to nail it on occasion myself. Difference is I gave up motorcycles many years ago. No guts.

[@onlygearwarrior]

Eh, not so sure that was him driving. Maybe but I'll bet he respects his customers cars.

I'm 71 and I still have trouble keeping that 17 year old part of me put away. Oh, by the way, I still ride the Goldwing to work every day ( when the weather permits).

Wow, that thing is in phenomenal shape.. And the crystal white LEDs just make it look even better with it being silver on silver

That shinny silver thing on the door sill by the seat is AFTERMARKET. So funny he's banging on it calling it "original" all while slamming "aftermarket" junk, when that silver door sill IS AFTERMARKET!!!! Haha.

I bought a 90 corvette for my daily a few years back and I completely LOVE my vette! Happily, we have no emission laws here on Maui either and a vette sounds amazing straight piped.

[@nsflarna]

Are we all ignored the fact that that Corvette is AUTOMATIC ??????

[@zoezzzarko1117]

Done. I'm out.... 😂🤣😋

[@stuartbear922]

In big engined America cars, I prefer the automatic. Stick shift cars aren't always the best choice. The clutches are heavy and the gear linkages are clunky.

[@nsflarna]

@@stuartbear922 you won’t daily drive a corvette, so for a weekend car it makes no sense to get a automatic especially when it’s that old

[@Torred_6.1]

@@nsflarna believe it or not I actually daily drive it. I go through a decent amount of stand still traffic so Manual wouldn’t be too fun then but I plan on getting a 6 speed c4 sometime in the future

can always throw the engine out and put in a toyota 2jz engine and transmission into it

[@TheCustomEverythingChannel]

I've had plenty of 99 to 01 expeditions the most minor issues ur gonna have is spark plugs blowing out the heads and coil packs going out and timing guilds waring out. Only major issue is on the higher mileage ones the overdrive Servo will come apart and all u will have is reverse and 1st and 2nd gears. So after every oil change check each spark plug make sure they are all tight. Oh almost forgot the heater cores are very bad to stop up. I have a video in my channel showing how to clean them out

[@stuartbear922]

Happened to a friend of mine . The spark plug blew out.

[@troyfarris8963]

just had a 01 f150 5.4 blow the plug and coil come apart allowing fuel to spray out and catch fire.. total loss

When my dad was in his 60s, he bought a Corvette. I'd come to visit from out of town and needed a car. He actually let me drive it! (Helps that I was an OTR coach bus driver.) Told me to park it in their driveway, all sorts of instructions, this was HIS baby. Okay dad, I'll call you when I get there. (This was the 80s, no cell phones). Dad had his love affairs with cars, for the longest time, he maintained 3 cars. He and mom can only drive 2 at a time! He kept them so that each of us kids would inherit one after they passed. Always a full-sized semi-luxury car, a sports car and a truck. At the time of their passing, there was a Ford Five Hundred, a Dodge Dakota and a Jaguar.

[@frugalfun8467]

My favourite Corvette is the one that was styled like a mako shark(I think). I cant remember what year, but it was an old one, probably late 60s or early 70s. Need to do some research....but classic American sports car nonetheless! Edit:just did a quick google search, the 69 Corvette was the shape that sticks in my memory. Those wheel arches....mmmmm....😍

[@charlesgates2908]

My granny had a 76 olds delta 88 royal 350 rocket. She had few wrecks before she quit driving and each wreck she was the winner. I bought the car in 92. Well made vehicle.

[@michaelthebarbarian3380]

A C4 Corvette, (especially an 89 and up with the Glorious ZF6 6 Speed Trans) is the pound for pound champ when it comes to fun project cars. Even the top performers like the ZR-1 and the LT4 cars can be found for under (even well under) 20k. But as we Gen Xers get older, and they remember these things hanging on their walls and being featured in music videos... and we gen Xers start to reminisce... they are starting to be scooped up. I got a 10k mile Comp Yellow LT4 car that I adore. Great video as always Scotty!

If I lived in the USA I would have one of these in my garage. One of the most beautiful Corvettes ever made. And it's a pretty cool car. Unfortunately, Portugal is one of the worst countries in the world to buy a car.
