Some interesting Quirks about the C4 (1984-1996) Corvette

Here are some quick basic quirks Ive noticed about the C4 corvette after about 2 weeks of ownership

[@CsaW4rri0r]

Nice car. A true 80's icon. Love the digital dash.

[@rogerrabbitonpcp6021]

I want one so badly

[@donleblanc7223]

Great video and great looking Vette w/ the upgrades. Thanks for bringing up the caution about closing the doors when closing the hood, I only wish that the previous owners did that before I bought my '93.

[@rogermouton2273]

I have a 91 in the same colour. Overall, best car I've owned. Fun factor 10.

[@CaptainThirdGen]

nice!

[@ericwilson2585]

That's a very nice example C4 Corvette. I really like the black and blue color combination, you really don't see that combo often.

[@CaptainThirdGen]

thanks. The color combo was one of the main things that sold me on it

I have a mint all documented 40k miles 1964 Sting Ray 327 / 365hp L76 motor close ratio Muncie 4 speed. Wifey has a 95 convertible with rare hard top option from factory, 32k miles. I have a 96 coupe with the Z51 handling package. 22k miles. Love the C4s drivability love cruising to all the weekend car shows here on the South Carolina Coast. We love Vettes and classic cars. Wifey also has a 63 T Bird all original 65k miles. Good luck with your new ride...

[@CaptainThirdGen]

sounds like a nice collection you guys have. Thanks for watching! The car should be coming out of winter storage in the next few weeks

[@JOHNTSHEA]

Lovely car. The E-Type Jaguar had a similar big clam-type hood and several modern Volvos have transverse rear reinforced plastic mono-leaf springs.

[@CaptainThirdGen]

thanks! Lots of older FWD GM cars also had transverse mono leafs in the rear. Kind of a cool setup

[@mralex-yv6nj]

I was totally tripped out, the exterior looks like its from the mid to late 90s, but the interior looks like a 80s type deal😂 even the black strip down the middle of the side of the car isnt there. Very unique car

[@CaptainThirdGen]

yeah it really seems to throw people off

[@alvinprettyman1802]

thanks for posting enjoy your corvette

[@CaptainThirdGen]

thanks for watching! I am anxiously awaiting getting it back on the road this spring. Winter can end any day now!

[@TheFirstCause]

Thanks for posting this! I'm looking to get a C4 Corvette this spring. I'm actually looking at a blue one just like this right now. The paint gives it a surprisingly moderning look similar to Ford Lighting Blue on the Mustangs.

[@CaptainThirdGen]

thanks for watching. the medium blue is very cool. Especially in the sun. I hope you enjoy yours!

[@sandorspalms]

I was thinking of selling my 02 Mustang GT this spring and buying a C4. Never owned a Corvette so looking forward to it. Thanks for the video

[@CaptainThirdGen]

Im a new c4 owner as well. I like it a lot. Very unique car

[@aidanolson142]

Love the color! Nice ride.

[@CaptainThirdGen]

thanks, Aidan!

[@shawnheerasingh6178]

Another cool feature of the c4 is the wiper controls is on the drivers door

[@CaptainThirdGen]

yep! I had never seen that on another car until I bought this one and drove it in the rain lol. Took me a minute to find them

[@Thirdgen83]

I like the '93-'96.

[@michaelm3381]

I like the idea of the hidden gas cap in the center, but I've always wondered if gas will drip on the paint. That would be my biggest concern.

[@CaptainThirdGen]

yeah its always a game of being really careful to let it drip as much as possible before moving the pump nozzle. I get nervous about it too

[@87camro]

That’s a 91 to 96 rear end somebody changed it out

[@CaptainThirdGen]

i am well aware

[@goodbonezz1289]

Nice car. That’s a ratchet, not a wrench.

Ok…so tell us, how many other cars from today will pull 1 g on the skid pad? The Vette has been doing it since 1984. It was a phenomenal handling car then, and still is today. The C4 would smoke most modern cars on a road course. The fact it’s over 30 years old is meaningless.
