I agree in the sense that it would kill the fun, but it's comfortable enough to do it. Definitely going to want a well sorted example. But I agree.

@mattquerio at least your nor mad at me now..jeesh life is short have fun

Subjective, stock for stock a C5 only has 15hp on a LT4. But that's a sweet story and you should definitely tell it at parties 🥳 I took a peek at your channel. Bring that C5 automatic convertible over if you want to see tail lights 🤷‍♂️

@mattquerio ha lt4 is an option so no comparison but nice story

Thanks for watching! I'm glad it helped. I was able to do about 2.2 to 2.4 liters, that was it. So yes 3 bottles, but you won't need it all. That's awesome that you have a C4 over there, it must turn heads!

Thank you man!!

I bought this car in March 30th of this year for $15,000. It had brand new rear tires, and 10 year old front tires. I bought front tires to match the rear tires. The front is lowered on a VBP lowering spring, so I lowered the rear to match with vansteel bolts. As of today it is at the local chevy dealer getting 4 new Bilstein B8 shocks, front inner and outer tie rods, upper and lower ball joints, rear outer tie rods, both rear wheel bearing/hub assemblies, and finally a 4 wheel alignment. After all that I will have a tick over 20k into the car. I'm a bit deep into it, and I don't think I can get that back out, but it's a really clean no option 63k mile car. The plan is to keep enjoying it. I actually sold my scat pack challenger to move back into a C4, there's a video on my channel highlighting that. Feel free to subscribe for more LT4 stuff to come!

Haha, of course, Nirvana too! Yeah, the LT4 is still pretty slept on. A lot of people don't know. There's a video on my channel with gm video footage about the LT4 and lists every single thing they did to make it create it's power, and how they built it to take abuse.

I agree. I like all the C4 dashes. Very straight forward. Some cars today are overwhelming.

A T5 is a Borg Warner/Tremec unit for rwd applications. This transmission was referred to as the MTX IV. It is the same as the trans used in a 1989-1995 Ford Taurus SHO.

I typically use a photo of my own car, but I wanted a driving/rolling shot. I googled "C4 Corvette" and did an image search, and this was one was my favorite.

To expand on that, my channel is predominantly based on keeping C4 Corvettes relevant. If you'd like me to change the thumbnail, I will. It's a beautiful shot of a beautiful car.

Oh ok, I didn't know the light would still illuminate with the eliminator installed! Thank you for the insight, and thank you for watching!

The 91 seats look ultra supple in the cars I've seen. I prefer the early seats, or in 94+ the base seats. I never found the 94-96 sport seats to be as comfortable, nor do I like the style. Well, with the exception of red sport seats in a 96 collectors edition or a grand sport, those get a pass.

Thank you!

I'm glad you found it useful, thank you for watching!

Nothing wrong with an automatic car. 2 of my 6 C4s have been automatic, but only because I could not find a manual. I swear it's 10 to 1 auto vs manuals built. All of them make a great weekend car.

I chose to not wail on it. What kind of trans am do you have?

Transams are ugly and have a terrible chassis. Lol. It's a high-school kids car. Grow up and get a vette.

Gopro hero 12. So far it's great.

Thank you for watching, and hold onto that 92!

@mattquerio Thanks, man. I love my car. Your car is incredible! Beautiful. Very impressive. I'm just starting to restore my car. New bushings, decent brakes. Just got new tires and a rebuilt steering column. Lots of little things. Then I'll strip the 2 layers of paint, change the carpet, add sport seats, T56 magnum, Gen V LT1 with cam, new paint, wrap the entire interior in leather, stereo, 6 pistol WILLWOOD brakes.... TMTL. 1 or 2 things at a time....These cars deserve to be saved.

As long as you want it to sound hairy! Lol. I love it.

I hear that. I've very rarely had one car, but I could daily a C4 as a sole car if needed. I probably wouldn't choose it, I'd go more practical because I am old, but even so... it could be done!

I get that, but these are cheap to fix and replace. Really these are cheaper than most peoples commuter cars.

I am glad you liked it! And yeah I've always heard rotary engines butt chug fuel, and have their quirks. Once you have lived rotary life, this will be a breeze lol.

I agree, for me it would ruin the fun of the car if I didn't take a break. But it is impressive that it has everything someone needs to do the job, comfortably and relatively efficiently.

It's pretty damn impressive. The gearing and aerodynamics really make it.

I am so glad you are out there loving that beautiful C4 LT4 man!

I thought the excuse for the C8’s ugly ass was that it holds two golf bags!

Not shocked!

The 91's have a really nice seat design too, I haven't sat in them but they look extra comfortable. I've had C4's from 1985 to 1996, and they have all have some of the most comfortable seats in any car, let alone a sports car. They really let you soak up the miles. A 1991 6 speed is a great one. One I'd love to own, because you have the good ZF 6 speed, and you've got the last 350 TPI that makes absolute gobbbbbbs of torque right off idle. That must be a blast!

Absolutely! Let me know how you like it once it's on. There is definitely some drone, especially with the top up, but man... with the top down cruising, it is an amazing enhancement for me!

That means more than you know. Thank you so much for watching, and I'm glad you enjoy. I am trying to think of what to cover next. I am debating on doing an exhaust on the car, but I also kind of like how quiet it is. It's so serene to cruise in!

@@mattquerio I’m going to change the exhaust on mine soon because I want to be able to hear the v8 a little more and I don’t like the stock tips

Same here. I do like the quiet cruising, but I've been eyeing this. Chambered exhaust with much better looking tips, for $815. Seems like a bargain. highfloperformance.com/products/96-lt4-catback-chambered-exhaust-with-c6-dual-exhaust-tips

Damn! 18,000 miles in 1 year! You are a legend for that!

Cheaper to just trade yours for a 6 -Speed.

People don't realize how comfortable these are. They are truly a great comfortable, livable car. And I agree, doing your own maintenance and minor repairs saves a bundle.

You guys and your good weather. I'm jealous lol

@@mattquerio All good except the terrible sun damage to everything, and the monsoons trying to turn my Firebird into a submarine. hahaha

Thanks Gary! I agree, it does depend on where you drive. I can see the city being a lot less fun to daily one of these. The age of the car is an issue, but if they are maintained properly, I think it's just fine. But so many of these cars sit for so long, and have items that need addressed to be daily driven. I've done banks and drive throughs, it's low, but you can pull it off! And I am glad my drive video got you to get the car out!!!! Thanks as always, Enjoy that car!

@@mattquerio you are right. I hope the youth takes up the torch. C4 is a great car.

I bet that is absolutely wonderful to daily. I have not driven a vette newer than C4. I can imagine the C7 is far more livable yet! Not to mention an absolute beast. I'd get tickets. Lol.

Get the C4. Do it!

Dudes see this and be like "Hell Yeah." :salute:

That's awesome. People get scared of the opti, but you do it once with an upgraded unit and you are good to go.

Dreadful if I'm honest. I don't really use the car for anything but top down backroad driving, but if I used it for commuting or anything I would rip this off. The drone is exponentially worse with the top up. It is definitely on the aggressive side of the scale.

@@mattquerio good to know..I’ll probably steer clear of this one then.

Thanks man, I'm glad you enjoyed it!!! Thank you for taking the time to watch!

It is absolutely insane how cheap these cars still are relative to the performance (for the era it is extremely good). Not to mention how insanely capable the chassis is in stock form. I've sold 3 LT4's prior to this. I was lucky to find this car with 63k miles as clean as it is. It's a keeper. I am actually thinking of building a garage, which means I might need to let a car go to free up funds. I don't want to sell anything, but I can tell you that if I do, it will not be the LT4.

Amen!!!

Thank you for the kind words! Congrats on the car as well. The idle thing, that can be tough. If I would guess something like an idle air control module, or something of the sort. Vacuum would be my first guess, like you said. I really don't have any good input on that one, I'm sorry to say!

Man that is impressive in Ohio. Honestly, having 2 is pretty brilliant. One for the salt, and one for the sun! Do you run winter tires, or just a good all season?

@@mattquerio I have all season Cooper tires on the winter/bad weather Firebird. I've only been stuck once and needed a tow. I would love to get a Corvette someday, but for now I just watch Corvette videos on TH-cam. I enjoy your channel.

I think if I was down south this would be the daily for the money. It's a luxury car, it's a sports car, and on the highway it's an economy car. I agree. #C4stillrelevant !

It's a GoPro Hero 12! This is 4k 60hz, but it'll do 5.3k 120hz. But man would the files get big!

I agree, especially considering it doesn't have the benefits of modern cars like variable valve timing, and direct injection. Your 17mpg car will dust so many 10mpg cars from the muscle car era!

@mattquerio I know!!! Lol but trying to get the average person to understand that is pretty damn hard!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I was messing around with a dude in a really nice 68 chevelle and dude is floored and I'm dead on his back bumper hitting and then lifting off the throttle over and over again stuck to his bumper!!🤣🤣🤣 he didn't like that too much I don't think! He was giving me a dirty look through the side mirror! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lmao

I did just drop A LOT of money on a new go pro hero 12, and I got the kit with the headstrap. I need to make slight adjustments, I'm still feeling like it's a little high in some parts of the video!

@@mattquerio I love it. I think I want one.

I think that is what it's all about. Regular preventative maintenance and there is no reason why you can't just rack the miles up. What year is yours?

I have a 1994 and A 1987 both convertibles In Ontario lol

@@mattquerio I have a very special 95.Grand Sport Tribute car.

@@mattquerioI have a 88 35th anniversary car with 127k I daily drive. When getting a c4 you will have to sort some stuff out. Personally I daily it but I have multiple cars. If daily driving a classic keep 1500 back in reserve in case you need it

My 93 mr2 hit 212k miles and is all good even the pop ups works

You hit the nail on the head again. I think that is why I so seldomly choose to drive this car to work. It isn't a conscious "I don't want to" thing, it's just that it is so much easier to hop in my truck and go. But every single day when I get out of work, I wish I had driven the vette. If I drove it every day, I think the sparkle would dim and the charm would wear off. I would simply ruin what it stands for, for me.

Yikes

I drove a 1990 convertible every day for 10 years and loved every minute of it. I love that car. I reluctantly had to sell it in 2010 when I really needed the money and I regretted it ever since. I've always missed that car. I finally was able to get another one in 2019 - a 1992 - and this time I'm not selling it, even though I also have a C5 now - my other dream car. The C4 is a special car - especially the 1990s C4.

Thank you my friend! I appreciate the love.
