Cool, they definitely have their charm. The 91/92 just calls to me lol. Sold this one but have a nice 91 RS now in red.

@@conantheagrarian Must have been a full moon that night I bet, then I'm not like I am on the video AT ALL. Watch closely near the beginning for the bird $h!t on the hood too while you're at it.

Nice, love your profile name by the way 🤝🇺🇲

Cheers to you! Thank you so much, it means a lot to me, love how you commented on this car too, one of my all time favorites 🇺🇲🤙

It's all good, we all start somewhere bud. Lots of options for it as far as looks, ground effects, GT hood scoop, spoiler etc.. The Flowmaster dual exhaust sounds pretty good too on the V6, they used to make a Supercharger kit for these as well, wouldn't do that though if your 04 has high miles. Hope that helps

Nice. That was the same as my first V6 Mustang:) Fantastic car for me too, just had to replace a power steering line, put it on to where it didn't rub from the factory, no other problems whatsoever.

2000 V6 auto convertible here. Slight rattle when accelerating that no one can seem to figure out, but other than that she's a great machine.

Had to sell this one unfortunately, but have a red on red 91 with 55k miles now

@@racingdreamz8021 Lol, driven a lot of different cars, the C4 has it's faults but it beat Porsche in it's class for so many years it got banned from SCCA, wouldn't say it sucks, sucks to get in and out of maybe.

@@Feral80sKid I’ve had a few of them over the years, But I skip right over them these days for the c6/c7 in a manual trans, It’s much more of a car for men of this generation

Well, can't deny the C7, we have a 17 with the M7, night and day difference putting it mildly lol.

@@racingdreamz8021 I have had two C4s, one C5, and I have a C6Z right now. I still miss my C4s. Call it nostalgia, call it whatever you will, but I love those cars. What it lacked in the power department it made up for in other ways, at least for me.

That's as cool a memory as it gets my friend, truly awesome. The way you described it was exactly what I said, an electric blue I said to dad when we went to test drive the 78 Formula I bought 26 years ago, almost to this day actually, what a coincidence we're talking about this now LOL. I fell in love with the color instantly, found that car in the old Auto Trader books we used to get, it had 42k miles, black interior, 350 4 speed, with Cragar SST wheels. ($4,100 I paid then) Sure wish we could get one now for that haha. Great comment, really made me smile🤝

@@Feral80sKid It's interesting, your video triggered a little bit more of the memory for me. I said that 1/18 model is the same, but it's not, the model has a black interior. That didn't mean much to me till I saw the blue interior in your car and I realized the one I saw that day had the blue interior, I'm sure of it. I hadn't occurred to me until I saw yours and it was like a little missing piece to the memory regained. It was all blue, the blueyist blue car I done ever seen. In the end I can't complain, that 71 Grand Prix was a very nice "personal luxury" car, small block 400. Interestingly that GPrix had a feature I've never seen in another GPrix ever, and that is your steering wheel. It had the Leather tilt Rally Steering wheel same as the Trans Am. That steering wheel made that Grand Prix I'm telling you. It couldn't have been an option or you'd see them, but I've never seen another. My theory is thus; the guy that owned the Pontiac dealership (where I saw your car) was a friend of my dads and my dad bought the car from him. I have to assume as the owner of a dealership he got a new car every year and customized it any way he wanted. An owner would be just the person that could have them install that steering wheel into his car, cause my dad bought it as is. That Trans Am steering wheel is still completely bad ass, they need to bring them back, F a bunch of air bags, screw safety. Wait what, no not that. lol. Damn sorry for the run on trip down memory lane. Cars, I love those damn things. Cheers.

@@robertkees6048 Don't be sorry at all:) I love talking cars with good people. I drive a 91 Camaro RS daily and I put on a wheel similar to a TA wheel, dumb first gen airbag was so warped the horn wouldn't work, ugly too, and first gen airbags can be dangerous. Sounds like one bad @$$ Grand Prix, the 71 looks sweet, nice body style, back when you could actually tell cars apart lol🤙

😎 Hell yeah, friends don't let friends drive SUV's and mini vans, it's been driven every day for 2 months now:) Won't drive it in snow/salt though. Have a newer Camaro coming soon too, will be my last build, pouring all I've learned the last 20 years into it, revealing on channel soon🤙

My thoughts 100%🤝

Right on:) it's definitely fantastic to drive, and somehow it still rides nice for how great it handles.

They're definitely high on the cool and fun factor:) In my own experience I've never had a problem with either the 700R4 like in my 90 or the 4L60E say in a 95, have heard people say the same though. Actually selling this because I found a good deal on a 2024 Camaro, last year for those, bummer :/ Typically the 700R4 seems to last a lot longer before needing a rebuild though. Whichever you choose, find a good transmission shop and have them install you a TransGo shift kit, it'll last a long time, shouldn't be more than $300 for parts/labor, shifts quick but ultra smooth under normal driving, hard and quick under full throttle, you'll love it, a bit more hp to the wheels as well👌

Get one with a 6 speed

@gerardgalletta6943 Absolutely can't go wrong there either, the ZF is one of the most enjoyable manuals I've ever driven❤️🔥

That I'm not sure, there has to be some place that will I would think. Maybe try Ford directly?

NICE lol, sounds like the Purple Haze color they made, go for it my friend. Just got a 91 in red, did a review of it on here, higher miles than this one but I love it.

❤️

I always wanted a Marty blu T/A . One day …

One of my favorite colors ever on a car, I hope you end up with one my friend🤝

Had to sell this car unfortunately, everything is so expensive now, not much choice, and interest rates are stupid high so won't have another for a long time either :/

@@Feral80sKid that’s a shame. Sorry to hear it. I feel ya.

@damiansutube Thanks brother, means a lot 100%🤝❤️ Ughh I miss this one lol

My daughter says to me she likes the car but the interior looks like an old man car .so 2018 buckets going in with 2018 steering wheel and center console.put in an electric instrument cluster from intertronix.beautiful! These new car prices are outrageous.you have to take out a second mortgage.i drop a turbo and get 400 HP if I could but she is reliable for now.

@@IvanMartinez-zo9vr I really like the exterior of the 2024 Stang but not a fan at all of the big infotainment/guage setup, like the S550 much better.

@@IvanMartinez-zo9vr LOL, thanks much. Very cool collection you have. If I did have a Hugo it'd be a Top Gear style video of me dropping it from a crane or something xD

Agreed.

I think it was 85 or 86 and up C4's had the 3rd brake light from the factory? So you had the W72 Trans Am then! Awesome, had a 78 Formula in high school, 350 4 speed, and recently a blue 78 TA W72, great minds think alike:) Actually have this car for sale atm, really thinking about a 96 LT4 car, or maybe a 6th gen Camaro LT1. Love the C4 LT1 btw, had a 94 Z28 6 speed. The 78 is on the channel here if you wanna see it, was a pretty Martinique Blue. Good stuff, you have great taste in cars🤙🇺🇲

Sounds like it's a very healthy engine, still nice and tight.

@@Feral80sKid 82k

Nice, I have seen a few 1990 Corvettes with 200k+ miles, they really seem to be built well.

Thanks much❤️ it's not quite as nice in person but super happy with it. You know, my first Camaro was an 82 Z28, I so loved that car, dad gave me a good deal on it, had the Crossfire 305 but it ran good🤙

Ahhh thank you my friend, dad bought a base C7 Corvette so he's selling unfortunately. Just a 91 RS in there with the 305tbi, but reliable:)

Thanks so much, yeah the cuts on my right wrist are almost completely healed finally haha

You're a good man for trying to make her happy though, regardless of whether it lasted or not, been there myself:) The 91 and 92 Z28 is one good looking car, I did have a blue 91 Z28 once but it had 230k miles.

@@Feral80sKid Thanks. Mine was black with the oversized spoiler. Tuned port fuel injection. I loved it.

No prob man, NICE, I love that spoiler, GM was bold to do that lol.

Guten tag my friend, and congrats:) I understand believe me, had a Datsun 240Z on 4 jackstands for a year haha. My first car was a 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass 2 door, just a V6 but pretty cool.

Nice, I love that color red, my 2000 was the same color, really looks good!

You know your stuff:) I think so, about 170 something were coupes of 278

Corvette owners are all the same lmfao

@@leshi3489 So are haters, but hey I wear Sketchers not New Balances. Honestly though, some owners I can't stand, some are the nicest people you'll meet.

@@Feral80sKid i say this as a c4 owner. This is the shit we get made fun of for.

XD truth

Absolutely:)

Haha, love watching him too:) I have a 1990 Corvette, he got a nice 85 with the 4+3, guess he really loves them. Thank you very much as well, hey there is actually a great deal on a 1991 teal RS, 305tbi with a manual 5 speed with 41k orig miles in Coshocton, OH right now! He wants I think $9500 for it, in case you want one again, looks really nice too.

Nice, wasn't sure if they'd keep making them at the time, if I could go back I'd have gotten the CE, love the hood vents, stitched interior etc., did get mine at sticker though.

Haha, nice! And thank you very much my friend:) I love Irocs, had a black 89 hardtop long ago, miss it.

You said it perfect, that's exactly why the 1990 is my favorite! Sorry to hear about the bad repaint, flat black could give it a stealth look though, that's pretty cool.

Man that's crazy, sold a black Iroc to a good friend of mine and someone stole it from his driveway:/ Your grandma sounds awesome man! I love it, and thanks very much bro, I sure will❤️🤝 Some of the later Regals have the 3.8 Supercharged, always wanted one of those, really like the 80's SS Monte Carlo too, but the nice examples are so expensive now :(

*IROC

@@goodbonezz1289 it's been awhile...lol.

To own an Iroc brand new, that is awesome:) Thanks very much too, same here with the styling, we really love Corvettes too, have a 1990 in garage!🤝

@@Feral80sKid Yeah i remember, you should do another video for an update and take it for a spin.

Definitely:)

Sounds just like my 02 Z28 brother, I think I ended up just using WD40 on top part of rear shocks, and same on front strut bearing and squeeking went away, front sway bar end links turned to dust when I first raised this car up xD So decided just to redo them all in Energy poly bushings. The 4th gens are so much better in so many ways though lol, but the 3rd gens are pretty sentimental to me:)

@@Feral80sKid 3rd and 4th are my faves for sure. 3rds are what got me into cars, 4th was my first car.

Well put🤝😊

Absolutely

*Legendary

@@GamerPastHisPrime Thanks much my friend! Glad it's mostly done, making me feel old lately lol

Thanks very much! Needed a lot of little things, but glad the worst is over lol

@@Feral80sKid outta checc out my 2002 convertible maro

Very cool, just checked it out, lookin good in red my friend🤙

Sounds awesome, having owned both I prefer the 6th gen Camaro over the GR just for my own preference, but all in all both EXCELLENT cars and you won't be disappointed my friend, had a 2021 LT1 with the M6, tuned on ethanol. Corolla for sure gives you an easier to see out of car lol, couldn't fit my head outside my Camaro, short windshield too haha. Pretty cool that you're into all different kinds of cars like me🤝🤙

@@Feral80sKid that’s one of my bigger issues with the car. I have a small space issue and it wasn’t really bad when I got the car. But this past season of driving it. Seems to have gotten worse and I get real uncomfortable in the cabin being so small and dark. Figure why keep a car that makes me uncomfortable in anything more than a 20min drive.

@05xrunner Agreed 100%, fantastic cars though the alpha chassis, feels well built, handles phenomenal, brutally quick. Just a warning though, Corolla is incredible but did ride much rougher than my 2021 LT1, much rougher. It did smooth out quite a bit after 1k miles however, definitely more usable than the Camaro, but rear hatch is surprisingly small, not any easier to get in and out of either, but I'm 6ft 1.

As far as performance or aesthetic? The rear swaybar is pretty easy, along with k&n cold air intake, could do some msd wires and coil packs, that's pretty easy, as well as bigger throttle body or spacer, lightweight battery.

Hey:) Thanks much, I had a red 1990 also, it really looks good on a C4, love it. First I'm hearing of being able to read the coolant temp on the AC readout, pretty cool. Next time I drive it I'll look into it and see what mine says, then I'll comment on here for you👍

@@Feral80sKid Great, thanks

i made my fan run when ever the engine is running - never goes above 180 deg f

Nice, factory kicks them in way too high (about 230ish) for my taste, regardless if some say they are meant to run at that temp., I turn on my defrost or AC at 210, most I like to see. May burn out your fans keeping them running at all times but PCM of North Carolina will make you a custom chip for about $80, you can tell them what idle rpm you want, vats bypass, fan on/off temps etc., it's a good option. But worst case is those fan motors are easy to replace and cheap, beats doing a head gasket or worse.

Sounds like some great times:) My sister and I had 6th gen Camaro's we raced LOL, awesome. Yeah that 400 sounds like it ran strong, exhaust definitely helps them. The 403 was reliable/sounded good but GM really bogged them down. I ended up selling this one, really miss it and want another one myself, everything is so darn expensive now though, inflation sucks :/

Done a lot of research about the wheels, they did first appear on 1978 WS6 Trans Ams, standard wheels in 78 were 15x7's, although I have heard 79 as well, lots of info out there, rear disc brakes weren't available until 79 I know. Sounds like a nice combo you have, wish this one had black interior with the blue.

@@Feral80sKid WS6 was first offered in 1979. Came with 4 wheel duck brakes.

@@oresteromito1473 I've got the original window sticker stating WS6 and W72 options bud, just Google search first year for WS6 Trans Am.

​​@@cedi_boy1555 Hahaha, indeed. Had a great time bud, car made my month driving it.

Sure does, especially for how well it handles.

Nice, I really love the 90 exterior being the first year with newer interior. I'm with you on the opti, otherwise I really like the lt1.

Both of those are great, reliable vehicles, I also had a 2014 S, my gal had a 2017 4 Runner. The GR is absolutely fantastic, but they do ride a bit rough, did smooth out quite a bit once I put about 1k miles on, otherwise phenomenal.

Good friend of mine has a 2012 STi, feels well built and a blast to drive, if you like the STi you'll love the GR 100%, I'd go for the Circuit or premium unless you don't mind cloth interior, if I could go back I'd have got the Circuit.
