Pure jealousy. Gotta say, it felt great getting mine out of hibernation today and took the kids on a short little drive with the top down. I've missed that car. Love my buick 3800 but that Chevy small block makes me giggle like a school girl.
@@veganjoy they are refering to the centre mounted gas cap, so it doesn't matter which side the pump is on. But To answer that question, yes & no. Early c4's happily run on 87 octane but later cars (after 90') when they started changing motors etc it's probably recommend to use premium
@@operator91210 oh ok, thanks! i hear those L98s were pretty tough and versatile. i was looking at getting a 1988 vette this weekend but just barely missed out.... this market rn is killing me lol
@@veganjoy yeah this market is wack, good luck with your hunt! Funny enough I just got an '88 a few weeks ago. It's all original too, broken stereo and all lol.
@@veganjoy basically if the Vette has an LT1 it can take 87. But the lt4 in later years most likely requires premium. Just make sure to check Vin numbers
I remember watching this video almost 2 years ago and admiring this C4 and all it's beauty. Little did I know that by now I would have my own C4 (1993) and loving it! Great work on the video. I can say that when I first saw it, it inspired me. C4Life 👊🏻
Excellent video! I really enjoy all of your videos but watching and hearing the driving experience is fantastic! I recently bought a 96 and easing into the whole Vette ownership thing and you've helped 👍
Your post removing mufflers came just in time. Replaced a leaking y-pipe then noticed your post. The sound on yours and others is just right w/o the mifflers, on my 1990 C4. Thanks!
i bought a 90 triple black convertible with 92k on it 1 owner car sat for 6 years im working the heating issue bugs out but every HOT lap i take in it before it heats is BLAST cant wait for my new SUMMIT radiator to get here so i can put the top down and have a CORVETTE SUMMER!!! ✌❤
Will be picking up an 86 pace car vette later next month 23,000 miles kept by a discerning collector and it never spent a single day outdoors parked overnight. Can't wait to join the ranks of the corvette world! Beautiful video and a beautiful car!
Awesome, love the format. Really liking the time and effort it must have taken to make. Love the fact the C4 Does Not Smoke at all on start up or any other time. Great 0 to 60 time, not to far off from a stock C5. Once you get your white one fully sorted you should do something similar but different. Keep up the good work.
I love the electronic dashboard. It would be considered retro-futuristic these days but I still consider it futuristic. That's how a digital dashboard should be. Like something straight out of Star Wars or 2001: a Space Odyssey
Chris, I have no words: you are fantastic.- It is a pleasure to follow you from Italy.- I want to propose you for an Oscar.!!!! Thanks to your videos, I'm restoring my C4 to its best. At work finished I'll give you a picture ...From Italy with Love.-
Awesome way to start everyone off to a new corvette season!!! Not sure why rhe thumbs down, but haters gonna hate - just jealous folk! The only other thing I can think of is that they didn't like 2 or 3 youtube ads interrupting the vette drive!! Thumbs up from me tho!!!!
absolutely amazing ! gorgeous iconic American sportscar, the C4 has aged gracefully and still is a gorgeous beauty of a sportscar. it set new standards back then besting european sportscars competitors.. also love the license plates ! God Bless America !
Sounds great Chris!! I ordered the exact same exhaust as you showed I'm super excited to get it on mine!! Unfortunately the muffler delete is the only thing I'm still waiting for. I ordered it on April 6th but they say it won't ship until around May 18th which sucks a bit since I leave for a car show the 19th. I'm being as patient as possible but you're making it difficult. 😂 Awesome video though. As always your content never disappoints. Smashing that thumbs up for ya! 👍
Hey Chris. I had to think on your question for a while. 13 dislikes is not that terrible. I think this video is just out of the norm for you and your channel not what people expect to see. I thought it was a great video. Especially when I stopped to think how much time effort and planning went into recording each sequence. Your videography is getting better and better keep growing my friend and keep up the entertaining videos. I'm partial to the C4 videos because I have a 92 project car sitting in my driveway. You and others have inspired me to want to start posting videos of my own. Just haven't found the time. As you know you just can't video on your phone with one hand and adlib while working with the other. That's makes amateurish content. Keep it up I'm learning from you.
@@rogergflowers4082 Thanks for the comment. There could have been more but this was when they were showing the dislikes. At the time I only saw 13 dislikes. I actually thought it was one of his better videos myself.
your C4 is in beautiful condition, I own an 86 convertable thats about on par, nice job on the exhaust and sounds great, my factory system sounds pretty decent with just the cats removed but will look into what youve done here, thanks for the ideas. greetings from B.C Canada
My father owned a black 92 vette before I was born . He loved that thing , id like to buy one and fix it up with some new mods but also keep the classic feel
sounds great! even though my 2020 ford edge would prob smoke this vette, it's not the point. the 80's nostalgic value is priceless. have had plenty of camaros and ta's, but now want a C4 vette for my mid-life crisis therapy to tinker with. already made a list of what i want to do to it. LED dash bulbs and an exhaust like yours is a must!
4:37 Amazes me how these c4’s sound like those old v12 mercedes engines with the f1 headers and exhuast or those fuckin Gintani SVJ’s, this one is a really great sound, great car, great build! Definitely looking into for my next build
You are right about that, I bought my 84 in May 1983, new and shipped it to Germany in 1984 and it was a hit with the Europeans, still not as fast as the their cars but I was able to hit 150 mph, I still have the Vette along with an 82, 98 and a 2019.
Depending on how many miles you have on the transmission, be very careful with high-rpm manual shifts, ie 1-2 ... I learned the hard way the seals in the on 700s can be toasty, and easy to blow when locked up and pulling high pressures. Oh - Best C4 video currently on the 'Tube. Smash that Like button, everyone!
I just bought a 1993 c4 ruby red convertible. Can't find a muffler eliminator kit right now so a local custom muffler shop is going to delete the mufflers and add large double SS tips. It's a blast to drive.
Hi, So I noticed that you shifted the manual transmission ,I just inherited a 87 from my Dad and I finally cleared the codes fixed the Leakes and also fixed the abs,now I am ready to drive her and want to make sure I know all the tricks of shifting, Thanks
This C4 sounds SICK! My only disappointment is that it is not a manual. Shame you sold it as it looks to be a REALLY clean example of a C4. I see you got a Callaway Corvette though so that will be the next video I watch.
Love your work. I have been thinking of doing same on my '94 c4. Do you get any "droning " noise, sounded a little drony. Were the windows up or down when you recorded the "from the interior" scenes?
Can someone explain to me why this video is getting so many dislikes?
You know Greta Thunberg? The hole Family watch this video and klick the button down........

Haters gonna hate.
@@art0rius1976 ...no doubt they saw he went from 19.9 MPG, to 19.8 MPG after a couple hot passes...lol
I love my C5, but I miss my C4, too, especially the simplicity of pulling up to any available pump at the gas station, lol.
does the c4 not require premium gas?

L98 engine sound and U.S. impressions on the streets are untoppable 😊 from German pov, really great clip from you, once again. Thanks a lot ❤
These 'PURE SOUND' editions are extremely enjoyable. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
It`s a good feeling to watch a video like this and after that you go to your C5 and start the engine! greetings from Germany
So, you are another part of the 0.7% of those watching Chris' channel?
Ah Germany! Welcome Sir! Hope all is well there! Any C8s made it to the streets there yet?
@@keithcooper9087 I saw one this week
A C5 owner in Germany! What's that like?
I remember watching this video almost 2 years ago and admiring this C4 and all it's beauty. Little did I know that by now I would have my own C4 (1993) and loving it!

underrated car
no shit
_It once wasn't!_
Excellent video! I really enjoy all of your videos but watching and hearing the driving experience is fantastic! I recently bought a 96 and easing into the whole Vette ownership thing and you've helped 👍
I just added the Corsa mufflers and removed all the cats and added a larger diameter Y pipe, sounds wicked !!!
I'm so glad that I bought a C4 Corvette like you did ,and love listening to the purest sound of both our Corvettes .
Thanks for sharing!
Best non narrated video ive seen in almost ever, great car.
One of the nicer C4's I've seen.

My son just bought a 89 C4 auto same color and top as yours....gonna have him watch this in a bit
That's the best c4 review I've ever seen in my life.
Chris you have a awesome C4, music to my ears hearing that exhaust😎🔥💯👍🏾
The car did all the talking!
Absolutely
That was genius and simple and I loved every bit of it keep putting off fantastic videos I have a 90 c4!!!!!

Nice to wake up to on a Sunday morning!

Thx for vidéo. I love Corvette C4 👍🏻🇫🇷
great video please do more of these, also with the c5 and other cars 👍😃
Another great video! You should do one about keeping the c4 cool in the summer time since we’re in Az.
You ever find more info to the cooling for the c4?? I recently bought an 85 vette
Awesome way to start everyone off to a new corvette season!!! Not sure why rhe thumbs down, but haters gonna hate - just jealous folk! The only other thing I can think of is that they didn't like 2 or 3 youtube ads interrupting the vette drive!! Thumbs up from me tho!!!!
BTW your movie direction is getting good! real good
Bro your Vette is IMMACULATE
One of the most retro cars ever!
One of my dream cars. Engine was built in my city over 30 years ago 👌🏽👌🏽

Best video you’ve ever made! How about those poly bushings in your C5? Follow up vid on how they’re doing?
Sounds great
Man gonna try pick up a good used C4 by then end of the year!
Timeless. I need one 😎
That is a sweet ride!
God I love corvettes only car they makes me feel sane !!!
Beautiful
I'm glad that I'm not the only one that drives my automatic Corvette like it's a manual.
Good vid. Keep it up
I did a few of my Vettes like that .I can't bring myself to cut up the ZR1 cradle just yet LoL 😂😂
Love it... 🇬🇧
AMAZING !!!!!
Enjoyable content. 🚗👍🏼

A beauty your car 😁
Clean!!
Miss my 97 Z28 6 speed. Made me a believer in the ol LT1.
That 1st gear is insane 🥲
I watch your TH-cam and the airflow sensor it worked out perfect more power
🤞buying one this summer
Lot of strange people out there. Keep going your great videos.👍
Very cool video
Thanks
Great video. Nice sound only. Going to delete my mufflers on my 91 now. Thanks
Bravo
Greetings from Detroit
I would like to hear this in person i cant really tell how loud it is but it sounds great

You my friend have an 88 with insanely rare 16" wheels. They are so hard to come by it's not funny. Great car
That C4 still looks so cool. Imagine how cool it looked back in the 1980s. Especially in Europe where cars then really were crap.
You are right about that, I bought my 84 in May 1983, new and shipped it to Germany in 1984 and it was a hit with the Europeans, still not as fast as the their cars but I was able to hit 150 mph, I still have the Vette along with an 82, 98 and a 2019.

Very clean C4 my man!! Did you purchase preformed pipes/kit to delete the mufflers? I'd like to know! Thank you!!!
Cool...

I have a 93 Corvette convertible what is the best way to keep them running cool?
Love your work. I have been thinking of doing same on my '94 c4. Do you get any "droning " noise, sounded a little drony. Were the windows up or down when you recorded the "from the interior" scenes?
No drone.
I wondered how you’d fill it with gas and not get paint on it. Nice trick to invert the nozzle upwards.
Switch gear like that doesn’t hurt the transmission? And can I change the all rear from the 90 for a 88 since thst the only difference I don’t like
Very nice clip! Your C4 sounds great! One question: Shouldn't the front marker lights be on when you switch on the headlights?
Yes. I’m working out the bugs with LEDs.
@@mycorvettelife Ahhh, maybe just unplug the bulb, turn 180° and put it back in. With LEDs electricity can only flow in one specific direction.
