Review

After 18 years, still a "eye catcher" and one fast machine! Approx. 122k miles with no major repairs! Best performance car I've owned! If you want a great looking, fast and a joy to drive find yourself a C4 Vette! Handles great and lots of torque!

Favorite Features

Excellent handling! Great torque! Overall approx. 24 mpg! Eye catcher! You still can find them at a great price!

Suggested Improvements

None!

Review

I have a C5, and I had a chance to buy this 1990, for cheap, could not turn it down, new clutch, great sound, needs detailing, but any C4 is a bargain these days, if you find one buy it. These are still simple enough to work on, except for the electrical issues that are hard to figure out...lucky for me, my car is fine.

Favorite Features

Power, fuel mileage, yes 28 mpg w/ the 6-speed highway, torque is outstanding,smooth tranny and clutch.

Suggested Improvements

Interior rattles, but hey it's a 'vette!

1990 Chevrolet Corvette 2 Dr ZR1 Coupe

Review

Now the average joe can afford a supercar. For the price of a used Honda Accord, you can purchase one of the highest-performing cars from the '90's. These cars sold for over $70,000 new (over $100,000 in today's dollars) and only 6,000 or so were made. I predict that they will skyrocket in value in 5 to 10 years.

Favorite Features

Acceleration, speed, handling... wow! The ultimate sleeper 'Vette (not everyone knows what a ZR-1 is). The LT-5 growl.

Suggested Improvements

Targa requires a tool for removal. Ingress/egress can be difficult for some. Poor seat bolster design.

Review

I purchased this Corvette for fun and it has certainly not disappointed. While a bit tight to get into and out of, you can't drive it without a smile on your face. Power is adequate, not mind boggling. Handling is great. Convertible top, though manual, goes up and down with ease.

Favorite Features

Convertible top

Suggested Improvements

The seats sit too low to the floor and the driver's door ledge makes it hard to get into and out of.
