She is hot and fun

Once you take her out and go for a ride you will be sold. I have spent my entire adult driving experience (32 years) behind some type of sports car, Triumph, MG, Porsche, BMW, but none of them have the raw testosterone pumping power of a Corvette! The sprit of this machine will enter your bloodstream and course through your veins until you are forced to go out, open the door, fire her up, melt into the seat and connect with the essence of freedom that she brings you. This car is an extension of the adult male image. It’s just too much of a good time! Be careful though, if you’re not ready to buy one, don’t go for a test drive, she will make you crazy.

Yellow LT-4 Ragtop

After 30 years of waiting and being practical, I finaly purchased my Corvette. I wish a hadn't waited so long! I've always loved the styling of the C-4, paticularly with the updates they made in the early 90's. The LT-4 engine and 6 speed transmission make this car a ball to drive. The power is instantaneous and the torque makes the car easy to drive, even at low rpm's. While the car is ten years old, it only had 3,000 miles when I bought it last month. It's not often you come across a brand new 1996 Corvette convertible, so. It doesn't get any better than cruising with the top down on a warm summer night!

I have had many vettes through the years. C4s are my favorite. I like the body shape, and my 96 , nineteen yrs old, and never had a problem I did have to change the battery a few times, but thats it. Love the car.

Hot 96 LT4

Recently purchased a '96 LT4. 78K miles, 6 speed. Only problems are CD player doesn't work (tape player does), and the driver's seat is apart at the seam. Got it at a great price. I can't believe this engine is rated at only 330 HP! It moves like it has 360 or 370! Shifts great. Body and paint are very good. It sticks to the road like it has glue on the tires. It's a fun car to drive. These later C4's, ('92 thru '96) are a bargain!

Happy Owner

Very happy with my 96 coupe. I do know what everyone is talking about when the top comes off-- lots of shimming. I actually pulled over the first time because I thought something was wrong with the car. Most of all I think the car is awsome with its power and looks. I would recommend this car for anyone except for young adults because they would get in trouble. If you do buy this car own another car because you will not want to drive this car in the rain or snow or park near anyone that may hurt it. This car will surely be a classic.
