If you have never driven a first generation ZR-1 in Full Power mode and heard the heavens sundered by the absolutely feral howl of the exhaust above 4,000 RPM , felt the G forces compressing you into the bolstered leather seats as you make seemingly effortless, lightning fast shifts up through the gears while negotiating twisting mountain roads with telepathic ease, then you have missed a truly unique automotive experience. Love or hate C4's, this car represents a special time in American automotive history and is truly the first American super car.

The problem is broke a$$ owners and stupid techs. I have put 10k miles on my Deville and it run great. Yes I have had to install brakes, front struts, rear air shocks and a power steering hose. Any car with 146k miles will need the same stuff. I don't think there is a NS blown head gasket problem. My car has run hot 3 times. Neither problem was a blown hg. 1st was a water pump belt tensioner broke. 2nd. was a bad water pump. 3rd. was a plugged purge tube. It has not run hot in more than a year. Stupid techs wont find out what the real cause of the over heating. They just say blown head gasket and want to install another engine. If you don't believe me. Watch my videos.

Although only the 375 HP version of the LT5, it may not be able pass a new Z06, but it will keep up with it all day long! These cars are still a bargain in terms of the "HP per Dollar" ratio, but lately the prices of surviving ZR-1's are beginning to go up after years of flat lining. If you want a fun ride at a used Chevy price, this may be the 'Vette for you...

Road & Track got 4.9 @ 13.4 out of a 1990. That ran 375hp until 1993 when a head job got them to 405. And trust me, your not touching a new Z06. As a matter of fact my '10 GS 6-speed does 12.2 - 12.4 @ 115 - 118 and its at 436hp. Then again, it does have launch control. And what a Z06 with 650hp will do is crazy.

Your story reminded me of the Yellow 90 Beretta that was at my school... yellow with, black interior, convertible top. If you Google Beretta convertible, you'll see 2 pics. One a red one from a brochure. The second is of a 90 Indy pace car. The actual pace cars for the race were the only convertibles made. The unibody wasn't strong enough for consumers and street use. Anyway the school car was one of several cars made. Some say 3, some say 5. I doubt that this one was an actual pace car from the race, but that kind of makes it more special. This one for sure had a regular 3.1 v6 under the hood. While the actual pace cars for the race had 3400s. Certainly been crushed by now :/

The ultimate C-4 Vette! The LT-5 was truly a rare, exotic engine. At the time a "normal" Vette had about 250 hp. Until 1993 when the LT-1 came out. Then it was like do we really want to spend another $30,000 for 75hp? There was also the LT-4 optioned Vettes that had 330 hp. I've heard rumors of some Camaros getting LT-4s, but I've never seen one.

And 96 you could get the one year only lt4 in the Grand sport model that 330 horsepower. Also a 90 and 91 zr1 Corvettes had 120 more horsepower cuz the 90 and 91 regular Corvette only had 255 with the L98 engine

All C4's look dated inside and out. As for the LT5 not fitting in the C5 not entirely true you can fit a big block in one and the LT5 is narrower than BBC by 1". It was more of a economics thing and I'm sure they knew the LS would be able to make similar power even at that point. After all the LT5 only made 71hp\L which even back then wasn't great for DOHC engine. The overall power was impressive for the time though.

That speed endurance record that stood for 50 years was challenged multiple times. Ford tried and failed. Audi also failed. Mercedes failed, and they were running a special modified car engineered & designed for the sole purpose of trying to break that record. Then, along comes the C4 ZR1, and not only beat the 50 yr old record that had a lap speed average of 161 mph, the ZR1 shattered it with a lap average of 175.8 mph.........and they say the ZR1 was not modified in any way, totally factory stock. With the C4 ZR1 being normally aspirated, it blew the doors off the Porsche 911 turbo in a drag race, stopping distance, the ZR1 was even quicker than the 911 turbo by a full 2 seconds in lap times on a road course type race track. Yet the Zr1 costs $37,000 LESS. The only car that could barely outrun this C4 ZR1 was the top-of-the-line 12 cylinder Ferrari. I'm told that the C4 ZR1 was SO good, it was totally banned from racing in the SCCA factory-show class. ( Yet so many Chevy haters claim: "Chevy always has rules changed so Chevy can compete in racing". ) This car will always be a legend.

The Corvette C4 remains my favorite body style; so clean, sleek, and well-proportioned.

I agree. Everyone says “why don’t you just get a C5”, well they aren’t nearly as special feeling to me. Much less exciting imo

The story about the friend of a friend is hard to believe, however, it's dumb enough to be true.. Maybe!! The c-4 Corvette is very underrated, I think it is one of the best looking Corvettes especially the 1989 convertible, that I just happen to own, no bias here..
