Opinion? Everybody's got one (or more). First, ditch the Firestones - they're too old, even if they look great. If you take road trips regularly, buy the A/S4 ZP and live in peace.

Yes!

I have a new ride - or at least my wife has a new ride. We took delivery of a 2021 Corvette at the National Corvette Museum Monday. Silver Flare, 3LT, FE2 with nose lift,

I use C-Magic convertible top cleaner. You can get it at the Corvette Store at the NCM. https://corvettestore.com/car-accessories-car-care/c-magic-convertible-top-cleaning-kit-cmagcnvtopkit/

The only fuel system additive I use is "BG 44K." It's a fuel system cleaner. I put it in all my cars once a year.

Welcome!

I've had 2 C5s and 3 C6s. I still have my last C6 - 2013 427 Vert 60th Anny. Each new generation offers better ride and handling than the previous. The C6 offers a 6-speed automatic while the C5 has the 4-speed auto. Both can be had with a 6-speed manual (my choice). Generally, buy the...

I'm going to get one too.

I thought the bigger, 3-inch half-shafts were used on big block cars to handle the higher torque they could put out.

That's a start plus checking them for leaks. The FX3 shocks have electrical connections at the top of each shock (front shock connections are obvious with the hood up - rears a little harder to see). I have seen FX3 cars for sale with standard shocks installed - i.e. no electrical connection...

Make sure the FX3 shocks are working well. They can be expensive to repair/replace.

I understand. I'm 70 and retired. My wife and I get out and walk or bike ride a few times each week just to keep everything moving. Seems to help. Like you, I used to do some routine maintenance on my cars but not anymore. I pay people to do that now. Best wishes with your decision.

As Tom said, you must do what you feel is right. As for ease of getting in and out, you might want to check out an exercise program at your local gym to get all those muscles and joints moving again. As for maintenance, let somebody else do it now and just enjoy the driving.

Depends on how far in the future you're talking about. The cost of a good C6 is pretty reasonable right now since it is 2 generations old. The biggest cost of ownership for a young person is insurance. Don't forget to budget for that when you are ready to buy a Vette.

My wife and I take several road trips each year in our C6. 3 hours, 6 hours, 10 hours; no problem. The C6 is very comfortable. Everyone of them has been a MagRide car with the adjustable shocks. I bought my first Corvette in 1991 - a brand new 1992. At the time I thought that was a great...

My wife and I must like them because we have owned 3 C6s and still have one, a 2013 60th Anniversary 427 Convertible.

A little slow but it worked for me.

This visualizer does not include the MagRide option for the base suspension Stingray, or pricing.

An automatic in an '84 is not a down side. The manual in the early C4s was the Doug-Nash 4+3. I'd look for a newer C4 with the 6-sp manual or consider the auto.
