    If an L98 is a TPI motor what is an LT1?

    I hear the L98 motors refered to as TPI motors all the time. Just curious what the LT motors are called?

    Just got back from the track My lowest ET was.......

    13.154 @ 106.13 MPH, .939 reaction time, 1.91 60'. I am very pleased with my car. I had 5 runs. The first was with my wife in the car. They let us run one time together. That run was 14.062 @ 102 MPH. That was also my very first run down a track ever. I had one run next to a C5. I beat him. I...

    Why did you buy a C4?

    ZR1's are awesome cars. Very good choice. Can you believe the first owner paid $70,000 for it give or take. Then you pick it up , not even broke in yet for $25,000. Thats a deal if you ask me. Man I still want one!

    Why did you buy a C4?

    We just got back from another after dinner Dairy Queen run in the CE. Had the top down, about 75 degrees out. The early spring weather in Chicago is beautiful this year. So this brings me to my question. Why did you buy a C4? Here is my reason. I loved my 88 convertible. I still prefer the...

    Took my Father-In-Law out for a ride Saturday night

    The weather was great here last Saturday. After dinner, my wife wants to go see her parents. So we decide to take the CE. When we get there, she tells her Dad to go for a ride in the Corvette with me. He says sure. He has had a couple of Corvettes in the past. Right now, he is driving a 240 HP...

    Got the Vette Dyno'd

    I am waiting for your final results also. I bought my LT4 with all the normal stuff done like K&N and Power Effects exhaust, plus it has an AFPR, headers and a 52MM TB. It might have had some tuning done, I cant tell other than it runs strong as hell.

    Selling 88 35th - How Much??

    Your car sounds very nice. Something more inline for a collector or show car person. It should not become a daily driver. I sold my 88 convertible this spring for $14,000. It was an ultra clean car, show winner in excelent mechanical condition with 48,000 miles. The buyer wanted something he did...

    I need a 4+3 tranny

    Drilled a hole through the connection? That is puzzling. No need for that. The overdrive is electric and can be disabled very easily without damaging anything. Anyway if you have not found it yet there is a very informative site at http://www.5speeds.com/dne.htm. They were the 4+3 guru's for a...

    Take a look at this clutch (pics)

    You bet she did. I bought the car from a couple down in Texas. It was her car. They bought it used with 9K on it, drove it 5 years and sold it to me with 19k on it. I knew the clutch was cooked first time I drove it down in Texas. Bleeder LT4 CE verts are hard to come by. I picked it up anyway...

    Take a look at this clutch (pics)

    My CE is back after a long winter sitting on jackstands. The old clutch is out and the new is in. Take a look at it. The pressure plate and flywheel both are purple, both have high spots where it looks like disc material has been pressed or baked in to the steel. The mechanic that changed it for...

    LT4 Anyone go to the Chicago VetteFest this weekend? (March 12-13) NO LT4's WERE THERE!!

    LT4man do you know there are only 68 CE LT4 convertibles with the red interior. Yours and mine make 2 out of the 68 are here in the Chicago area. The interior was the entire point of getting this car. I love the way the red interior just stands out over the silver paint. That is a great...

    Royal Purple tranny fluid?

    I put Redline MTL in mine this spring when the clutch was changed. It made a big diffrence in shift effort and smoothness. Much better than stock.

    LT4 Anyone go to the Chicago VetteFest this weekend? (March 12-13) NO LT4's WERE THERE!!

    We did not go this time. I heard from a bunch of people that it was a dissapointing show. Very few cars and low turnout. I would like to enter my CE in the fall show this year. My buddy has a 95 pace car he would enter with me. It would be fun I think but it is a much bigger hassle than doing...

    LT4 Stock LT4 exhaust manifolds and throttle body

    Keep an eye on ebay for GM parts. I found a brand new Grand Sport T.B. cover plate to put over my BBK T.B. Got it from a Chevy dealer in Chicago on Ebay. I was trying to hide the fact that the T.B. is not stock by putting a stock plate on it. You have to look really close to tell now. I still...

    Changing the clutch on my 96, having trouble getting the trans down, need help

    1996 LT4 Can the trans come down with the shifter still attached? That is the question. We have the exhaust off, console apart, getting ready to remove the drive shaft and C-beam. It does not look like there will be enough room to slide the trans back far enough to come down with the...

    LT4 Stock LT4 exhaust manifolds and throttle body

    That is what I am thinking. If I dont start finding the original parts now they will not be around for much longer. LT4 cars are very hard to find. I know of only two in the area. This summer I will have to look at them closely to see if I can spot any differences between there manifolds and LT1...
