I get it... this is like the IQ test where they show a dog, a cat and a shoe box, and ask which doesn't belong, right? Other than the flat top 'eyelid' tail lights, I don't see anything that reminds me of the Camaro. And the cheap looking black plastic has been removed from this rendition...

What you wrote about the notion of being misleading at resale time makes me think about all the 2003 Corvettes I see advertised as "50th Anniversary Edition", when they're not. Just because all 2003 Vettes have the 50th anniversary badges, it does not make them a 50th Anniversary Edition...

Congrats on your LT4! In my humble opinion, you made a great purchase! I agree with a lot of what you've said. I'm not big into badges or stripes either, but I still bought the LT4 Collector Edition. It was my first Vette and I wanted the LT4, but I also had to have a silver Vette. So while I...

IMO, we should just agree that the LT4 engine and the C4 Grand Sport engine are the same thing, because they are. They're identical. The engine in my Corvette could just as easily have ended up in a C4 Grand Sport. Some LT4 engines made their way into Firebirds. But a Firebird with an LT4 sure...

I would never do it! To me, the Grand Sport is more than just the motor. They only made 1,000 C4 Grand Sports, and to my OCD way of thinking, doing anything that could mislead an uninformed person to think a non-GS Vette was a GS is not quite right. :nono That having been said, I would also try...

My take on NORTY's post is that he was saying the cheapskates *wouldn't* have the opportunity to get a CORvette for a CHEvette price, since there would be no C6's left by the time the C7's arrive. Naturally I'm prone, as always, to being dead wrong.;shrug :Steer SAVE THE WAVE!!! :lou

I think I'll stick with the LT4. From what I've read and seen, the LT4 was under-rated by Chevy so as to make the next year's C5 buyers feel like they were getting something that was an improvement over the C4 (one reason why they didn't make a '96 ZR-1.) A lot of dynos show the stock LT4 in the...

When I bought mine, there were several ZR-1's on the market. They cost a bit more, although from what I could see their prices had been dropping. But that wasn't what made me go with the LT4. Performance is close to the ZR-1 as any other C4 (still falls short though!) Also, I bought into the...

That looks nice! I have to admit though, now that it looks like we may have a couple of options, I'm starting to be my normal choosy self. Tam sent me file showing the badge he located and it looks nice. On the decal, I don't like the 4. Do you know if there is there any flexibility on that...

I don't know the exact dimensions, but 1"x6" sounds about right. I would prefer no dash ( "LT4" instead of "LT-4" ) but given the availability, I don't think being choosy is an option. Any photo examples? Contact info? Thanks!

I've been looking for one of those for over a year and a half! I've scoured the interweb, including ebay and every Corvette parts site I can find, but no luck! I've even tried getting a couple guys who were selling their LT4's locally to peel them off and sell them to me! Still no luck...

I hear ya! The LT4 comes alive ABSOLUTELY at high rpm! I love the way I feel it take off at around 4000 rpm. Tough to do in 3rd or 4th gear, if you want to obey any posted speed limits, but well worth it all the same! :Steer

When I bought mine, I had it inspected by the owner of a local Corvette shop. He showed me an area where he had stock exhausts stacked against a wall (more than I would care to count!) He clearly had very little use for them, so if you're interested in a stock exhaust system that's used, you...

Welcome to the CAC, easily the best Corvette forum! :CAC That is one sweet ride!!! You made an excellent choice, in my completely objective opinion. :pat :Steer

I'm obviously not going to be 100% objective about this, but I don't see that an LT1 vert could be as valuable as a well maintained LT4. I think KBB values alone are several thousand higher for the LT4. Down the road, there should be something a about it (other than being a vert) to make it...

and what are the odds of getting you to sell that LT4 bowtie emblem separately?!?!??? :upthumbs :w

The programming is easy, at least according to the owner's manual. It's the new remote that will cost a bit. Around $200 plus S&H. Here's a link from Ecklers. You might find a cheaper one somewhere else, like Mid America, or even eBay, etc. Corvette Replacement Keyless Transmitter, Coupe...

I don't know how accurate this web site is... it isn't maintained, or at least it's not up to date. But it does have production numbers. 1996 Chevrolet Corvette Stats, Facts, Trivia and Options According to it's info: - 21,536 total 1996 Corvettes were produced (probably includes the...

I would love to have a garage like this! :beer The guy I bought my Corvette from had something similar, except it was a three story "garage" with only the middle floor used for working on the cars he had (he's wealthy and his car collection blew my mind!) The top floor was for entertaining and...

Now that you've had it for a few days, how would you compare it to the SVO? I'm pretty sure I know how I would answer... ;) :v :v :v
