What exactly are you having done?

You really need to drive both and see what you like. They are very differnt cars. I loved my C4s, but the C5 is in my ownerships experiance is better car. I would go with a higher mileage C5 for a multitude of reasons.

Though there are many Corvettes out there that are worth way less than $4500.00, I think the article is just plain bull~hit. Even the most un-interested auto owner would know some of those cars listed would be worth more than 5 times the clunker allowance even in terrible shape. A 87 GNX ...

The Motor Trend comparison was very strange. My take was that they were looking for a car that was friendly to drive at its limits. Obviously if its limits are very very high like the ZR-1 it will require lots of real driving skill to get the most out of it. We see horsepower numbers all...

I also always wanted a late model ZR-1. I drove a few. There is no comparison between a 405hp ZR-1 and a 300hp LT1. Even though I have been known to turn a wrench or two my self over the years, the parts situation for ZR-1s as you noted has something to be desired and the price for available...

I had 2 of each. 2 1999s and 2 1995s. There is no comaprison, the C5s make it look easy. I love to drive with the roof off, with the C4 it was shake rattle and roll. Not to mention having to unbolt the roof panel. I still like the looks of the C4 better, but the C5 is faster and more...

What is a 1988 Vette with 175K miles on it, fair condition worth? (Light blue, automatic) Here is the story. Neighbor has the car, needs lots of TLC and rubber - from tires to gaskets but runs OK. No one over 20 years old who ever heard the phrase "L4 and L5" would want to spend more than a...

They are not posted on my webpage - but I can email some reduced quaility clips -

My past 95's all had automatics with the 3.07 rear. My first had a CAI and a Corsa exhaust with some other small mods, its ran a best of 13.3. I have a perfect 7 mile flat strech of highway near my house. Fastest my C4s went was about 167 on the decline side. It was slightly faster than bone...

My 3 95's must have been duds.

But did you actually see 170 in your 95?

I would say its stored in the cars ECM not in the cluster. Reason being is that I replaced a IP cluster on a 1999 C5 as part of an upgrade to add a HUD dispaly to that car. We dont know the actual mileage of the "Low miles wreck" it came out of, but it did read the actual mileage on my friends...

Dont worry about it, there are 1000s of good cars out there and its a buyers market. I had a few "perfect deals" fall through before I even eventually flew out to Ohio from New York to get my current C5.

Today its called "getting a tune". It can be bad if done wrong. If done right you can pick up a noticable amount of power. Multiple data tables are adjusted and the changes can be made specifically for your car - instead of general changes like the older "chip" replacements did. This is best...

6 years ago I was interested, not an option now.

I had 2 GTOs, (68 & 70) and 2 1974 Grand AMs. What great cars the Grand Ams were. All but forgotten. Big comfy cars that had the handling of European sedans - but with a 400 or 455 cid engine. Much more of a total package than the GTO was.

They are a sort of manufacturing code that you will find on many products that were made in a mold of some sort. The molds - or casts are only used for a certain amout of time before they are replaced and a new mold to cast the product is used. The symbols represent roughly how many times and...

Is the car all original? Bone Stock? Do you have service records? How long have you owned it? It’s the first C4, so if its all stock, and you had if for awhile and have the service records and maybe some original documentation that would be a plus. $3500 to 4k is what I would expect.

You will find a very large amount of info about the steering wheel lock problem on C5s. Just do a search. You can purchase what is known as a Colume Lock Bypass" kit for under $50. to prevent future issues. Good luck with the new car.
