LOL, does the Corvette really need the stamp of approval from a man who lives in a country that represents an insignificantly tiny market share for the car? I'm always at a loss to understand why people think the opinion of Top Gear matters in the slightest.

This is very common on the 1990. You have two impact sensors on the front frame rails, they have lost their ground with the frame due to corrosion. They need to be removed, sanded, and re-grounded with dielectric grease. There is a procedure for resetting the code but I don't remember where I...

Wow, what a well-written article. That was pretty sophisticated technology for an option offered twenty years ago. I never really understood what FX3 actually did until I read this article and saw the diagrams, maybe more people would have ordered the option if they understood it. Years ago I...

I know what you're talking about, when you walk into the parts department and they grudgingly turn the monitor in your direction to substantiate the part you want...GM will never put that nifty software on the internet. I have ordered parts from both gmpartsdirect.com and gmpartshouse.com...

All very good responses so far, and I'd like to add my two cents. If you get the opportunity, take a test drive in a c4. The handling is worlds apart from a mustang. The corvette, especially the c4, rides and handles like a sports car. It's like a go-cart, small fast and light. I love my 08...

Wow, I never thought of it this way. I was going to buy locks for my wheels but you saved me the expense!

I waxed my new 08 the day after I bought it. I told the dealer when I bought it that they didn't have to detail it for me, I would do it myself. I'm never quite happy with the way other people wax my car, they usually get wax on the exterior plastic parts such as the a pillar or underside of the...

Rick, tell the truth, your wife picked out your hat and shirt so it would match the car, right?:L

Not my taste. Imagine trying to find a buyer for that thing when the time comes.

Cars are not investments, so you'll never get out what you pour into it. Kind of sounds like you'll sell it later on anyway. The market for c4s is awful, they made over 300,000 of them and none of them will be collectors items, so if you have a sentimental attachment to the car and plan on...

No disrespect to jimbob, but I have successfully used any fiberglass repair kit to repair holes in the floorboards. They have the stuff at home despot or Slowes, or your local auto parts store. It's idiot proof, just cut out the bad parts, make a mold like jimbob says, cut your glass fiber to...

I worked very very hard to buy this car and saved up my pennies for a long time to buy it, my first brand-new car right off the lot. Finally got some pics this morning, but first some thoughts after finally having the time to drive it around yesterday: 1) Not a single creak from the roof...

Thanks everyone, I'll try to get some pics this weekend. The car has chrome gumby wheels, which are a bit too flashy for me, but I guess I'll get used to them!

right here in Honolulu. Same colors as my 05, black over black. The steering is very different from the 05, it's much more precise. The car came with F55, and it rides more smoothly in tour mode around town than the base suspension in my 05. Dual roof panels, 3LT. The stereo sounds a little...

The insurance company is way, way off. They made over 300,000 c4s, and the value of them will never go up, it's just not a collector car. I don't mean to sound harsh, but the only thing different about an 88 anniversary is the white side moldings, white seats, white wheels, and white steering...

LOL some of your guys, this is a $50,000 car and some of you want to cheap out on the air filter. In for a penny, in for a pound, I just got the AC delco filter from the dealer and it wasn't cheap, but it's a genuine GM part.

I'm guessing that cracked footwells have less to do with improper jack placement than the nature of the car itself: the floor pans from the seats forward are fiberglass, and when you're out driving they bear the brunt of everything that comes your way: rocks, speedbumps, logs, traffic cones...

Interesting, but the problem is it looks nothing like a Corvette. People have been talking about the possibility of a mid-engine corvette since the 70s. Pick up any book about the corvette and invariably you'll see the author say something like "...unfortunately, the mid engine corvette would...

I just checked that famous auction site, there are about a dozen of them on there right now for as low as $20

over time the glass top develops stress cracks due to the flexing of the chassis/window header/rear bow. it's most common in the corners. in sunlight you can see fine cracks in the top, is this what you're talking about? I've seen this in nearly all c4s with a transparent top, they are very...
