LT 4 Rebuild
That is certainly one way to approach this however your original goal was to have a car that is paid for. I have considered doing the same upgrading to an early C6 ZO6 as there are plenty of them for sale. What stops me is the cost difference plus having to absorb sales...
Lt-4
Congrats on your find, silver over red is stunning...............
Bought my base coupe in 2002 for $18k, only option on the car is the LT-4 making it quite rare. Arctic White over Saddle, still under 50k mileage.
Great performance and pretty much underrated as mentioned. As far as these...
LT-4 Rebuild
$5K seems pretty reasonable for a complete rebuild considering the amount of labor involved in doing the work. I can understand your mechanic questioning why you would want to drop so much $ in it. The value of these cars has been flat since I acquired mine back in 2002. My concern...
What is the procedure to remove front fender for access to change battery on a 96 C4? Have FSM but it is more confusing than helpful. There is a rear lower bolt that I see no way to get to, which means I am missing something. Any assistance would be appreciated!
Z06/Z07 Tires
Going forward whenever a tire needs repair or replacement you have to take it to a business with this special equipment? That is an absolute mindboggler...............
The hobbyist purist definition of a muscle car is an intermediate with a large motor, upgraded suspension, aggressive looks, etc. Think Pontiac GTO, Plymouth GTX, etc. Camaros, Mustangs, Cudas all fall into the ponycar category regardless of engine size. All Corvettes are considered sports cars...
I understand what you mean regarding the weather as I have family in Salem. Judging by your user name are you a tool dealer? I agree it makes sense to draw a line in the sand at $20k for a pristine car. Can't imagine there are many LT4 cars with 15k miles around however given the current market...
LT 4 Collectibility
Good question, the car is somewhat rare as only 488 cars were Competition Yellow in 1996. Total production after adjusting for GS (1000) and CE (5412) is 15124 so that color is just over 3% of production. Given the mileage one would assume the car is pristine? Has it led a...
LT 4 Collectibility
It will definately be interesting to see how the market develops for these cars going forward. I bought my CE in 02 paying $18k with 45k miles and only put an additional 4k since. Arctic white over saddle, two option car, those being the LT4 and Bose CD. My thought was to...
Tires
I just put a set of the Conti's on my 96 LT4 about a month ago. Agree that our tire selection is dwindling, especially if your need is immediate. Many of the latest and greatest performance tires are not offered in any C4 tire size. I based my purchase decision on tire rack reviews and...
Goodyear Availability
I anticipate what we buy going forward will be determined by what is available at time of need. I have been a Goodyear fan for many years, I recently bought a set of Conti's for my 96 as they were immediately available at 40% less $. As Goodyear reduces the number of...
Lt$ Oil Analysis
Hib, I am not familiar with the Gibbs product line. Do you consider it superior to Amsoil or Redline and if so can you please share why?
C4 Tires
I recently purchased a set of Conti DW Extreme tires for my 96 LT4 CE. As you mentioned, Goodyear has had supply problems for quite some time. We can't buy something we can't get so i went with the Conti's based on user reviews. Saved some $ too.............................
Gas Quality
Here in the San Francisco Bay Area the best we can get is 91 octane at a cost of approximately $4.45 for a Top Tier brand. I believe gas quality is getting worse from a car enthusiasts standpoint. The more ethanol they add the more issues there will be with rubber parts breaking...
Handling is very good to excellent. When you consider the pricing in my mind the Conti's are the best buy out there. In the 12 years I have owned this car I have always run Goodyears, had they been available I am not sure they would be worth the additional cost. Many will say the Michelin Pilots...
275 40 17 Tire Availability
Anticipate the C4 tire situation getting worse in the future, laws of supply and demand. Our sizes are not common in todays market, most of the latest high performance tires are not even offered in 17 inch sizes. sad but true. Hopefully a couple manufacturers will...
