Styling, inside and out, was the primary factor for me. At the time I was looking for a car, I was considering getting a house, too. I didn't want a car payment, so I instead of getting a C6, I got...

I'm sort of with Fred, since I know the track can REALLY put you in your place. But I think it would be fair to add that if you're getting 15 second timeslips in an LT1 car, you need to learn how to...

93, manual, rear end sound! (I did search)

I've read a bunch about the teflon washers and I'm not totally sure that's my problem. If I'm going slowly in, say, second gear, and goose it a little so the rear squats a bit, I hear a creaking...

Hi all,

In addition to the other things mentioned, I'd also check out the rubber tube that connects the air filter housing to the throttle body, just to see if it's collapsing once you open the throttle. I...

Glad I saw this thread!

Lately since it's been cool out, I've been driving with the A/C off and windows down. By doing this the fans don't come on until the temp gets up there a bit. Since I...

BRAKE and ASR lights come on when I really lean on it

This is pretty wierd. It's pretty repeatable, too. This is happening with my 93.

I don't normally dig into it in first because it's sort of a waste. Traction control kicks on, and that's...

DAMMIT! I was hoping for an answer here... lol I'm having the same issue with my 93. But it doesn't always do it. I've checked the 3 door plungers, and they're all adjusted pretty well, I think. ...

My 93 C4 is my first 6 speed, and it had 92k on it when I bought it. I'm really happy with it, too. The only thing I can compare it to is an 01 SS Camaro my Dad bought new, and I actually like the...

I have a friend who uses it pretty regularly on small boat engines he'll buy and fix up and sell. If it breaks up carbon, it's worth SOMETHING, though so is water. I'd probably prefer water,...

Power locks...'sorta' work

In my 93, I can't lock or unlock both doors with the button or key fob. The passenger side will UNlock with the key fob, and almost lock via the the switch. The driver's side lock tab on the inside...

93 LT1 6-speed: how conservative is the tune?

I'm new to Corvettes, but not unfamiliar with tuning. I have another car, a Ford, that is a sort of rolling science experiment. We do a lot of logging, testing and tuning with that, but it's a...

They're just such different cars... I have a Fox Mustang in addition to the C4, and while the Mustang is faster (straighline), I have *zero* inclination to try and make the Vette hang with it. I...

I would think that for what you could sell your 92 for and what the ZR-1 motor would cost, you could pretty much buy a ZR-1. Or at least it would be close enough to make the project seem not worth...

Happy to be here! :)

Hi everyone! My name is Mike, and I just got a 93 6-speed coupe.

It's my first Vette, though I'm a long time car-guy. Ever since my uncle Joe had a string of C4s when I was a teenager, I've...
