C4 Corvette Fun/Track Car

[dan_t]

I'm by no means a Yank fan but after driving the C4 Corvette I knew I had to get one - have had this car for a couple of years now and its gone through various stages and here's where we're at now.

Its not been the most reliable car for sure but everytime I get out and stamp on that loud pedal it puts a grin on my face from here -------- to here and I think thats whats most important

My last car was a highly modified Nissan 200sx S14 with around 390hp thanks to a full Greddy Turbo kit and engine management. It was an awesome car but lacked the feeling of speed that the Vette has

Awesome cars those- My father had a vette when I was a kid with straight through pipes- my lord it sounded like the world was coming to an end! Apparently felt like a big go-kart to drive... God willing one day I'll have one! Loving yours though- any ideas on a rough output at the moment?

450fltb / 485-500hp I would guess

Fantastic car. I've always thought about getting a C4 and preparing it for track.
