nice LT4. I have been debating for over a year about getting another corvette. Either a LT4 or ZR1 (93 to 95 only for the 405hp model). How much did you pay for the LT4? You can get some good info at http://www.corvetteforum.com

BTW, you can tune OBDI and OBDII computers! Needless to say, nice car. And btw, dont pay $500 for a wheel bearing again!

Yep, I drove one about 9 years ago and fell in love with the car. It was a steel blue '91. I should have bought the car, oh well... Only thing about the LT5 are some stuff may be hard to find and i've never worked inside an overhead cam motor. I can get a LT4 for little to nothing in today economy. They are the only two C4's i'de consider getting.

Very true. The engine was a joint effort between Lotus and Mercury Marine. Good luck finding engine replacement parts for one tho, I've been told they're nonexistent.

Lt5 Vettes are great cars, but are not meant to be daily driven.

THey can be daily driven. You just have to be willing to custom make eveyrthing on the car that breaks.

the zr1 parts are not "that" hard to find. there is the http://www.zr1.net and a few other web sites I cant think of now that have the parts for the car. Only thing you cant find are stuff like the windshiend and of course a "brand new" engine. But the parts are definetly there.

BTW, check out the http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com they have a all LT4 forum there.
