    Oh...that's a beauty! You're going to love the LT 4...I know I do. Any excuse to go for a drive does it for me! Question...what do you think of the Corsa exhaust? I'm trying to decide which way to go on mine and I'm torn. I don't need to replace the entire system. I don't want it to sound like a pickup truck, so I've decided against FlowMaster. May go back to stock to get rid of the drone from the system on my car now.

    The exhaust sounds great. It sure doesnt sound like a pickup.. I have only driven the car about 200 miles but on the highway running between 60-75 it was not offensive on the iside of the car

    Beautiful car!!! And very rare color, too. I went from a 1988 convertible to a 1996 Grand Sport convertible some time ago and thought it was an enormous jump in performance, technology, etc. Good luck...and glad you're back!

    Wow...what a great looking car...Some say it is the very best of the C4 line except for maybe the ZR-1's. Well done!

    It's a beauty. Looks mint.

    Very nice LT-4 - Congratulations.

    I hope it's not too long before I'm showing "my new vette!"

    Good luck with that beauty - the LT-4 was a nice choice.

    Default Second Comment!

    Dude, I commented before on how nice this looks ans just had to say again, great color and condition. Just get rid of the ugly sticker under the mid brake light and get smoked out plate covers front and rear and this will look outstanding! You must be a happy man, congratulations!

    Damn, too bad. It's a crime already just to have to have a front plate. At least we can disguise the ugly up here!
