Most C4's on the road are really not that taken care of...Buy one to drive...The motor alone will get plenty attention at car shows ..You will get the phrase " I remember when these came out " all the time....

Since its over 25 years old your classic insurance will be super cheap and its a ten dollar safety inspection in most states..
I agree on the "Buy and drive". Dont overpay for an "investment"... buy a driver, enjoy the hell out of it considering how cheap insurance is.

If it goes up in 20-30-40 years, great. If not, think of the stories you'll have...

I bought mine to pass down to my boys. Just like the 93 Mustang I own for 20 years already, imagine the stories we'll be able to tell down the road of the 94 ZR1 dad bought on 4th of July during a Pandemic... :cheers:

I couldn?t agree with you more. I enjoy the hell out of mine, spent more than it will ever be worth, and don?t even care. I just love it for what it is and nothing more. I can think of tons of better things to invest in and definitely not any C4. They?re a poor man?s kind of, sort of Supercar of it?s day.

The adventures (C4 Gathering at Bowling Green, Tail of the Dragon, Carlisle, cars and coffee) and the lifelong friendships I have made since owning my Z make it PRICELESS!

Another good thing to consider though,it does qualify now as a classic....Which means you won't in fact see many on the road...Which means when you do see one in nice shape it does stand out...

The C4 I think is the lowest in height among all the vettes I believe and one of the most aerodynamic ones ever produced...

A lot don't realize how much aerodynamics plays when your getting into the triple digits..Given the low roof line of the C4 and the wide *** on the ZR-1 and rear wheels it gives a pretty aggressive look, especially if the back is lowered a few inches..

With the ZR-1 you can argue you have the best of the " Bastard" generation....Few would disagree...

This is true, however the C4 does have a frontal area advantage.

"Because it has a greater frontal area, the C5 Z06 actually has slightly more drag than a C4 Corvette"

That?s why the C4 ZR-1 has a higher top speed than the first ZO6?s.
In fact, it?s the fastest factory stock production Chevrolet ( or any GM production car ), of the Twentieth Century. Bragging rights...Yesss.
