Chair-man of the bored Homestead USA 33760 Posts Member since: 2007/12/10 0:00	Everybody who owns a C4 knows that the 90 was the best year built. It's L98 strong and mean easily out handles the alternative ZR1. The upgraded dash was copied for years but never really duplicated. It also had the best looking wheel design of the entire C4 run. Z51 upgraded suspension and brake package was worth every dime. The 6 speed made for the real men who drive Corvettes. So even if it sits in the middle of the production run, it is far superior to the C4's that were built before it and those that came for the next 6 years after. You all agree with me; Right?

Everyone knows that anyone not driving a polo LTx car is just sucking hind tit. We're also better endowed and are often called upon to truly satisfy the ladies and wives of you lesser Corvette owners.

I'm so glad they chose a C5 ass-end for it....

Look at all that aero! Shine up that paint job (I'm sure the CF C5 section can tell him which wax to use) and we are looking at the latest member of the about 600 club!
