A lovely drive in a C4

[Nassau65]

I had a nice drive in a 1991 convertible today, top down in the sunshine. I forgot how nice these cars are to drive. Hard to believe the car is 31 years old. I had a beautiful turquoise one in 1991, the drive bought back very pleasant memories. They are excellent value for money nowadays, and I think prices will be increasing in the not to distant future.

I heard someone say they have great handling because they are a bit like F1 cars where the front wheels stick out from the rest of the frame.

They were a great improvement over the previous generation of Corvettes. ( the C3) the design team certainly paid attention on the handling etc. it was and still is a fantastic car. Yes, it was a totally different car than its predecessor, but it moved with the times. On its launch in 1983 it was a modern car, and was improved upon with great affect over the years. Hard to believe the first of them are now approaching 40 years old.

Sounds like a long time but only 480 months ago.

That’s a bloody long time to me

That dashboard was so futuristic, at night it was fantastic with a capital F. You thought you were in a spaceship. I absolutely loved it.
Great or what.

The new for 1990 dash was a little more conventional than its predecessor, with a mixture of LCD and traditional gauges. Still nice and modern, but less futuristic.
