  17 year old Corvette, still fun - 1990 Chevrolet Corvette
  By inaband - November 19 - 11:43 pm

  I have a C5, and I had a chance to buy this 1990, for cheap, could not turn it down, new clutch, great sound, needs detailing, but any C4 is a bargain these days, if you find one buy it. These are still simple enough to work on, except for the electrical issues that are hard to figure out...lucky for me, my car is fine.

  Red Vette Convertible - 1990 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Gary - May 2 - 2:55 pm

  I purchased this Corvette for fun and it has certainly not disappointed. While a bit tight to get into and out of, you cant drive it without a smile on your face. Power is adequate, not mind boggling. Handling is great. Convertible top, though manual, goes up and down with ease.

  Red Rocket - 1990 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Bobby H - March 19 - 2:00 am

  Bought it new and store it every winter. It is completely original down to the tires. Each spring is a kick in the pants when it is brought out of the garage. The 6 speed shifts smoothly and easily tops 100 in 3rd. On trips it always gets at least 28 miles per gallon. What more could you ask for...and when I bought it there was a $10k factory incentive so it only cost $28k new. WOW!!

  Red Rocket - - 1990 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Dave B - Canada - January 4 - 2:00 am

  I own an 87 Corvette - only 30,000 miles on it - runs like a new car, performs like a race car. Chev was right at the top of their game. ITs a joy to work on, modify and lots of stuff to buy to make it even better... cheap to buy used, and cheap to modify to stellar levels [compared to other high po cars]. No problems, except the alarm system.

  ZR-1 After 10 years of driving - 1990 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Ken M. - April 1 - 2:00 am

  Just a thrill and fun car to drive. I thought that the "muscle" cars like from the 60s would never come back. I was wrong. I bought mine with 12500 miles on it, was just broken in and ready to really go!
