A ragged tire that's running on 30% tread on a very boring 90 something Vette.......he needs all the attention he can get to justify spending too much money.

I sure did love my 92 C4 with a six-speed. A great track car . . .

That is exactly what I thought... Of course, I'm like the soup Nazi at a car show. I don't care what you bring, it doesn't even have to be nice, but it had better be CLEAN.

Dirty engine bay? NO CAR SHOW FOR YOU!

Which is why, even though asked several times, I never show my car.

I'd rather drive it.

Maybe if he puts it on the back tires he can do a nice burn out

Tire shine is great for getting rid of that pesky traction.

Really? How was it in corners? Not trying to be a smartass - serious question. The only time I've driven a C4 (2, both were automatics) they felt like pigs that could do little more than burnouts. Horrible handling, very heavy steering, and the whole car felt very heavy - anything but nimble.

I drive the Ferrari to a weekly car meetup here in town. It's usually covered in dust, dirt and grime. I DRIVE the car like enzo intended.

The other guys who bring Ferrari's want me banned....saying that I don't deserve the car. HA!

Owning, and not driving a cool car is like having a supermodel wife, and never having sex with her because you're saving her for the next guy.

I had a '94 six speed I tracked. It was a great car. Stock it handled fairly well given the era. I added Corvette challenge springs, Z51 sway bars, ZR1 front brakes, and a set of 9.5" width rear wheels up front. That transformed the car.

The biggest issue with the C4 is body flex. A cage really helps with handling.

Funny that the tread looks shiny but the sidewalls are dirty and not!
