Was the 88 a GTA? That was a good looking year before the weird 91 beak change.

What C4’s? ZR-1 or LT-4 versions?

The main C4 engines were

1984 L83
1985-91 L98
1992-1996 LT1

The ZR1 used the LT5 from 1990-1995.

The Grand Sport with manual transmission used the LT1 in 1995 and 1996.

The only issue I had was with my 93 C4 which had rattles in the hatch area otherwise the cars were all relatively trouble free.

It was not a GTA because there was no tops available that model year for the GTA but it had the same wheels. I also had the 5.0 tpi engine though I would have loved it if the 5.7 was available.

Your completely right how they messed it up with that weird nose …

96 only LT-4

Edit: I believe the LT-4 was also used in a limited run of 97 Camaro’s.

Imagine what it would have cost if not for this insane used car market!

Actual LOL.

The S1 RX-8 might be the only vehicle immune to the current auto market insanity.
