Hey guys, how do you compare the fox 87-93 to the corvette c4 88-91 in terms of overall performance, ride quality and driving experience. Thank you

I have a first year fox (bought new) and a first year C4 (bought almost new). Both were enjoyable. Neither have the original engine (351 in the fox, ZZ4 in the C4). After hauling my kids around was no longer an issue, the C4 became my daily driver.

I am thinking about getting a new tractor/lawn mower, how do they compare to the '87-'93 Fox Body.

Year/Hours? If getting a John Deere green typically has higher resale value.

The Mustang will start more reliably year after year so long as you're aware of the Ford solenoid issue.

Oh wait... Most tractors use these too.

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

I wasn’t to make sure everybody read this again.

I feel like even guys that own c4 vettes secretly hate them. They’re like the bastard years of corvette.

C5 and later are so much more worth the money. If you can stomach a c6 you’ll get the ls3 as the base engine. Just a camshaft And headers away from 500whp.

In a Sea of bastard cars produced in the same time period. It just wasn't a great time for cars.

Alright, enough about a mediocre american 'sports' car.
(Talking about the c4 version, the others were great cars)
And more about an american icon.
And the subject of this website.

Spend a lot of time reading the posts on the corvette forum. It's an enlightening experience. .
