The other day I was telling my wife about which Gen Corvette was the one that always caught my interest, which was the late model C4. More specifically, the Coupe with the 5MT in hunter green with beige leather. Anyway, I went on AutoTrader, and found one just like that, with only 24k miles and $24k. I must have stared at that listing for 20 minutes. I mean, I'm not going to do anything like that because of other circumstances in our lives, but if I were retired and looking for a new hobby... ![NOD](https://www.myg37.com/forums/images/smilies/nod.gif)

However you mostly look forward, whereas I tend to look backwards. But the real difference is that you genuinely act on your impulses, while I'm stuck in the mud.

I went through a fair number of cars since I sold my G, but really just because the numbers made so much sense to move on to something else. Too bad I sold my G before the used car market went crazy. I definitely did not make any money on that car, but it was a hell of a lot of fun to own. Truth be told, I keep looking for a red 6spd. sedan to do another build. This would be more of a street build and very simple to do since I have already done it. I just keep getting a little scared of the age and mileage. And I do not think the pricing on these cars has come back to normal yet.

If it were me considering another G, it would probably be an AWD Sport Coupe, regardless of the 7AT. I'd button down the suspension, put a nice exhaust on it, get it tuned and call it done.
Well... wheels too, I suppose.

Oh no, now look what you've started. The parts list is just going to grow.
I have been eyeing up convertibles 6spds. just to do something different and hear that beautiful uncorked exhaust even better. I just dread driving RWD in our winters again and I fear the chassis will be pretty loose with the top down. Then again, it is a hardtop so maybe you don't give up too much handling prowess with the top up for rigidity. I think it might feel a bit slow with the extra weight though.

But speed isn't everything, particularly in a Vert.

That's right! I forgot about the gearing. Is there no LSD in the S models too?

Are you asking did the Vert S with the 7AT have Limited Slip? I don't know, but I suspect it did.
Never understood the lack of LSD in the Vert 6MT. I wish there were someone who could answer that. It's like some kind of secret, like why didn't the G have a heated steering wheel? Shhhhhh

Thanks for reminding me about G car projects. Look what you started. This car looks super clean and is just screaming to become my next project car: https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...Type=spotlight
