Im putting up for sale a rare & unique 1996 LT4 Corvette coupe. Car is in excellent condition with only 60k miles & has an excellent carfax. Fist off the car is an LT4 model. The LT4 engine was only available to 6 speed models in 1996. These motors were known to have been grossly underrated in power output by GM. The official GM stated output was 330hp, however many stock units were dyno'd at close to 400hp. Most speculate GM deliberately underrated them so they wouldn't overshadow the upcoming LS1 engine in the C5 corvette. To make this car stand out from other LT4s out there it has had thousands of dollars in extras/modifications invested in it. Here is a list of what has been done or installed:
1. Genuine GM Grandsport Rims
2. Brand new matching tires all around(275/40/17s front & 315/35/17 rears).
3.Long tube headers(I still have the originals)
4. Borla exhaust
5.Custom 3 inch tubing with X-pipe connecting headers to the Borlas
6.MSD Digital 6 Plus Ingition, MSD wires, and MSD Coil(coil not installed yet)
7.Grandsport paint stripes
8. New double din JVC cd/radio with aftermarket speakers replacing the Bose units.
9. Hypertech programmed with programmer included.
10. B&M Short Shifter.
Car is Torch Red with the black Grandsport stripe scheme. No leaks. Goes down the road straight. Manual 6-speed transmission. Leather dual power seats in great shape. Auto climate control that blows cold air. All manuals(including original window sticker), two sets of keys with key fobs. I have the security socket for the lug nuts as well as the ratchet for the roof. Paint & body are in awesome shape. Id rate them a 9 out of 10. Interior is a 7.5 out of 10 with some signs of wear hear & there.
The bad: the power antenna mast no longer goes down. Its stuck in the up position & the motor works but it needs a new ribbon(I have the repair kit, just havent installed it). Also some of the weather stripping is starting to dry up.

Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green
Fri, 01 Mar 2013With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.
GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
