- The most realisitic view of any car book out there

- This book gives you a good view of what you can do to the C4. It deals with the cars small issues, and gives you a good idea where to go and what to expect. It explains how hard it is to improve on GMs design here, as for suspention its tuff to out due it. But it spends little time on imporatant things like heads, cams, and intakes. More it spends much of the time talking about how the aftermarket is shadey, and what you can't improve on. So its info is great, but its drab. The author is just trying to get the truth across, but there still very little to excite you about. So if you own a C4, this is a good book for info but nothing else. And much of it I already knew. So for me this book was kind of worth it, but I could have lived without it.
- Fantastic Resource

- To Amazon customers interested in this book:
As a new owner of a '95 LT1, this book is a great resource. In fact, one paragraph I read alone was worth the price of this entire book.
I am a member of many Corvette forums, and I frequent the boards often. What this means is that I keep up with a wealth of knowledge available to you for free, yet this book has some great tips.
The tip that was worth the entire book, had to do the braking system on my car. The brakes squeaked quite a bit, and on the Corvette forums many members are talking about how the braking system isn't strong. In fact, there is even a C4 to C5 brake conversion out there.
What's interesting is that in this book, I found out why brakes seem weak. My brakes were always fine and gave me confidence. However, if you let the parking brake sit without constantly using it, the rear brakes will go out of alignment and stopping power is reduced due to full stopping power relying only on the front brakes. I followed the tip about using the parking brake, and immediately braking was smoother, and much less squeaking.
Great book, highly recommend it if you are interested in maintenance, restoration, and/or modding your Corvette.
As ever,
Will

- Book has many great ideas, but is lacking specific details. For instance: you can replace your weather stripping however there are no details as to how to do it.
- Disappointed with the projects listed in the book

- The projects listed in this book could be found in any service manual. And a true service manual would have done a better, more professional job describing the required step to complete the task. I expected 101 unique projects not a book of normal routine maintanence items
