As a previous owner of a 1992 Corvette let me be the first to say my apologies. I hope you have a good time with this car because mine was the second worst car I've owned of my 14 cars behind the Lexus ES. It was cramped, unconfortable, slow compared to my 3000GT VR4, chronic brake problems, horrid road noise, handled terribly (insert old TVR handling anecdote), way too stiff on the suspension, terrible radio/speakers, didn't like all the digital-ness of the instrument cluster, and just didn't "float my boat" as I had hoped after a couple of months owning it. I hated it so bad I gave it to my mom--she liked it. Go figure. She did eventually get rid of it because it was--dare I say--unreliable (everything but the engine and transmission). Mine had ~35k original old-grandmother owned miles so no hotrodding was done to ruin it before I bought it. either.

I hope you got it cheap--if you didn't you got had. *edit* Just saw you paid $14k for it--you got had. Way too much money, you should of bought a TA or SS or something German. I paid $13k for my Vette in 2000--EIGHT years ago. :yuck: Good luck, hope you have better luck with yours.
 
Looks like a nice car to me. Shame about the slushbox.

(And you totally should have tried to find one in Competition Yellow).

You sound like my dad did when he had his C4 Vette. His was always in the shop. Nobody could ever fix it. Something would pretty much go out or start breaking weekly. Never looked back at Corvettes again, after acquiring his 944s. Although, I think he'd might have been happy with the C6 today.
 
The C5 was the only "modern" post 1982 Corvette I remotely liked. At least it was slightly more comfortable, looked better, and at least seemed to be built properly. Then GM killed the Corvette by removing popup headlights. C6 = junk solely because of that fact. :lol:

The first couple letter s of the VIN are 1G1YY. YY refering to a Corvette. My 92 Camaro was a 1G1FP.

"F-body"

If you ever wondered where all those "_-body" terms came from, here it is. J-Body, F-Body, W-Body... no one ever calls the Corvette Y-body! If only they knew.
