Since I bought my 96 Coupe last April, I think it has been you posting about
the shaking/twisting of the C-4's.  Honestly, I thought you were just
bitching about something minor.  The first time I drove it with the roof
off, I 'd only had it a week or so and didn't know the feel of the car very
well.  Last week I took it off again.  Wow, now I know what you mean.  I
still love the car and don't usually worry about taking the top off, but man
what a change it makes in the feel of the car with it off.  I guess I'll
just have to deal with it until I get my 78 back on the road or buy a C-6.

The C5 is a solid car also.  Couldn't believe the handling and the
sturdiness over our C4.

I'm sure sometimes I am bitching but I was just very disappointed and have
said so. I wanted a Corvette in the worst way and thought that the C4 was
just that, the worst way. My Corvette ownership had a 24 year hole in it
while I shuffled kids around in stationwagons and a van. I even drove one of
the C4s and just couldn't stand the shake. It took a few more years before I
couldn't stand not having one and bought the '92. Over the years I got use
to it although I didn't like it, then I drove the new C5. My order went in
that day, Monday May 5th, 1997, it arrived Thursday Oct. 30, 1997 as a 1998.
I'm not as disappointed in the C6 as it might sound some times, the big
difference between the C4 and the C5 had my expectations set a little higher
than GM had set theirs between the C5 and the C6. If I can survive a few
more years I hope to have a C7, by then they might change the generation by
offering a new color.

====================
Sincd Dad "invented" the term Flexable Flyer" I have adopted it
also...  

But It has been at least 5 years since I had the roof panel off y
95...and then it was only to switch the solid top off and put the
glass top on....   AND this is after I installed the cross brace from
a convertible on my car...

Wow, turning 60 in 3 seconds is really quite impressive unless you are
going downhill more than you are willing to admit. (However, it's all
downhill after 17!)

 I  had the top off for a good 2 weeks  last summer. ('86)Should I be
concerned about doing this? It does not appear to have affected anything as
far as I can tell.  Also ,quick question--the outer door seal-  is it just
the three rivets holding it on.I want to replace them but have not dealt
with rivets too often.  thanks,

joe
