Corvette C4 1986 autobahn

[smithraymond09029]

The ultimate "Old man having midlife crisis" car. 

[kirbyyasha]

Corvettes are just awesome

[gruby676]

I love this hronos

[KnoesAll]

@MetaView7

Its from 1986! The poor thing is like 25 years old... Not too many cars had nice dashes in that era either.

[jaecht83]

wonder how the other residents thought of the Vette...it must be a unique sight to see for European drivers...some may have never heard of the Vette. 140-145mph was right for the '84, then it went to 145-155 from '85 to '91 when they switched to the LT-1.

[rolliepollie94]

wow didn't know they had digital gauge clusters available for this version of the vette?

[mw2isforpwners]

Is this thing stock bro?

[deniseaustinlover]

Notice the upshift under heavy throttle at approximately 4,600 rpm; the L98 V8s in the C4s revved like diesel truck engines!

[RIEKSONE]

@deniseaustinlover

yeah they got good low end torque

[deniseaustinlover]

@RIEKSONE I was being a bit condescending in my post because the L98s were so asthmatic and low-revving that they resembled truck engines. And to top it off, they didn't sound very pleasing at all. Contrast that to today's Vette engines that are high-revving but extremely flexible, providing excellent low-end torque with great high-end horsepower. And they *sound* fantastic too! The Corvette's drivetrain has come a long way!

[thedreadedone]

guys... isnt 224 kmh only 139 miles per hour??? i thought these things hit 150?

im not trying to be an asshole, just asking questions.

Otherwise i love c4s! the dash makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside lol

good show gents

[JMCarfreak91]

@thedreadedone They can hit 150, but this was just a small part of the autobahn..;)

[sbeer6er]

@thedreadedone yeah i'm used to seeing my speedometer go to 150 in first gear at a blip of a throttle, of course it's not in a car that I do that.

[SuperDwang]

i am goiing to get one very soon! is there a way to upgrade the panels to look more modern and cool looking?

[vasylpoz]

i drive my VW PASSAT 1.9 TDI 115horse max 215 kmh :)

American cars is soo slooooww :) BMW 325 is faster hehe

[Poptartza]

@vasylpoz you do realize that most car built between 1974 and 1989 were generally terrible looking and extremely underpowered right?

[aldotkd1]

Good stuff!!

[racekid691792]

I love these cars, I've got an '85 myself. But it bugs me how they tend to shift to overdrive too early.

[tomboman]

Hehe, stond de vette in sport drive toen julle de autobahn op gingen? en hoeveel word ermee gereden, en gaat er vaak iets kapot?

[JMCarfreak91]

@tomboman De vette heeft niet in één of ander tijdschrift of iets dergelijks gestaan. Helaas wordt er te weinig mee gereden. 1 keer in de 2 - 3 weken... Wij onderhouden hem zo goed mogelijk en hebben er vrij weinig problemen mee gehad. De accu hebben we echter wel moeten vervangen en het dashboard geeft wel eens "service engine soon" aan terwijl het nergens mee te maken heeft. Interesse om er ook één te kopen??

[terayon04]

@tomboman huh?

[tomboman]

Is there already a part 2? and are you from the netherlands ? i love this vette and i would like to know more about it!

[JMCarfreak91]

@tomboman No there is not jet a part 2, hopefully this summer we will go to Germany. And yes we are from Holland;)

[SuperSF4yeaaa]

one of tha coolest dashes ever its like Knight Rider!!! MIKE!!!

[jayguy173]

yea even the camaros back then with the v8 did 140 they where geared really high you can be quicker by gearing lower and lowering top speed to 120

[eurolip2008]

tu auto no es c4 es c3 amigo... 

[tiagoblanquet]

oh god automatic sucks hard in "sports cars"

[ficklefackle]

i can do 200 in my altima. this is km not miles

[Bman0229]

@ficklefackle yea, he mentions that in the description

[GgreatWwhite]

Excellent video, thankyou!

The Corvette C4 was a beautiful car, a true classic.

[rickmec]

I saw 225

[JMCarfreak91]

Alright then, 225 it is! xD

[hallouil]

when you moved the video camera i saw 225 km/h. realy

[SkylarkGSX]

That Vette looks clean. And fast! Nice.

[jasa1796]

Nice, I like the red interior. I have a corvette too, mine's an 84 though. Blue and black interior.

[e4ans]

The digi dash rocks!

[nirvana19791979]

i didn't care for mine. i had an 87 with a digi dash and it was annoying past 85mph :P

[timmunn1]

hahaha thats the same thing my dad said.. i remember he had a 87 and i asked if it was fast and he said no after 85 mph it sucked and shook.. This car is not very pretty.. and isnt very fast.. however it is just a raw car with a v8.. wouldnt mind taking one to a parking lot.. and the digi dash was prob pretty cool for the 80s

[RacingRocks12]

Hmm... that don make any sense. Mines fine, maybe yours were in a wreck before. :/

[JMCarfreak91]

There is maybe coming a part 2 up!

We are going to Germany some time...;) I don't know when...

[peteq1972]

The other cars just see a Red Corvette fly past them, it`s all good press.

[IloveC4corvette]

Whit balls in the stomac ...

[quickcorvette]

awesome well done thats what you call usapwr 140 mph nicely done c4 vette`s are the very best shape ever released c5,c6 to current shape they look crap to much of ferrari shaped appearence

[FetidToecheese]

Nicely done

that auto box would drive me mad, tho!

[blahblub23]

also wisste 224kmh schafft hier jeder :P

bzw n deutschter 4-zylinder bekommt das au hin ^^

[JMCarfreak91]

You should try it sometime..., once in a while can't be that bad....

[DayTripperLennon]

i have a yellow 86 vette too but never been that fast!

[kmk408ci]

fail, its the autobahn dipshit

[pat1981lux]

Your spelling rocks, idiot. Go back to school

[Risa787]

NICE CLIP DUDE!!! Im getting an 89' Corvette soon :D

BUT.......

to the retard (PAT1981lux).....

in response to your comment on this clip....you state that the driver is not considering others on the road and that he's driving dangeroulsy..well,this is the AUTOBAHN, and youre from Luxembourg, you should know that AUTOBAHN = NO SPEED LIMIT.

Just dont waste other people time on here by posting stupid responses, esp when you dont know what youre talking about mate

[MFnDahk]

Sweet ride, gotta love the 86.

Coulda flipped the switch and shown the mph/mpg in miles and gallons for a sec instead of making me find a conversion table :P

[pat1981lux]

You idiot, I live in Luxembourg, our national language is NOT German, and we don't even want it. I know that in Germany it is allowed, but it's still dangerous for you, and the others. Don't call me retard, cos YOU are the retard

[MFnDahk]

wtf are you talking about.

[scrfce123]

You are an idiot. Despite the high rate of speed, the Autobahn is on average, one of the safest motorways on earth. Much safer than anything here in Australia anyway!

[balitaSR]

@scrfce123 put it to germans knowing how to drive

[TheCrazyFinn]

@scrfce123 Must be those murderous hitchhikers grimming your statistics? ;)

[JMCarfreak91]

Thats correct indeed!

I see that not everyone is happy wiith this video..., and it's a little bit strange to me. There are a lot of video's while you are seeing that some cars or bikes go 200 miles an hour and thats sounds good for everyone, but when my dad is driving 140 ( sorry, 139 ) miles an hour its suddenly a problem... :S......why?

[fffffaaaaaaaarrttttt]

224 kph is really 139.1936 miles per hour

(my cell phone has a unit converter)

[AnlooDeGekste]

no shit......................

[ArcticWolf4570]

what are you? a soccer mom with a caravan?

[pat1981lux]

i hope you will have a car accident and you'll sit in a wheelchair

[cinekdro]

nice car

[CorvetteManiac]

Cool hoor...

[baskepals]

224 km/h :o

realy nice car ;)

I love the sound of a american V8
