I'm looking at a 1993 Corvette 6 speed. It's a two owner car, the second owner being an old friend of mine. He passed away in January of 2015, and his sister has decided to sell it. It's black on black with a leather interior, and only 17,000 miles. I can get it pretty cheap, but wondered if there were any well know trouble spots with that year. Not planning to autocross it, just a street ride.

Thanks for the replies. Mojave, I didn't realize you could run the LS coils and computer, but if that would improve reliability, it would be worth investigating. I can probably get it for $9500, and would be the 3rd owner. I don't plan to autocross it, but it could happen. I wonder if it's faster than my my '02 Z-28.

The swap to an LS computer requires some work and cash (need a reluctor wheel mounted somewhere and coil mounts, for instance), but it is doable, and in my opinion, is the best fix for opti bullshit. If your Z28 is stock, the Corvette is definitely faster on the same tires. If you start autocrossing on sticky tires, you will have the same front hub problems as a 4th gen. I ASSume the swap brackets to C5 hubs will work on a C4 with longer bolts (the C4 front uprights are aluminum and thicker than the steel 4th gen uprights), but I don't know if anyone has actually tried it.
