Actually, they had the in-cab tuneable exhaust all along. The
suspension was also in-cab adjustable. Not to mention the active
aero system which changed the angle of the rear wing and dropped the
front air dam down. :-) All wheel drive, viscous limited slip
differentials, all wheel steering...
I had a black '91 VR-4 before I bought my Dak. I bought it used with
about 18K on it for less than $20K. Vettes didn't pose any difficulty
whatsoever. :-) After owning it for a couple of years, I got $18K for
it as a trade-in on my Dak. (The warranty was about to expire, and it
had too much expensive stuff to break.) :-) I was around 19 when I
bought the VR-4, and I was working at Burger King at the time. A few
weeks later I took a really high roller job in the lawn and garden
department at Wal-Mart. (Yuppie?) ;-) It probably wasn't a great idea
but I have no regrets; I got just about all of my money out of it, I
certainly got my money's worth, and I had an absolute blast driving it;
its an awesome vehicle.
