It's the gen that pulled corvette from the tar pits and showed the world that it can really take on the world and for a time in the 80's it was one of the fastest cars money could buy. the corvette wouldn't be where it is today without the c4.

I have one. As long as you properly inspect your purchase and make sure its from an owner who gave a damn about the car it can be a reliable daily driver. Stuff will break (its a 37 year old car at its max) but the aftermarket is huge and youll save a lot of money if you wrench yourself. Its a whole lot of car and you can get one for less than 10k for one in near showroom condition. I love these cars, and even though people love to hate on the C4, the corvette would never be what it is now without the breakthrough designs of the C4. After all, the C4 defined the shape of all corvettes to come (theres even touches of it in the c8 as well)

+Klaus Wandelburg - Klaus, check out the ZR-1 Net Registry, it is a website dedicated to "Keeping the Legend Alive" www.zr1netregistry.com/ There is a Marketplace Section in the website that lists 1990 through 1995 ZR-1's that are for sale by owners in the US. I have seen prices range from $16,000 for a high mileage ZR-1 to $60,000 for a 1995 that only has 2,300 miles on it. The owners are all over the US,(Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona), but if you are coming to the States, it might be worth contacting the owners and make a deal. Paying here and shipping to Europe might be cheaper than buying there in Germany. I hope you get a chance to go to the Corvette Museum, it is pilgrimage every 'Vette lover should make!

It's almost terrible (I mean in terms of the razor thin tonal/diction/aesthetic margin and potentially missing the mark) but it somehow does everything exactly right, in the exact right tone, exact right timing, and exact right combination to be universally delightful, and somehow still not quite silly. Every single word is perfectly chosen. I'm completely serious, as ads go, this is art. This is Don Draper level.

The Doug Nash 4+3 Transmission in those Corvettes had 4 forward gears and in gears 2-4 an additional overdrive could be selected by a button on the gear shift lever. So you had basically 7 gear ratios. The overdrive was computer activated and deactivated. A "shift light" is also part of the system that recommends upshift under certain conditions. It has nothing to do with emissions and you can burn all the gas you want with it. But you CAN achieve better fuel economy if you would like to.

It did have many issues. What made things worse was how tightly crammed everything was under the hood. That made every component run hotter than it should, and it also meant that replacing those components was more labor intensive. My mother's 1985 Nissan Maxima (And everyone elses) suffered from similar problems.

If you couldn't get a CFI car to run then you weren't a very good tech. I owned an 84 that was set up by someone who knew them well and it ran excellent and gave me no trouble at all.

I actually saved my money and bought a 1985 Corvette for $28,476.49 after seeing this commercial. The music is very similar to Flash Gordon soundtrack by Queen in 1980. It is a shame those model years were so problematic. Sadly In the first 11 months the dealer had it more than I did. Sold it after having it for 11 months and got what I paid for it after driving it for 10,000 miles.

@vettenut08 - At least one still exists in the National Corvette Museum. They made 43, IIRC, as pilot production and press long-lead cars. The reason the 84 was designated such, by the time GM did get them to dealers, it was March 83. The car met all standards for 84, so they did that so they wouldn't have to deal with a short model year. as it is, the long model year is #2 in sales, with 1979 being #1.

Never before available unidirectional (moving or operating in one direction only) turbine fin wheels. So I guess most cars before 1984 had wheels that drove in opposing directions. But thanks to the 1984 Corvette's groundbreaking cutting edge take charge technology a revolution has taken place and all cars now have wheels that are unidirectional. It's a beautiful thing.

@TonyMaximMuscles - Correct. The wheel has vanes, and these vanes are designed to draw air IN too cool the brakes. Later wheels drew low pressure air OUT to cool the brakes and reduce the under car low pressure zone.

@jvarela965 I have a 1984 z51. While I don't argue your point the '84 had a couple things going for it. It had the stiffest suspension ever put under a vette and with the z51 package it has a racing steering ratio. Just two turns lock to lock versus 3.5 turns for standard steering. Also it came with positraction. Those things make the car like a big go cart. With an upgraded power train it is some serious fun!
