C4 Corvette 1984-1996
There was no Chevrolet Corvette in 1983. The new C4 Corvette was so important that Chevrolet stopped producing the car for a model year. The delay was worth it. The C4 Corvette, introduced for the 1984 model year, was a revolution in design and technology that was the best Corvette yet.

The C4 Corvette built on its traditional ideals and added new technology to become a faster, more advanced, better handling, and more reliable car. It had a digital dash, overdrive transmission, and a whole new unibody structure with a focus on cornering. Throughout its 13-year production run, the C4 Corvette just got better. The convertible model returned for 1986. The Doug Nash 4+3 overdrive transmission was replaced with a high-tech ZF 6-speed manual for 1989. The L83 V-8 was replaced with a more advanced LT1 in 1992, for an additional 50 horsepower for the base model. Chevrolet introduced the legendary ZR-1, with a double-overhead-cam engine designed by Lotus and produced by Mercury Marine, in 1990. It was a 405-horsepower monster and thanks to the C4 Corvette's focus on handling, it was able to compete in more than just a straight line. As a final bow, Chevrolet introduced the Gran Sport model for 1996, complete with taut, sporty suspension and the 330-hp LT4 V-8.
