The C4 Corvette was produced from 1984 to 1996 and was a major evolution of the iconic sports car. Today we are taking a look at the history, design, and performance of the C4 Corvette, and to see why it remains a popular choice for collectors and enthusiasts today. When the C4 Corvette was introduced in 1984, it was a completely redesigned model. It featured a new, more aerodynamic body with pop-up headlights and a sleek, modern design. The C4 also featured a new interior with improved materials and a more comfortable and functional layout. It was a major departure from the previous C3 model, and it helped to bring the Corvette into the modern era. Under the hood, the C4 Corvette was powered by a variety of engines, ranging from the crossfire injection L83 that made a poultry 205 horsepower to the L98 which pumped out 230 horsepower to the insane Lotus designed LT5 for the ZR1 that cranked out 405 horsepower to the somewhat more modern Gen 2 small block LT1 with a more mainstream 300 horsepower starting point. One of the most notable features of the C4 Corvette was its advanced technology. The C4 was the first Corvette to feature oh-so-80s digital instrument panel, which was a revolutionary feature at the time. It was also available with a number of high-tech options, such as a heads-up display, active suspension, and a rearview camera. These features made the C4 one of the most technologically advanced sports cars of its time. In terms of performance, the C4 Corvette was a formidable machine. It was capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just over 5 seconds.The C4 also had excellent handling and braking performance, thanks to its advanced suspension and brake systems. If you're in the market for a classic sports car, the C4 Corvette is an excellent choice. Prices for C4 Corvettes can vary, but you can typically find a well-maintained example for around $10,000. And if you're willing to take on a project car, you can often find a running C4 for around $3,500. One of the key advantages of the C4 Corvette is its fiberglass body, which is resistant to rust. This means that body rust is typically not an issue with C4s, which is a common problem with many classic cars. However, there are a few common issues to watch out for when buying a C4. These include oil leaks at the oil cooler, leaking valve cover gaskets, and the coolant level sensor. These issues are generally not major problems and can be easily repaired. Luckily C4s are not known for any type of frame or chassis rust but the frame is still steel so it’s worth getting under the car to check out suspension mounting points and the frames they connect to. C4 Corvettes aren’t typically winter cars so this typically isn’t an issue. The C4 Chevrolet Corvette is an excellent value for collectors and enthusiasts. Its combination of performance, value, and versatility make it a great choice for anyone looking to get into the classic sports car market.
