2011 35i will drop the twin turbo

I guess I didn't understand Bluez4AZ. I thought he just wanted a pic of a stingray... You old farts probably know more about POS corvettes than I do...

I do like the 68-71 Vette the best, aside from the latest C6 models.
If only it had a better interior.

Some were used to sort out production details while others were assigned to engineering evaluation and crash testing. A few were part of a December 1982 press introduction at Riverside Raceway in California.

43 of the 44 1983 C4 Corvettes were destroyed. The one remaining car, number 23 (white), was retired to the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green KY where it is now on display. It is still owned by GM.

The C4 replacement was scheduled to be introduced in September 1983. The new design was a complete and complicated update that incorporated much new technology. Unfortunately the design team was unable to get everything ready and even though there was a desire to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Corvette with a 1983 model, they could not make it happen.

The C4 was able to meet the various 1984 safety and anti-smog regulations, so it became the first car available to do so when production started on January 3, 1983. The first 1984 C4 Corvettes were delivered to customers in March 1983."

Got it. Thanks for that little bit of vette trivia.

Was absolutely crazy for 50's and 60's European exotic designs, but wasn't much of a Vette aficionado - not saying anything good or bad - they just didn't float my boat. I admire c1 - c3 but that's as far as it goes. The latter models, say the c4 - c5 looked like design by committee. C6 is not bad but my sense is they borrowed heavily from top European marquees.

yes, thats because there was no 83. What I meant was the 80's were not good for the vette period.
