I love the Corvette. I love Camaro and Mustangs too, but I see the Corvette as the American Sports Car. There's a lot of history there- and much better places than here to read about it. This is a C4- the 4th generation (current model is a C8) built from 1984 to 1996, it was one of the longest production Corvette ever, and one of the longest of any GM car ever(I think my 1982 Corvette was the longest). It also had the distinction of being one of the most complex cars to build from an assembly standpoint. There was some delay getting it to production- so no 1983 Corvettes exist- except for 1 test model in a museum. The seating position is very low inside the car, giving you the sensation of being completely enveloped. For a 25-year-old car it still has a good amount of power and torque- and it feels fast. The entire body is composite material- so no rust in Minnesota and this one looks as good as they come.
