1984 Chevy Corvette
The 1984 Corvette was the newest generation of the famed sports car. The C4 as it was called was completely revamped to fit with the changing fuel and emissions regulations. The body style was made from fiberglass and much lighter than the previous generation. The 5.0L V8 engine was designed to be more fuel efficient but was lacking in the performance department. The all-digital dashboard was also a completely different setup than before (via Car and Driver).
The C4 Corvette was panned by critics for its lackluster performance and the cheap build quality of the interior. The new emissions regulations were hampering any kind of real performance that other muscle cars from that era had. There were high expectations for the C4 Corvette and the next generation of the sports car but it failed to achieve them.
