Handles Like On Rails — I have owend my 84 for over three years, replaces all the standard stuff plus rebiult the automatic transmission, I also have a restored 1979 Corvette that I build the 350 to 400 HP that really moves, but what my 84 lacks in the power department it makes up for in handling and comfort..... to boot she get 25 MPG highway and a sold 14 MPG in city with the air !

Love Hate — This car is something different, Everyone wants a peice, Still I laugh, can take them but, why spend the effort. I started out hating this car, I can not say the same now, yes it has its problems, they all do, But for the fun one has it is worth it. It leaks, It creaks, find me one other than new that doesnt. the charm of a VETTE. You do get attention in them, low key as it is I did not get the car to be

Pros

Phenomenal, even if not-so-refined, handling.

Cons

At that time in automotive history, it really needed 50 more horses. Now, of course, at a mere 205 HP, it would be deemed underpowered.

Terrifically Precise Steering And Handling. — Actually this C-IV Corvette came out as a 1983 ½ model year -- the first major revision coming out of the seventies era C-III. Its handling was so radically stiff that it would beat a Lamborghini Countach on the track. Try driving it very fast on average road surfaces and your kidneys would be hurting (literally)! It was two-tone: metallic bronze and brown, with standard transmission. Because it came with high and low range differential to meet CAFE regulations (regarding gaz guzzler taxation), it had seven speed -- however, at least two of them were redundant. It was extremely fun to drive because the handling limits were so high that it was beyond the psychological limits of nearly all who drove them!

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

My Ultimate Dream Car — I've dreamed of owning a corvette for so long. This is really my dream come true. I can't wait until it is fully restored so I can show the world what a beautiful piece of machine a corvette truly is.

It Was A Crossfire — the '84 was the first year in bowling green. had the crossfire 350. i'd say it had about 170 hp. that was just not a good year for the vette.
