The C4 generation of the Corvette is one of the more underrated sports cars. During 1984-1996 Chevrolet produced some truly special Corvette. This 1988 Corvette Challenge race car is right from the factor and ultra rare. Under the hood is a sealed 5.7L tuned-port injection V8 mated to a Borg Warner 4+3 manual gearbox. The Corvette Challenge series was designed to showcase what the C4 Corvette was truly capable of in stock form. Is a1988 Chevrolet Corvette Challenge race car a special C4 Vette?

@andydhillon1977 2 года назад

Very good review. Just a little extra info, 1988 was the last year of that Doug Nash 4+3 manual transmission. 1989 got the first true 6-spd. Unfortunately, manual transmissions in the C4 are pretty rare. Also, not all body parts from the C4 can be used on other C4 years. Some are different, particularly 1984 compared to the rest.

@dfw1fast143 3 года назад

Takes me back to my 80's days. All that show and no go however you can pick these C4's up for a great price and gives you a foundation to start inexpensive mods. The C4's in the 90's are far superior with more power.

@xoulmannn 3 года назад

@@thearkhamknight846 Well to give you credit, the early & basic Callaways of the C4 gen. looked like any other vette at the time sine they didn't receive major cosmetic changes. However, the later C4s, especially the Twin Turbo variants, that looked dramatically different than this. Not to mention, special editions like the Super Natural variant, looked more like later generations of the Corvette. With the infamous Sledgehammer, it looked greatly different than this Challenge race car. I mean the car could've been co-tuned by Callawoy, but I don't think this is a Callaway special. Just a high-end factory vette.

The 1988 and earlier C-4's were 4 spd. cars (Doug Nash) I could only image the cries from those pussies of SCCA (Porche,Lotus ect.) If they raced against C-4's equipped with the ZF-6 six speed. (starting in 1989) Bottom Line: The C-4 Corvette was banned from SCCA racing by the competition for being to good ! ! ! Can Anyone Name Another Vehicle That Stomped A Larger Footprint In Technical Advancements In One Generation Than The C-4 ?
