Corvette C4 1984-1996

The 1984-1996 C4 Corvette had a phenomenal run, as more than 337,000 units were produced. Legendary packages, such as the ZR1 and Grand Sport, returned to the Corvette nameplate. In addition, the Callaway Sledgehammer Corvette reached 254.76 mph on the 7.5-mile oval track at the Transportation Research Center proving ground. As impressive as these cars were when they were new, more than 30 years of technological advancements have left them dated and ill- equipped for today's performance-oriented enthusiast- until now. Chris Petris's career path of performing Corvette repair and performance upgrades allowed him to write technical content for multiple magazines, including Corvette Fever, Corvette Enthusiast, Hot Rod, Corvette/Chevy Trader, and the Corvette edition of Cars & Parts. In this book, he shares his 35-plus years of implementing C4 performance and reliability upgrades. Corvette C4 1984-1996: How to Build and Modify focuses on all of the car's components.
