The late-1983 introduction of the all-new fourth-generation (C4) Corvette was a landmark in automotive history; one so highly anticipated that the new car was released as a 1984 model, with the 1983 model year omitted. GM Chief Engineer Dave McLellan oversaw the new Corvette's development, which began with concept drawings penned in 1976. While clearly identifiable as a Corvette, the new design was less ornamental and far more aerodynamic and purposeful.

The new Corvette's all new chassis utilized front and rear mono-leaf springs, precise rack-and-pinion steering gear, and the independent rear suspension utilized five locating links. The Corvette continued to use four-wheel disc brakes, and new aerodynamic alloy wheels were mounted with Goodyear's all-new "Gatorback" unidirectional radial tires. Power was provided by Chevrolet's 350 CI V-8, initially equipped with Cross-Fire throttle-body fuel injection, carried over from 1982. Performance was a leap forward, with 155 mph on tap and grip measuring over 0.90 g, making the new Corvette a true contender with European exotics including the Ferrari 308, Lotus Esprit Turbo, and both Porsche's 911 and 928.

Refinements came quickly, with the L98 Tuned-Port Injected 350 engine, which added 25 horsepower, 40 pounds-feet of torque, and improved fuel economy by 1985. Roller valve lifters debuted for 1987 to bring total output to 240 horsepower. No longer a contender, the Corvette had by this time become the standard to which other sports-car manufacturers aspired.
