Does anyone know of a nickname for the C4 body. Like shark for the C3.

I was thinking about this the other day.
The only reference I've heard to the body shape was "wedge" which sounds stupid. Or "doorstop" C5s and C6s need a nickname too. I'm gonna recommend "junk-in-the-trunk" and "plastic-fantastic" The C2 are midyears... What are the C1s called? |

No
And I think the reason being is that the whole C1,C2, C3, C4 thing started with the C4 I never heard C3 till the C4 came out. |

ok... all vettes are plastic, sorta...
the C1 is called "solid axle." that's simple. All C4s are fuelies, the xfire is a form of fuel injection. I have been thinking, too. It was the first Vette that was computer intensive. Perhaps the microchip? I donno. Digital? That gives one forum a bit more advertising than I like. |

$h!tbox, like at the corvette shows when you pull up to park some where and the official says park the $h!tbox around back. They never have the C4 vettes up front.

I vote for Wedge. It's not insulting, at least to me it's not, and it really does have a distinctive wedge shape...right?

Like; I drove a Wedge between generations of Corvette owners. Let me turn the rant switch on for a minute. Most of the compliments I get are from people who do not own Corvettes. Even Porsche people didn't treat me like an alien (from outerspace) when I ran my 90 Corvette in X class. I don't need or want to be treated like a second class citizen by anybody especially other Corvette owners. So when it comes to Corvette only events, I usually go as a spectator. Unless, of course, it's a guru sponsored activity like at Sebring because gurus are cool and don't play that holier than thou type of crap. They're more of a come one come all lot and sometimes give away free stuff. Thank you.... Wedge seems appropriate. Attach file: rant.gif (25.62 KB) |

I used to call 'em Barbie Corvettes because I had no knowledge, and therefore no respect. Once I took the time to learn about the history of the C4s and how good a car they are, that's what I chose to buy. I even had to eat a bunch of humble pie from my wife and kids, cause I said I would never owna Barbie Corvette. Open mouth, insert foot....

It friggin cold, same as you. Here's a little karmic justice...
Last week all the guys in my work group went to California for a training deal. I get to go to Iowa tomorrow, because it's closer... Well My boss has to make a special trip in tomorrow to see a customer and it's gonna be -38 with the wind chill. That'll teach him to send everybody else to California. I emailed and told him to bring a light coat as the weather will be mild and sunny. By the way, what's CFOT? |
