Default The cars that time forgot...

Either they didn't get the credit they deserved, or have become forgotten since their heyday. I think the 1984 C4 falls into that category. As fast as an original Jag XKE, or Ferrari Dino 246 GTS (7 secs 0-60 mph, 140 mph), but don't get much love. Similarly, there were the blown Y block Fords, that had the HP Mustangs had 10 years earlier. Which other cars would you add?

I had an opportunity back in 1992 to buy an 84 vette really cheap so I did. I owned it for 11 months, 4+3 manual. Couldn't get rid of it fast enough.

Biggest POS engine/trans wise I have ever had the displeasure to own. Those 2 little tiny throttle bodies on that choked out intake manifold were beyond useless.

I'm surprised David Hasselhoff didn't pop out of the vette in the vid.
