C4 books
Birthdays, Father's Day and such have brought me a library of Corvette books but I've generally been disappointed in discussions of the C4 and its development until I chanced on Corvette from the Inside: The Development History as told by Dave McLellan, Corvette's Chief Engineer 1975-1992. It's simply the best book I've read on the C4.
Anyone else out there have any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
John

A great book about Corvette in general but with a lot of focus on C4's is "Corvette Fuel Injection" by Charles Probst.
Heart Of The Beast by Anthony Young, all about the ZR1.
All Corvettes Are Red by James Schefter, it's about the development of the C5, but talks about the C4 as well.
Big Brown: the untold story of UPS by Gregg Nieman. Not about vettes, but a great read anyway.

Another must have C4 book is:
The Newest Corvette, From A Through Z-51 by Michael Lamm
1st printing was AUGUST 1983
All about the C4 from initial sketches and drawings etc. This book is purely C4 specific.
Not the easiest to find but Amazon has two now...1 for $18 and the other for $79.
