Welcome to the forum
Are you going to autocross the Vette? Hope to see you out at some of the SCCA national tour event.

I'm pretty sure I'll autocross this car. I've been involved in races with a local corvette club under NCCC sanctions. Went to the SCCA nationals in Lincoln NE last fall just to observe......that was great...Some people have told me that the C4 is probably the best all around car for low speed (corvette only) events. Can't wait to find out....

C4s are definitely fun to race. You need to go out to a HPDE and bring it out on a full size road course sometime too...

Welcome
Welcome. Your C4 is very nice looking and getting harder to find in excellent condition. The early C4 models are superb for autocrossing. Here is a link to a great article about the C4 in autocrossing:

Best of luck,
John

I believe the black halo or surround was that way from the factory. The black top is dark glass....

If it is a 35th... you are correct. It was that way from the factory.
