Auto Tech. Final
Hey everybody, I'm taking Intro to Automotive Technology, and for our class final we have to have a 5 minute presentation on anything car related. So I picked the C4, but I'm stumped on what to write about. I'm looking for some ideas on what to present about, so I came to my fellow c4'ers. If you have anything, please feel free to drop a reply. Thanks!

I agree show the old 84 commercial, epic 80's ness!!!
I would focus on the cars world class handling. Look up and present in your presentation about the 1G and the SCCA Showroom Stock Corvettes that kicked everybody's butt to the curb in the early C4 years.

If your going to Talk C4, you have to talk ZR-1. When put into production, one of the fastest car in the WORLD, PERIOD!!!
Tell you what, I'll do a 5 hour presentation for you!!! Hahaha, I could, that is the sad part.

You are really going to need to narrow it down and not just do the C4 in general. Keep in mind the Callaway Sledgehammer, torquey TPI which had to deal with new EPA standards, and the aerodynamics were way ahead of its time as well. There is plenty out there to do a project on.

How about the history of fuel injection in general? Starting with the mechanical fuelies in the 50's, up through the challenges and benefits of EFI, and the evolution of EFI. Run up from Throttle Body Injection, Port Injection, Batch Fire to Sequential, Direct Injection, you get the picture.
Focus on benefits of EFI over carburetion too.....longer engine life, lower emissions, more power, easier starting, better fuel economy, self calibrating for elevation, etc.
Happy writing.
