The only 93 that could be remotely limited production would be the ZR-1 or the 40th ruby cars.

There were something like 448 ZR-1's and 6,749 40th Anniversary models made in '93.

No idea about any 18 separate cars. Whoever the n00b heard that from was probably lying or really misinformed.

...but then again, nothing was considered "limited."

the only thing I can think of that's remotely "rare, but not limited" is a doug rippie, black widow ZR-1. I'm thinking about 8 were produced in 1993, but i'm also thinking they were not a RPO thing (???).

The Bowling Green Assembly Plant built something like 44 of the 1983 models. All were used for testing and then destroyed except for one. That car is on display at the National Corvette Museum.
