For CorvetteForum C4 Corvette of the Year competition – Unmodified and Modified.
For the Unmodified category, minor modifications are permissible; for the Modified category, your modifications can be for appearance or performance or both. You are welcome to list your modifications.
We’ve had questions and concerns in the past about whether people with minor modifications (aftermarket wheels, for instance) should enter the modified category or the stock category. While we allow cars with minor modifications to enter either category, ultimately, their Corvettes will be judged by community members, who will accept or reject their Corvettes as appropriate entries.
This thread is for entering your C4 Corvette in the Unmodified category.
You can enter just one of the categories of competition by posting one photo of your C4 in the appropriate thread no later than 5 p.m. EDT Aug. 28. At the request of participants in past competitions, we will allow the posting of up to three photos in the modified competition. Moderators then will pick ten of their favorites as finalists and set up a poll to allow you to vote on those finalists for C4 of the Year. Please note that when the poll is set for voting on the ten finalists, only the first picture in a modified entry will be included if you posted more than one picture in the modified competition.
The judging, of course, is subjective and will be heavily influenced by the quality of the photographs submitted for the entries.
The contest is open to site users across the globe.
The reward in each of the categories is bragging rights and a designation under your user ID declaring your winning status.
In subsequent months, we’ll feature other generations for Corvette of the Year with the winner in each of those generations competing for CorvetteForum Corvette of the Year.
The fine print: One entry per member. This contest is open to site users over the age of 18 who own the car they enter. Entry photos must have been shot by the Corvette's owner. That is to avoid professionally made photos which might give the entrant an unfair advantage. If you want to enter a photo of you in or by your car, that's fine so long as the picture was not taken by a professional photographer. If you enter a car that previously has been a winner, it will not be eligible for competition. Entries will be disqualified when obviously entered in a wrong class, use too many photos, enter multiple categories or submit an entry after the posted deadline. Campaigning for your car or another person’s car around the site is now prohibited. Negative posts will be removed. Please Contact Administrators savewave or Vettebuyer6369 with questions.
ONE MORE POINT: This may seem elementary, but for ease for all concerned, please tell us what year your car is when submitting your photo. Thanks.
My 85 C4 Z51 4+3, painted with 2023 GM color "Pow Zinga" Metallic Blue. Black trim with 17" black painted American Racing wheels and Continental Extreme Contacts. Only the wheel rims and exhaust tips are chrome.
1984 with Grand Sport wheels around, 247,000 miles of stories (the car has had a good life), purchased on Beach Blvd in Huntington Beach CA around 1988 I believe, documented mounting the wheels here: Wheel Mounting and that is the paint that was on the car when I bought it.

1993. Dark Red Metallic, 72k miles, cloth seats, auto, all OEM/original. Here’s an angle you don’t see much that I think really shows off the beautiful proportions of the C4. It also manages to hide the paint imperfections.
My 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary convertible automatic all options with factory hardtop.35kmiles with original window sticker and tons of service records from day one
