Name the C4 Vettes (C3's,C2'sC1's have names)
Im just wondering since the C4 generation is aging isnt it time for us to give the C4 generation a name?
All the prior generations have names for their cars... C1 solid axles, C2 mid-years and C3 are the sharks. I was thinking to try to get a name that would be well liked by the Corvette community and already have two names that we could choose from.If the members can think of other names post it here and lets see after a while if we can vote on it.
My two names are the Tech Vettes or Jet Vettes. The C4 was an evolutionary design that blew away the competition both in performance and technology. The advancement the Corvette made over the C3 was amazing. Technology was revolutionary with the suspension,braking,interior,exterior and engine design.
I kinda like Tech Vettes over the Jet Vettes. The only reason why I choose Jet as the alternative is because the car is truly like a fighter jet!! Lets rally around this and get some ideas together to give this generation new name!!
It would great for people to start calling this generation a new name. Lets go CAC members!!!! Put your heads together and lets come up with the new name!!!

The 84s were called computer vettes due to the LCD display dash. So I would say it's a compu car.

C4 is something that has stuck with me. I just come to call them that. Not only is that the name of our cars, but think about the explosive C4, kind of one in the same.
I do like the idea. I might be partial, but how about The Best Vette

Well, some other historians may correct me here, but the 63-67 series didn't really become known as "Mid-years" until after the 68's came out. So, the 63-67 series was mid way between the first generation of vettes and the 3rd. Prior to the 68's, we just called them Sting Rays. 68's we called a great mistake and this was when the phrase first became popular..."Sure they made a Corvette after 67...but who cares!" And, as all the geezers here know, they didn't build a Sting Ray after 67.
