And no offense, but think about that. Correct me if I am wrong, but your car is not too far from stock. In other words not much to read about it.

Must have been special enough for the Editor to take the time out of his day to come check it out.

I saw that article. Is that your vette? If so, congrats.

I find that Corvette Magazine has just enough C1 - C4 content to keep me interested (& subscribed). I usually read the C5 & C6 articles when I'm trying to fall asleep.

There is a recent article that mentions C4s in Automobile Magazine's March 2012 issue on the GM interior designer, Blaine Jenkins. Blaine worked for GM for forty-two years and his work included the redesign of the C4 interior for the 1990 model year. It also said that Blaine was an avid car collector but has whittled his collection down to two cars -- a 1954 Buick convertible and a 1993 40th anniversary Corvette!
If you can still find a newstand, the article is page 86.

There are two driving factors for the lack of C4 articles in magazines:

1: C4s have been around for a while and there are not a lot of new ideas.

2: C5/C6s have more aftermarket support and associated advertising(advertising pays for magazines).

As a side note, Corvette Magazine does seem to be more balanced than most, and I am counting on that for my June ad.

When the Editor came out to take the pictures of the car we talked about the lack of C4 articles and he said the magazine tries to keep the C4 content alive.

Never been impressed with Vette magazine. I gave them whirl on a subscription offer and all I got was 12 months of kustom korvette C5-C6 purple flames and go-fast hop-ups. I may have seen a photo of a C4 in a vendor ad once or twice. OK, maybe I'm exagerating a little, but not by much.

Oh, yeah. They also sent me a cheeseball clock for signing up. The clock worked for about 3 months and then died. I should'a known better.

At the time it was stock [pretty much] that's what he wanted, the article was about the emergence of the LT1.
