GM moved Corvette production in 1981 from its ... suite meddling — apparently GM boss Lloyd Reuss wanted the C4 to have a targa top instead of t-tops, and brought this up at the last minute.

It had 205 horsepower, ran 0-60 mph in 7 seconds, and topped out at 140 mph, but cleared a track for the 1,064 horsepower 2025 Corvette ZR1 ... Knight Rider dash and targa top.
