Although the production run began in 1983, and the first recall was in 1983 (14,000 cars to fix problems with the power
steering and battery cable, and 6,000 cars to replace defective brake components) the 1984 Corvette was a complete
redesign in almost every aspect. Handling considerations were the main concern, and the result was praised by the
automotive press as the world's best cornering automobile. Design criteria specified that the 1984 Corvette have more
ground clearance and more interior room, but less overall height. In order to achieve this, the exhaust system was routed
through a center tunnel. The 1984 was designed without fibreglass seams on exposed panels to eliminate factory
finishing. The exterior seams were under the rub strip extending around the entire body.
