Yes..without a doubt the 1984 was and still is the worst Vette ever
made....ceasefire motor..hard ride.crappy interior..dash that fails...things
that crack..dash is junk plastic or whatever...Bose system sucks big
time....windows take forever to cycle up and down..then they fail open and
you are really screwed....or don't go down and you have to open the door to
try to pay tolls...windows/doors leak....window washer gives you a bath if
you have your window down.......... a real nightmare of a vehicle....trouble
is that not much has changed..!!!!!!!!!!!

Except for the 'bath' from the WSW, this sounds like the result of 22

Hear ya !
thats why I completely rebuilt the engine,
put an intake and carb,
got away from the computer all together.

redone/replaced most of that.

mine work fairly well, after replacing a few things.
still not near perfect though.

> windows/doors leak....


no side windows/doors leaks,
after replacing weather stripping..

> window washer gives you a bath if you have your window
> down..........


don't know about that,
washer doesn't work :-)


>a real nightmare of a vehicle....trouble is that not much
