So, show me a Corvette with 1983 on its title. There were none. Most
of not all of the Corvettes that GM built in 1983 were crushed. Do
you know why?

ExtraSuperBonusQuestion: GM in the USA recently started selling a new
engine in their Impala range. The engine has a notable "first,"
feature, not just for GM, but for any engine maker. It's not
necessarily a forward step... Anyone else know what it is?
