Introduced in 1982, Chevrolet’s Cross-Fire fuel injection was a bold but flawed step into electronic fuel delivery. Used only from 1982–1984, this system bridged carburetors and modern EFI—leaving a mixed legacy among Corvette enthusiasts.
First-Ever Production Corvette C4 Heading To Auction. The introduction of the Corvette C4 was, in a way, similar to the advent of the current model. Both models ushered in new styling elements, new technology and represented a tidal shift in the model’s evolution.
