Lombardi's Explosive C4

Radical measures propel a sleeper.

- John Gilbert

Every once in a while, the photography for a Vette car feature falls through the cracks and disappears into the abyss, but we believe Robert Lombardi’s 1992 C4 Corvette photographed by John Machaqueiro in 2015 sets a new record. A lot can happen in five years, so we were quite pleased when Robert returned our call and gave Vette the lowdown on the ’92 Corvette coupe he used to own.

Prior to the ’92 C4, Robert owned a 1987 Porsche 928 GT4 but said it wasn’t fast enough and it would have cost too much to modify. Robert made a visit to Corvette Conspiracy in Cleveland and bought one of the 1,995 1992 Corvettes finished in Pollo Green II metallic. Consequently, Corvette Conspiracy was Robert’s go-to for all of the modifications made to make the C4 a real sleeper.
