It debuted at the fifth race of the 1984 season, at Road Atlanta. Michael Roe won the 1984 Can-Am Championship outright in the car, and together with the VDS-002, won a total of 7 of the 10 races that season. As with most Can-Am cars of the time, it was powered by the commonly used {{cvt|5.0|L|cuin}} Chevrolet small-block motor.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.oldracingcars.com/canam/1984/|title=Can-Am 1984 « OldRacingCars.com|first=Allen|last=Brown|website=OldRacingCars.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.racingsportscars.com/chassis/photo/VDS-004.html|title=VDS-004|access-date=20 June 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.racingsportscars.com/type/VDS/004.html|title=VDS-004|access-date=20 June 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.racingsportscars.com/type/results/VDS/004.html|title=VDS-004|access-date=20 June 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://vintageracecar.com/race-series/can-am/|title=Can-Am Racing - The Ultimate Guide|access-date=2022-06-20|archive-date=2022-12-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221209194533/https://vintageracecar.com/race-series/can-am/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
