So I have started looking at the C4 since I think it is the nicest looking of the modern Vettes. I want something a little different and figured the ZR-1 would be the way to go.
But the LT4 is such a performance bargain that it's hard to ignore.
I thought I would post and get perspective from those who have had the chance to live with either or both.
I'm thinking of a budget of 20K for the Z and maybe half that for the LT4
Thanks

Geronimo,
LT4 v LT5 is chalk and cheese. No comparison regardless of what GM wanted u to believe. If all you are looking at is 1320', it may be close stock v stock. But during that distance, the LT5 has been gathering a head of steam instead of "petering out". The trap speed tells the tale. Beyond the 1/4, its a quarter horse v Secretariat. You will find what an extra 2000rpm brings you in terms of enjoyment. Modding the motor nets you soooo much more potential than the LT-4 can provide without giving up a civilized idle and tractability. There are a few "brothers" in your area. Take a ride.
