What do you think?

1. "my uncle has a 91 or 92 ZR1 with about $10k worth of stuff done to the engine- cams, ported heads, cat back exhaust kit, reprogrammed ecm, etc. after all that, it dynoed at 410hp at the wheels.

on easter, he was telling me that he bought some $1000 hose assembly that bolted under the intake manifold to help the secondary butterflies to work better or something.. i asked him if that's what it cost to have the part installed- nope, that's how much the part cost. he put it in himself, and had to buy a special long torx socket to do it.

he was at an open track day at BIR last summer, and there were stock Z06's that were absolutely killing his car around the track. faster thru the corners, faster down the straights.. he thought it was fast until he did that, now he wants a Z06."

2. "I think a C5 Z06 is a no-brainer over a C4 ZR1. A better car in almost every way -- and more power to boot.

I believe the LT5 is an interference motor . . . that alone should scare you."

3. "I would rather have a C4 Grand Sport. That's my all time favorite Corvette."

4. "Maroon92 wrote: C4 Grand Sport.
This.

However the C5 pricing is real good. The problem with the ZR1 is gonna be the engine and maintaining it long term."

5. "This boils down to what you want with the car. Cool cruiser? ZR1. Track car? C5Z. Both? Grand Sport C4"

6. "The LT5 may be finicky"

Questions:
7. 10,000$ worth of mods, killed by stock Z06s?

8. Interference motor? Engine finicky, compared to the Z06?

9. What is so special about the Grand Sport?

10. I'm not hesitating at all between the C4 ZR-1 and the C5 Z06. I'll buy a ZR-1 all the way, without any doubt. But why are they destroying it that much on that discussion? Is it because they are retarded kids?
