because, according to mags which the dirty unwashed take as gospel, the lt4 and the lt5 are close enough to make no difference

The only debate that there should be is between the 96 Collectors Edition and the 96 GS. They are the same car with a two thousand dollar difference.

Mecum did a nice piece about the ZR-1 yesterday, really talked the car up and they keep saying its the best buy out there.
