LT5 383?

[Vette73]

I may be off the cuff here and raise a few eye brows, but if your looking for best bang for the buck and ease of mods than what about a C5Z06?..

I'm not knocking the Z, I own a modded 91...As far as cost to mod a C5 Z is way less to mod than a ZR-1 and can make more power...

I drove a basically stock C5 Z once...It rode a lot better than my Z and felt like I can flick it around much easier than the Z, after all its over 300 pounds lighter ....Don't kid yourself, weight makes a huge difference..

Like any vette that comes out there's improvements from one generation to the next...When the C5 came out the ride and chassis was significantly better than the C4...I'm basically in tour mode on my car...I live in NY and all though I don't daily drive the car I never have it in sport mode..

If your heart is set on a C4Z than fine...I would def look for one that is modded already....These cars respond well to mods so whatever direction you choose to go, good luck..

If I was going to do it over, I would buy a car that is modded all ready. I bought my car for 20K, got 20K into mods, still a 350, 465 RWHP, about 530 at the crank.
Know what it's worth?? 20K
