Re: Looking to purchase a 92, why HP Difference Between 90-92 and 93-95?
I don't feel the LT4 has more torque down low. Anyone lay a graph over either curves? I feel its the extra weight that gives it that slower feel.

I also had a 96 LT4 and many times my son and I played around with them. At the time my 91 only had headers, flowmasters and chip. The LT4 had a custom tune and muffler eliminators. I will say this the LT4 did a great job up to 100mph after that the ZR-1 started to wind up and 100 to 150 I was a good quarter mile plus ahead I had to slow down for him to catch up.

c5's are not slow. ever drive a fixed roof coupe 6 speed? very quick and light. these cars can be easily modified to make big horsepower. my c5 automatic made 525 to the wheels. no meth injection or nothing just blower and cam. stock automatics are a bit slow but great driving and cruising cars. c4 zr1 feels more like a race car and the lt5 howls. Corvettes for the most part are fast compared to other cars in general. My two favorite power plants after the l88 is the lt5 and the ls7 427. The ls7 427 505 hp 470 ftlbs torq and idles like grandma's 1968 chevy nova going to the market. No gas guzzler tax either and revs to 7k. A marvelous engine.

Good luck the Z is an incredible car. I've been into euros my whole driving life, and it's the first American car I've owned in more than 20 years. I love driving it hard. Other Corvette guys who have ridden with me are flat amazed at the difference, just a completely different animal from a pushrod car. Guy with a C6 at the last autocross rode with me for a run, and he talked about how different it sounded and how hard it pulled all the way to 7500, couldn't believe it. It's my kind of engine.

I have the impression that the LT4 and C5 LS1 cars are on par, and the LT5 cars smoking both. All stock of course.
