I had a 1990 'vert with a mild 383. It was a cool car, but I sold it to buy my Z06.

I have a modded C4...been trying to make it corner as good as the z06...kind of a tall order. How do you get 597 rwhp out of that smallblock?

His sig says Katach, I am sure he means Katech. With Katech 597 is not hard, they built the C5Rs.

Default Big/small block

Chuck.
As WhosNSX said Katech builds great motors, alfhough we have rebuilt it a couple of times since Katech had it. Also it is a 410ci, my navigator always chokes when I say it is still a small block. It is also a full on race motor.

My 94 had EM coilovers, ZR1 sway bars, heim links, Fikse wheels, two piece rotors, and all polyurethane bushings. It rode smooth as a stage coach, but cornered better than my Z06.
I just took my buddy to get it inspected this morning. It's an incredible car and I wish I hadn't sold it.

Joined the forum not long ago. Have a 93 vette that I have some plans for but now trying to decide if I should jsut go ahead and use the extra money to buy a C5. I took one out today and believe there is almost no comparison.

Have been a LONG time member of the CF. The CF forum has been great for me. There is so much more information here in the tech section. Some really know theyre combo's and opinions are welcome.

Default 95 c4

I don't like the c5 or c6. I guess I'm the exception to believe the c4 is the vette to have. I would check out ls1tech if there was some more c4/lt1 action going on.
