1986 corvette or 94 formula? so im selling my 1994 formula and today i got an offer to trade for a 1986 corvette. corvettes are usualy a higher performance car than f-bodys year for year. but theres 8 years difference here. the guy says its got a rebuilt tpi 350 and hes the second owner, and i havent gone to see it yet, but asuming theyre in about the same condition would that be a good trade? ive done a little reading and i guess the 86 came with a l98 and a 4+3 manual. can anyone give me some pros and cons or would i be getting totaly screwed on this one?

That C4 would probably handle better than your formula. It's worth a look, at least, but look it over very carefully because it's 22 years old and there's no telling what kind of wear and tear is hiding under there. How many miles are on it?
The '86 was only rated at 230hp and 330tq, so the Formula has more power, but the Vette is lighter.
