Don't know where you got that from, LT5's are the least bit fragile. As for power, your typical LT5 would put down around 350-ish. An LT4 would be lucky to see 300 at the tires. It took a very skilled driver to get an LT4 vette into the 12's, where as an LT5 could do it all day on a good track.

The LT4 cars were just as quick... (My '96 Grand Sport Conv't. went 12.9 -13.0@ 113-114 ABSOLUTELY STOCK. Stock tires too.) The LT5 motors were VERY fragile. Broken piston skirts with even a 100 shot were a matter of when... not maybe. The LT4 was a torquier motor with pretty good top end.
Who puts the starter in the valley anyways???!!!!??? lol
$12k gits ya an LT4 car... with a 125 hit you're makin' money if you can stick it. Just have to deal with the optispark crap.

High 12's in an LT4 is possible, but trapping 114 I'd like to see a timeslip for that. I would guess trap's to be 110 in perfect weather.

You know that 99% of people can't tell them apart. I can tell a ZR1 from a regular Vette from the front/side/rear from 100yds, but that's because I have been obsessed with Corvettes for the past ~12 years.

Don't know where youu got your info, but LT5's were bulletproof. Look at all of the endurance records they set. some of which are still standing I believe. It not only is common, but expected to hit 150,000 miles on a hard driven LT5 without any notable problems.

Yep, if nothing else the third brake light gives it away. I have never been so frustrated as when I saw an LT1 Vette driver with ZR1 badges on his car... it's worse than a GT driver with Cobra badges.
