isnt it like sex when you see one tho? i was REALLY close to buying one when i looked at getting a car along with my cobra but i ran into two problems.

No dealership carried the car (financing is easier from dealership then bank...one wants to sell you something, the other actually wonders wtf ur doing with its money and if you can pay it back)

no 21 year old mod freak like myself should b able to get his hands on such a car only to convince himself its a great idea to mod it when its clearly the ultimate "stock car" of its time....which is why i bought a ***** mod of a cobra.

I think under 2001 the Ls1's would have a hard time with an LT4. The 01 and up cars would be neck and neck, or able to just edge out. It would be a good race for sure. Ofcourse, the LS6, would walk the LT4.

All i know is i would definitely like to own one of the ZR1's
It had a key that you could use to turn on valet mode and lowered horsepower down to 220.

Yeah, they actually widened the rear of the Corvette by 3" to make the wheels fit under the ZR1 using stock fenders. An easy way to tell a ZR1 from the rear (besides the high-mount 3rd brake light), is the 1.5" spacer on either side of the license plate.

If an LS1 "has no trouble" with an LT4, then either it wasn't an LT4, or the owner wasn't doing what they should be doing. LT4s dyno 295-300rwhp stock, so even against an LS1 Corvette, it will not be an easy race.

yes, and most m6 ls1 cars will dyno 300-310 whp stock. there's no reason it shouldn't be a driver's race between the 2.

I like how some people think LT's are junk, and then SURPRISE!!!

LT1/4's are some strong *** engines in almost every category and can even go places LS1's can't.

Yeah... but when you said "had no trouble," it kinda sounded like you were saying it had no trouble beating an LT4, not running with one.
