I've looked around a little on LS1tech today and can't really find much in the way of regular Z28's. I would prefer an LS1 car, but would be interested in LT1 car for the right price/miles. I've been out of the game long enough I don't really know what a good condition LS1 Z28 sells for.
I assume stock LT1 cars are hard to come by?

When I had my car it was an LT1 for those that don't remember.
So I don't know much about the LS1 cars. Which are the better cars to start with? Are they all pretty much the same?


Just a little wishful thinking at this point. I'll know more next week.....

01-02 have better intake and no EGR (bonus)
98, 01-02 have the larger injectors
late 00-02 have the best heads (241)
The 00+ manifolds/cats flow pretty darn good up to 380rwhp or so.
99+ have Torsen diffs, 98 has an Auburn, all are junk by now.

When I was looking, I was leaning hard towards an 01-02. This is especially true if you aren't going to mod it to the hilt.

FWIW the stock clean unmolested cars command a premium. I sold my green 98 (should still be in for sale section) for $6k. It was stock with 117k miles and minor hail damage. This is what it dyno'd with a heavy set of wheels and tires (otherwise stock down to the lid)

For reference, this is what my '01 T/A dyno'd stock, rolling over 1,800 miles on the dyno.

Not a big difference, but a difference.
