Thinking of picking up a 1LE car for some roadracing. Anyone have any direct experience with both 3rd and 4th Gen cars? How do they compare? Which is the better car for a novice? Which is lighter, faster, easier to drive? I suppose a Player's Car will always keep its value for 3rd Gens, but the genuine 1LE 89-92 cars rarely come up for sale.

Thoughts?

You have to decide where you want to end up racing and what the class rules allow. Something to think about is that a 3rd gen car is also vintage legal so you will be able to race in many vintage groups as well. Thats why I sold my 97 Z28 for the 3rd gen.

At least 4 Players cars sold up here in the last year. Pricing and preparation range quite a lot. Anywhere from $6k to $12k.

There is what appears to be a nice 3rd gen for sale I think in Ohio. Can't remember where I saw it posted. It came with a 24 ft enclosed trailer, lots of pit gear and a truck. Package was $16k.
