I am considering the purchase of a dedicated event car to take to HPDEs, Time Trials and Hillclimbs. I will most likely contest a Street Prepared class during the timed events, but have not made a final decision. The value represented by the 4th Gen F-body is attractive. I have yet to uncover a single source buyer's that details perfomance affecting year-over-year changes and options. Is there such a thing? Any links or attempts at putting together a brief one here would be appreciated.

Aye aye captain! I am proof that you can get all the engine and none of the gadgets in one nice neat little package. There are only two ways to get it with less. A v6 model, or in the white. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
