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.

Thanks for all the posts. Would I be correct in saying that if budget dictates an LT1 powered car, that any pre-96 non-T top is going to be a good starting point? Seems to me like there is a difference of opinion on some of the stuff, but any Camaro or Firebird 1993, 1994 or 1995 is about equal and the best advice is the standard "buy the best you can afford".

Can someone explain the gearing difference alluded to in this thread. Since Street Prepared allows update and backdate, would it be advantageous to run a 1993 transmission coupled to a later rear axle? Lower gearing in the box and lower gearing in the rear end? The high top speed potential of the car I have little use for.
