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.

QUOTE (CMC#5 @ Nov 22 2005, 12:49) Given your goals, I would say that any of the LT1s will work great and you should focus on getting the least beat up drivetrain for the money you want to spend. At what point is the drivetrain considered beat? I have found locally an LS powered car for ~$5500 with 120,000 miles. I know on some motors, that is next to nothing. How about the LS? Are LTs similar? |
