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.

5500 for an LS1 with 120K miles? That sounds awfully cheap. The LS1 is better no doubt. It's lighter, easier to work on, more potential with the stock heads, and I'd say a little bit stouter in stock form. For SP it's a toss-up in my opinion-both cars can be made to win. Even if you get out of SP, stock bottom end LT1's with ported stock head castings are commonly putting out over 400 rwhp now. The thing to remember when comparing reliability is a lot the LT1 cars out there have more miles on them than LS1's.
