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.

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?

Lets put it this way, I have just over 205k on my LT1 and it still runs awesome. In fact I just did an Evo school this Sunday where I probably put a good 25 runs on it and it never missed a beat.

I had to replace the clutch at ~120k and aside from that and a few waterpumps its been pretty trouble free. The rearend is considered "weak" but as long as you're not drag racing on slicks it will hold up fine.

Also Karen on this board has a 96 Camaro with over 300k and I believe she still runs it regularly too.
