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.

Stick to GM wheel bearings (I've heard that the National Bearing version is good as well). You may change one set a year on the front (most get longer than that, but someone here might not). You can order them for about $165 per side (it's a sealed unit with the ABS sensor in it) from team chevrolet (and Sam at Stranoparts.com carries the National or he did when I asked him about them).

Caliper spread (from heat) can be an issue for some (I don't remember the cost on them though). Rotors are not bad (autozone are inexpensive and work for many), I use Brembo OEM rotors ($80-ish as I remember).
