How well do the LT1 vettes really handle in autocross and track days and any problems associated with them (besides optijunk)?
Reason I ask is I'm thinking of a trade (I know one that I will regret for the rest of my life). I'm not right in the head to consider a no optioned 2002 Z28 for an all option older Vette. Bloody wife, kids and life is making me think of the $ that would be included in the trade. This post has been edited by 77chevy: Feb 27 2006, 04:45 PM |

A C4 vette will easily outhandle and outbrake an f-body that is similarly prepared, and as a result will usually be faster on the track or an autocross course. Better suspension, lighter weight, better weight distribution are all in the vette's favor. If someone is faster in an f-body than in either a C4 or C5, then you really should take into account the biggest variable of all, the driver. An LS1 f-body might have a power advantage on an LT1 vette in stock form, but both are great platforms for making good power. You really have to decide what your priorities are and decide based on those which is the right car for you.
