BZZZZZ wrong. Pull up the results from Natls, tours and Prosolo the
last five or so years and see how many of those cars have taken home
trophies or won. Try an 89' 6spd Z51 or FX3, an 86' auto or 4spd Z51. A 91
Z07 is not bad but the 89' has better gears. ZR1 is way ugly when it come to
weight, nothing like carrying an extra two hundred pounds on the front of
your car to go with the way high tq curve. Lt4 has some potential but is
course dependent due to high tq curve. Get the L98, you'll be glad you did.
You buy the L98 you have $10,000.00 left to spend on shocks and wheels. :)

Subject: Best C4 Vette for Autox?
In evaluating considerations for my next autox car, a C4 Vette is
rapidly nearing the top of the list. It seems that the logical
candidates are:
a) 96 LT4 with Z51
b) most any year ZR-1
c) 91 L98 with Z07
(all of the above would have 6 speed transmissions, which is what I'd
prefer anyway)
or would it be something else entirely?
I'd be interested in knowing what the Vette owners think makes a great
car that would run in Stock class. I've seen some comments on the list
that indicate that the ZR-1 is not a great autox car but I do not
understand why if that's true.
I'll admit that right now I'm partial to the 96 LT4. I don't care for
the blue Grand Sport paint job, so I'd likely try to find a regular
production LT4 when the time comes.
So.. let me have your opinions and rationale.
Thanks,
