GOD are C4 corvette's slow
EDIT : This race was with the IRL
I've been searching locally for this C4 owner who has the plate "UWldLse". I Thought i was coming up on him tonight but it was just a bunch of teens in there dad's L98 vette. It could have been there vette so maybe it was there's but it was LOUD. I'm guessing custom exhaust and possibly headers. We caught a light and the dialog started
Me : L98 or LT1
Them : Ugh.. What?
Me : What engine?
Them : 5.7L
Me : Ohh god. Is it fast?
Them : It'll smoke you ricer
Light goes green and we take the bend getting onto the 60. 20mph and he romps on it and i simply walk him like he's standing still. Hit 70 and had 4-5 cars and simply let off. Had to be an L98 because i wouldn't have kicked the **** out of an LT1 that fast. Wish we could have went from a stop but i'm sure i'll get some action at the track tomorrow night.
L98's : Slow
LT1's : Not as slow
BTW - Yes i street raced so you can all flame me for it.

Everytime i see a C4 it takes me back to being a kid.
EDIT : There is only 168 pounds separating an LT1 Camaro Z28 and an LT1 Corvette

One of my friends had a 1990 Corvette with the L98 and ran a 14.2 bone stock. Another had a LT1 and ran a 13.8 with only a K&N filter.
And the cams in the LT1's are all the same, GM always lowers the power ratings down when the Vette engine gets handed down. The 275HP F-Body LT1 is the same as the 300HP Vette LT1 the Vette was usually rated a little higher due to better manifolds and larger exhaust.
