True confessions...
Had a Red, austere, 96 with 40K miles, the LT4 and not many options. A great ride... I had it for 4 years and along came a pretty face, a 94 ZR1 with all options and 21K miles. I went for it, sold the LT4 and I must say, I've been disapointed. The ZR1/LT5 is truly an awesome machine, once it gets to 4000 RPM it will say HELLO. But gentlemen we don't dive at 4000 RPM and above most of the time, that is, we drive low end torque. And IMHO the LT4 has more drivable low end torque. After studying the LT4 I'm convinced it is one of the best bangs for the buck. Yes, I've been through the opti-spark issues and it is all fixable. The General gave us a gift in 1996.
I have come to terms on a 96 CE with 21K on the clock, LT4, most options inc. the Z51 supension. I'm psyched. It is a new day. I'll keep the ZR1 untill I get tired of it or until someone has to have, but I believe the LT4 will be here for a long time to come. I'm back.
