Re: C4 Thread: triple prime
I wanted to do a 1st gear drag from a roll just to see how much faster (than the LT1) the L98 would be, but we just never got around to it.
A friend let me try his C5 Z06 (national level autocrosser). It's 300 pounds lighter and 100 more horsepower than my LT1. Try one, you'll like it!

Hi Bill,
Well, maybe yer friend with the L98 was tar'd when he autocrossed so he couldn't get the most out of his tars.
It DOES make good sense that the L98 would have a slight edge in a tight course, since the prodigious torque would be more beneficial in such a situation.
Maybe I'm just "nuts", but I didn't have anybody else drafting me while I was thrashing my '85 on the "twisties" during the 2009 Road Tour. Then again, C5's, C6's, and Z06 C6's are much more expensive to replace if you end up going over the wall.
