A c4 zr-1 is far better suited for track days and hpde. Autocross, not so much. The advantage of the lt5 pans out on long straights or uphill corners. The long torque curve means less shifting and more torque when you want it, and less torque when you fear it by short shifting.The lt5 has a pull advantage over any other corvette, that being whether at 3500 or 6500 rpm the gas pedal is still a Go-Lever. If you would like to see a stock zr-1 stack up against modern competition at an hpde, check my post, "a funny thing happened on the way to the forum" in this board.
