Modding the LT-5 as opposed to the LS motors are night and day considering price, from what I'm gathering ..I remember reading it was like 21 thousand dollars to get a high HP build on the LT-5 from Vette doctors out in long island....I'm like, I didn't even pay that for my car....
It seems the C4Z never got a bunch of aftermarket modification parts as the LS series did..

Thanks. My 16' was a monster of a car! I think every car guy should have the opportunity to own something that nuts at least once in their life. And yes I seen the depreciation cliff coming lol was one of the reasons to sell. I was fortunate enough to get a very generous offer on it so I let it go, don't regret it for a minute.
Your completely correct that it is much more expensive to modifying lt5 then say an LS1 but but but but....its not about "at least for me" the cheapest possible modification build, if it was I would buy a Dodge Neon and put a twin turbo kit on it.
Ya know I've owned a lot of sports cars over the years and I have learned it really comes down to whatever your heart desires, whatever car you fall in love with. It's not about impressing others or having the fastest car on the street, it's really not and that is hard for a lot of people to get, took me years lol. It's about whichever one gives you the feeling. It's about which car you fall in love with and for me the C4 ZR1 is one of those cars. I'm probably going to end up spending what I paid for the car over again in modifications but it is going to be one bad bitch ....and that makes me happy.
Now that does not mean that I am done buying cars lol there are still a few boxes I need to check off before I leave this mud ball. I want another older viper.... I want a 360...I'd like to get a dd c5z....many cars.
