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.

Well said......Many people to me seem to be into HP numbers and dyno readings, I guess its the age we live in....There's many factors that go into performance when it comes to sports cars, not just the overall power numbers....Weight, aerodynamics,suspension all play a part in the driving experience and each driver has there preference...
I have owned a 73 Vette convertible for 16 years now and each time I think of selling I'm like, nah, its a rare sight and its got some mods to it that keeps it interesting..
So, your right when you say its not about the fastest thing out there, its about what you like for the time being...
When I was at carlisle a few weeks ago I went to view the parade....Have to tell ya, I dubbed it the C7 Z06 parade .....Not many old ones at all and I think maybe one C4Z maybe....
