Forgot to post that I looked at that LT4. It wasn't anything like the seller described. He was willing to go down on price, $11,500 which is cheap. But I want a mint LT4 to hold on to, and this wasn't that. Oh well....the search continues.

I must say though, I drove it, and was impressed. While I'm used to a 500 RWHP Z06 the thing had some nice low end grunt and sounded great for a stock car. What do good drivers get out of the LT4's? Seemed like an easy high 12 second car.

(the first and only time I let my pops drive my vette,... he scuffed up the front bumper. He's used to the snub nose of the FD RX7,..not the long nose of the vette)

...that said...I feel you but,... like mentioned, this car is used, probably harder then the majority of any two vehicles on here. I used to race this car on the street, every single day, double time on weekends. It was a daily driver for some time as well until a year ago. Since then, it's been used alot less, and only for certain purposes/callouts. It's a money maker,...and an ego killer. It's not supposed to be pretty. My car will never be a show car.....

...but,.... the car will eventually be painted. I will eventually have a new front end, I will eventually have new wider front and rear fenders,... tail section,.. hood,... etc. Soo,.. one day it'll look all shiney cute and cuddly,... until then, the money invested into my car, is invested to speed parts to make it go faster, turn better, and brake quicker. You know, the important things.

Besides,.... never heard a female complain about the paint finish of my ride.

I'd say high 12's is easily attainable with an LT4, good driver, and a decent tire. We've beaten all kinds of LS1's that we raced back in the day with a cold air, tune, and removed rear mufflers.

I did take a few more pics but my labtop died and I am haveing a hard time retrieving the pictures,... I am posting this from work.

I thought high 12's would be easy. Still looking, there is nothing with low mileage anywhere for now.

Post up some more LT4 pics when you can....

Are you serious?... not to be a dick but, you have Z06 in your sig,... so that why i'd imagine that you knew what the frcs where.

But, if you truly do not know,... in 1999 they came out with a entry level Corvette, that was designed as a less optioned, "cheaper" corvette. It also happened to be more rigid then the targa brother, and vert sister, therefore making it a great track car. GM threw a few more options at it in 2000,... then in 2001, they discontinued that FRC,.... and rebadged it with an emblew we know as Z06. Obviuosly they made the car better as well for the transition but, it's the same car.

Since then, the C6 Z06, and C6 ZR1,... are now the modern Fixed Roof Coupes,... as in rigid, fixed roof's.

..but something tells me your pulling our chains.

If you feel like taking a ride, your more thne welcome to come and check out the shop and the C4's that we have there to maybe give you a better opinion of a near in plastic collectors(very low miles), and the other LT4 we have, which is a mid mile vette.
