How many threads are you going to start about this? you act as if the lt4 with 30 more hp is some big deal dude it dont add much to the price it's a normal c4. Find the one you like and pay what its worth to you asking everyone to tell you what to price it at is silly.

no actually its not, there are good people here that buy all years of vettes all the time.
the books are a good place to start but dont give real market selling prices.
people do.
the lt4 is somewhat of a big deal.it has a conversative 50 more hp than a lt1 and was only a 1500 dollar option and is currently bringing in 2-3k more in the marketplace.
and its more collectable and will hold its resell value better than a lt1
and while all other c4 prices are continuing to go down the toilet a lt4 is holding its value much better as well as the zr1.
just want opinions, with all the other crap on the boards, i think this one has merit

I know people with lt4's they get 13.7 in the quarter with them my 95 lt1 does much better also about the price difference a lt1 convertible with the same miles as a lt4 coupe will bring more $$$ the lt4 option as a used car sits is worth only about 1,000 more than a 6sp lt1 you got all this built up in your head buddy I have drove them they're not no 50hp more in the lt4 its bs rumors hell all gm motors are underated so are the lt1 and ls1s just about EVERY lt4 you put on the dyno will 20 285-290 hp stock and most lt1s do 270 stock.convertible option = 4,000 more and was like 8,000 more when these cars were new
lt4 option = 1000 more
so no the lt4 option won't put it over all lt1s just a lt1 6p optioned about the same way with the same miles and cond
not all c4 prices are going in the toilet i paid 19,000 for my 95 convertible about 8months ago for my wife with 34k miles from the orignial owner and its one that was babied and is being babied now your lt4 coupe is worth like the others said like 12k
your making a big to do over a price difference that is about the same as the price difference of a car with bald tires vs new tires
ok just had to get this out every time i sign on he has the same thread just a different one!!

so no the lt4 option won't put it over all lt1s just a lt1 6p optioned about the same way with the same miles and cond
EDIT - I need to take my own advice and not start stuff...
Now back to the original topic at hand... the LT4 will command a higher price simply because it was a one year only option and was slated as the only mill available in the GS. As for the value of the car, we are not there to see the car and not aware of the RPO codes. There are many factors as to what the car will be worth. I will only state that someone got the first 80k out of the car and those are the most important 80k on that car... so what will you pay for it?
I paid $17 for mine with 28k on her at time of purchase... add on the extra miles and the fact that it is not the collector's edition (although it was the most popular model in 96, I still believe it stands for something) and $12k is the max I'd pay.

Unless you can run A LOT better time than that 13.7 you talk about so much you would see nothing but my tailights at the track and I'm not making crap up honestly if you run 13.7s you would be nothing and my car is STOOOOOOOOOOOOCK AS STOCK CAN BE!
ok I agree with kwik 12,000 is about all this lt4 is worth it has high miles, and it a coupe. If you like it bit the bullet and pay whatever is they ask but you heard it from a lot of people it's not worth but about 12,000

well that maybe, but go over to corvetteactioncenter.com
my friend just had his lt4 dynoed at 302rwhp/310tq
while someone on here today, just had there lt1 6spd dynoed at 262rwhp
and was over joyed.
40 rwhp is more than 50 hp at the crank.
lt4s are low 13 sec cars lt1s are high 13sec cars
i personally have seen lt4s run 12.9s with nothing but a k&n air filter.
lets see a more agressive cam,bigger heads, and host of other changes must not add any hp.
and again a 45kmile nice lt4 coupe going for 20k on ebay, when was the last time you saw a lt1 coupe bring that?
most cant even get 15 for a similar car
hell people were chomping at the bit to get a 122k mile lt4 on here for 12,500 while a similar lt1 wouldnt bring 10.
i was just wanted your educated opinion, but i see now that is not possible.

post your times?post your dyno?
well 93-97 z28s made 240 rwhp 92-96lt1 vettes make 250-265
with 270s being the exception
lt4s make bewteen 295-310rwhp
if the car is worth only 12k my question is why cant u find one on autotrader ,usedcorvettesforsale or locally for anything less than 14-15
10-12k buys a very high mileage lt4 120k or so
since when is 8k a year , high mileage
i have my opinion i just wanted others that are biased because they own a lt1 convertable
no names mentioned

as far as lt1s seeing 270 at best I gotta say most lt1s will see 270 it's a given the lt1s at the motor usually calculate out about 320hp
lets see if I am doing this right say 320 x .15 (for 6sp loss and do .17 for auto loss) ok so 320 x .15 that gives 48 and 320 - 48 = 272 which is about what lt1's dyno.
it might be true lt4s make about 350 crank but lt1s seem to make about 320 crank so they're about 30hp apart like gm stated.
You know who is being a bevis about it but I hate to say it but
with his homework about them..BTW when did this turn into a VS thread it feels like a darth V thread

well i am just saying stock lt1s in f-bodies never hit 250 rwhp
240s was the best.
so the vette must of got upgrades the fbodies didnt
thanks for all opinions though
my person opinion is this is a 13-14k car.
nothing more, nothing less, some would pay 15k
some would pay 12k
just a personal opinion

and since when is drive a car 8,000 miles a year high mileage?
thats half the average
maybe if the car never leaves the garage will see 20k examples
but the life of this motor is probably near 200k
80k isnt that bad at all.

There is more to a car then just the engine, and 80k miles is a lot of wear on other parts of the car.
