Re: C4 versus C5 (RED-85-Z51)
When I still had my Nova and guys would get lippy on the street, I would tell them to meet me at the drag strip. We would run heads up if allowed or just compare best ET slips. If I was feeling confident, I'd tell them I'd refund their entry and buy the hot dogs if the beat me.
Sometimes the guys weren't as friendly and we never made it to the track so I had to show them what was up . . . . . I'll stop now! :D
But, I have not gotten into anything like this with vette.
As for you question, your L98 would take him (probably) stop light to stop light, but he'd get you in the quarter as the LS-1s are .7-1.0 second quicker typically.

Now, funnier yet I saw another auto C5, with a 250 pound driver and passenger get smoked by a Dodge Omni GLH. This happened in about august of 2002 at dragway 42 in ohio.
The Dodge Omni GLH ran 13.8 seonds, beating the C5 which ran 14.0 seconds.

Diz Wiz, a few of us from the Forum go there everynow and then, watch the Great Lakes section for a post! Last time, I think we had 4 or 5 Forum members making runs.

Yes, there was RPO B2K, but that is/was some real big dollars. There is not a current aftermarket turbo system for C4's.
By the way, I am glad you dont have RPO B2K because you would add that to your already way too long list of RPO's in your sig. Have a heart and delete some of that stuff!

There were Turbo vettes from the factory so to speak i nthe late 80's wasnt there? RPO B2K or something?
They did sell 1 "kit" it was never installed in a Vette, due to the complexity of the install. It sold on ebay last year.

Re: C4 versus C5 (RED-85-Z51)
I rode my bosses 2003 Z06 today and it completely embarrases my 89 Vert. It WILL NOT hook up in first or second and still pulls like no car I have ever driven. The only mods are a slammed suspension and a BMI shifter kit.
