That page says the LT4 has "4 valves per cylinder and 4 overhead camshafts"... Not so, guess he mixed it up with the LT5.

We see many Corvettes in Central Florida and share information with most of the Clubs and Specialty Dealers in this area. That being said, I think it's safe to say an original LT4 car will demand a value premium over an original LT1 car 90% of the time. Of course with modifications, the sky is the limit. I have driven several of both and honestly have never been able to feel the difference performance wise...even though on paper it's there.
