I personally would rather have a 98+ fbody over a zr1. I know i am probably alone on this, but i really dislike that body styling, no matter how good the motor may or may not be, it still is not an LSX motor!!

Now the C4 first came out in 84 I had C3’s and vowed it was the ugliest Vette ever and would never own one. Well after owning 7 C4s my opinion has changed why? Technology!
And yes the C3 styling still beats them all hands down.
On to the C4 ZR-1 it is a part of Corvette history and its advance’s are what got the C5 to the dance. Now take you LS motor out and run it for 24 hours at full throttle and see how it holds up.

After owning a C4 (not a ZR1) and now owning a C5 I will take the C5 over the ZR1! even though it is a collecters item! I would much rather enjoy the newer over the older! IMHO!
Thanks,Matt
