Every 1996 Corvette sold with the 6 speed tranny had the LT-4 engine!!
The GS had those beautiful ZR-1 style and sized wheels and tires, bigger brakes and that unmistakable paint job!!

As mentioned in another reply, there were a total of 2025 Z16's built. The decision to buy should really not be made based on resale value as many have said cars as investments is a bad idea most of the time. The value certainly will be better than any "normal" american made vehicle for sure, but decide for the ride ... any Z you choose will probably not steer you wrong and you won't likely be disappointed in terms of overall enjoyment.

I'm perfectly aware of that Ken. I bought one. My point is that Chevy at least gave the C4 a bon voyage power boost. Not so for the C5.
