Yes, but it's a C4
I'd settle for half that power in a C5

I love the ls1 but that's one very impresive car. I'd like to own it!

What's wrong with a C4 ?

Too heavy
Too twitchy
Too rattly
Too flexible
Too many electrical problems

The C3 is probably worse on all accounts but I still like it, so I think my main objection is the shape, I just find it a little plain. Maybe it just reminds me too much of the fashion mistakes [that I made] in the 80s ?!

Oh dear you really don't like them do you, Keith and I must have a very unusual one, runs 13.5 at 105 no mods (might run quicker with intakes/bridges etc of course). Not twitchy (unless traction control off but then they all are, although the camaro is a bit twitchy, has no traction control but is of course over 420 bhp), agree slightly heavier, 3333 vs 3246, electrical problems - what electrical problems?
You will have gathered from this that I love our 1994 vette dearly, perhaps its the older C4's you are referring to since of course they had a much lesser horsepower. Keith does prefer the C5 however as it is more refined but until he'd done all his mods he couldn't get past the C4 on the street until reaching an exceptionally high speed which of course he would never do on the road!

I find I like the odd-numbered 'vettes and am ambivalent about the even-numbered ones. "Spy" pictures of the forthcoming C6 aren't doing anything to change this pattern I'm afraid. They all make a nice sound but the C2 and C4 just don't provide me with the visual excitement I get from the C1 3 and 5. The odd numbers just seem more curvaceous.

Well, I'll admit the ZR1 is an improvement over the standard C4, how about that ?

That's right, those extra 3 inches make a BIG difference
