Corvette C4’s are 96” wheelbase and are lower and wider than a Camaro and/or Firebird, lighter only 61lbs. in 1996 anyway. You ask yourself, well why didn’t I build a Corvette? Maybe back in the day would be cost, but now we would say that dang independent rear suspension or perhaps that itchy fiberglass. So now we know several reasons why the horsepower factors are different, for many choose to run Camaros and/or Firebirds!

The LT1 was in 92-96 Corvettes and no 97 in classification guide?


Jeff, I think a little 96 Neon 2 dr with a 360 Magnum drag pack engine would be killer, just sayin since you mentioned jelly beans. Could start out in 9.5 lbs. class and still be fast at 8 lbs.

Ernie, you are right, but that combo was surgically removed a couple of weeks ago from GT and put in FGT with a .25 lower index.

The 1997 Corvette was not an LT1, that was the first LS1 car. Camaro/ Firebird got the LS1 in 1998.

Damn I buy an LS1 corvette and now y'all wanna change the rules? Funny when Stan Holt built the first LS1 vette and it was rated at 345 and the camaro/firebird was rated at 305 no one was bitching that the camaro needed 40 more hp put on it...just saying...but as far as I'm concerned y'all can bitch and complain all y'all want, I'm gonna work hard enough to go fast with whatever is thrown at me...and also why is it just the corvette that's triggered y'all interest when the GTO is the same factor...the whole system of horsepower factoring has become pretty comical anyway...lol...well my lunch break is over, I gotta get back on the dyno while u guys keyboard race...;-)

[Jeff Teuton]

Allen that's what happens when you have a 'newer' car as opposed to a 'new car' as opposed to an 'old car'. Welcome to our world.
