C4 admit it you are a vette man. If you think the original Z51 is better than the current Z06 you are dead wrong. The Z06 has better g force and lane change times. Also, the Z51 would rattle your teeth and ride was horrid. Also, that link or factoid was only another person in the Forum stating what he thought. Well go out and get your twenty year Road and Track, the Z51 attained around .9 G's which was impressive at the time, the Z06 has done over 1.0 G, end of story.
I think your idea of the C4 to Cobra is flawed. It will look funny because it will be long. It will be chevy powered, your resale will suck. Should I go on...............
Many people here want the look and feel of the originals, play homage to such a wonderful car that would and could crush Ferrari's, that nobody could beat.
Vettes ( I have had three including a 91 ZR-1 )are nice but Cobra is MUCH NICER. At our last cobra meet, we went to a local restaurant. Due to the weather only two showed up . There was a brand new Z06 next to one of the Cobras and NOBODY looked twice at the Vette.
You keep writing back after someone posts to relieve or convince yourself you are right. Well, walk the walk or talk the talk. Go get that Cobray or whatever the heck it is, then see the confused looks you get.
At least my cobra looks somewhat like an original.
