Re: Grand Sport vs Reg LT-4 (Mr Dave)
I would expect a grand Sport to be worth more in the future not because of limited production but because you pay more now. From what I have seen you pay about $4-$7000 more right now for a GS. What if you took that difference and through it into a mutual fund and just bought a regular 96 with LT4.
After 10 or 20 years I guarantee this approach would be worth a lot more than any premium a GS may command in the future.
Point being, viewing cars as any sort of money making or preserving entity is 99.9999% of the time a losing proposition. And that's the bottom line. :smash:

Man, thats a tough choice, GS, CE, RP.
You haveta see a GS in person, there stunning cars up close. I've only seen one and it looked new. Most are in exceptional condition.
CE's very nice car. CE, GS is the high water mark for the C-4.
LT-4's again the high water mark for the C-4 engine.
For the money I'd go for a standard production car with the LT-4.
Next the CE.
If I had the funds, the GS would get it.
As far as keeping thier value, my vote goes to the CE and GS.
An LT-4 is better than a LT-1, there both hard to work on but one has more power.
For me its always the money. Buy the best Corvette you can afford.
Bad art? Thats funnie!
