It's true these cars can go fast in 1st, but also keep in mind that the
LT4's and the ZR1's can't turn compared to the L98 cars (at least in stock
form) This is why the BSP combo to have is an early chassis (read L98
chassis) w/ an LT4. You get a car that turns with a motor that pulls to
high rpms. The best reasoning to keeping all C4's in the same stock class
is that no single engine/chassis combo has it all. They all trade off
something. The C4's with the best motors had the worst chassis, and the
best chassis had the lowest HP motors (but highest torque behind the LT5's
mark)
