never mind that, strike that. let her have both and see what happens.
i know for one, i wouldnt sell a vintage Vette.
buy an Allante, keep the Vette.
which model? the 1992 hands down.
even the Allantesource's Dick super mechanic has done
a turn due to the serious and expensive repairs on the '93's.
he recommends a '92 as myself and many Allante owners do.
and i own a '88.
historically, the '92 was the best of the best - fact, not opinion.
the '93 was the start of a new generation that never got
off the ground and only succeeded in introducing the Northstar.
GM punched out tons of '93's, so they are easy to find,
and lots of owners stand by them.
the '93 in a track, will only run side by side
against a '92, until they hit about 130mph and then the
'93 will move forward. if you need that, then the '93 is the one,
if not, consider the OEM package of each model, consider the
history and cost of repairs and i know which one will win.
one last comment? at 60mph, the '87s to '92s, will stop faster than
the '93s by a couple of car lengths. how much is THAT worth?
the '87s to '92s stop straighter than ANY American car
made prior to 2000.
the '93s are avg at best in stopping.
how much is any of THAT worth?

There is a definite reliability gap between the early Northstars and the 4.5's.
Now that GM is not replacing Northstars under warranty, that alone is a real
good reason to opt for a Phase 2. The head bolt problem is expensive to fix,
not to mention the oil leaks and the plenum issues.
