technically his car could of been made in late 96' thus its actually could be a 96 ls1. just labled as a 97 ha.

No! 97 was the the first year of the c5.

i think he meant the car could have been built in 96 as a 97 model.

well, as that guys buddy's dad is an idiot because he doesnt know $#&%....
in 1995 gm made a "comaro" camaro with a vette chassis for ls1 testing, as well as several c4 vettes with LS1s for cold start and traction control testing. but non of us will ever see any of the said vehicles, for they were most likely crushed after use.

the lt4's in my opinion were't that big of deal compared to the lt1.i mean yes im sure u can get feel the 330 vrs 300 hp but cmon how big of a deal can it be.

Ride in a LS3 and LS2 vette then restate that question. You would be surprised.

Yeah... Actually that's a good comparison, but LT and LS motors have a totally different power/torque curve. 30HP doesn't feel like as much on an LT as an LS. But you still feel it.
