LS1 is designation for the engine in your car. Came in the corvette beginning in 97, and the camaro/firebird beginning in 98.

Enjoy your new car!

Like pendragon said. To get a little more specific, it is a factory RPO code. Every option on your vehicle has a 3 character code. Check out your driver's door.
