There was an LT4, it was stock in the 96 Vette manual cars as well as the Gran Sport, as well as a very limited number of SS Camaros and Firehawks. The parts (heads, cam and intake) where also avalible from GM to convert your LT1 to an LT4. They were generally 300+ hp to the wheels and should be about even with a stock LS1 performance wise.

Well this weekend I ran a GM. I was going home from work through town and there were countless ricers. I had to laugh because I enacted a no-flyby-zone on a black jetta w/ a "badass" punk and three girls. After I left them like they were still, he pulled up to me and I saw three wide open mouthes. hahahahaha
As I am almost home, I spy some familiar headlights coming up and what do I see??? Non other than a Trans Am. From the body style, I can tell that it is the older LT1 version. We catch a light and the guy is in there w/ his GF. On green I just edge out and keep it in first and about 3500rpms. Then he hits it. He jumps to about a hood ahead and stays there. My bumper is at his door. From there we take off and by the middle to top of third, I run right by him. We then immediately had to stop for a light. I ask him about his car and he tells me it is, "an LT4 that is running bad." I know that they should run like an LS1 and I would have been destroyed. I then was able to on a future launch to spinn from a roll in first at about 4000rpms. He wouldnt even mess w/ me.
I will not claim a win because he very well could have stopped when I went by him. I just dont think it was really an LT4 or he had a really damaged car, or REALLY bad driver. What do you think???

My friend's near-stock LT4 Vette runs slightly faster 1/4 mile times than me, low to mid 13's. The LT4 was rated at 330 hp I believe.

I looked at a LOT of C4 vettes before I ended up with the Cobra.. actualy still have a list I printed out of places to go and cars to look at on the day I bought mine. Drove my wife crazy looking for a car for 3 months.
The 96 M6 was by far the best of the C4's besides the gransports and the ZR1's (neither of which I got to drive anywhere.. or even see..). The LT1's from late 92-95 were all right, about equal to my cobra in terms of feel.. more torque and jerk to them though. The early 92 and back L89's were umm... lets not go there. And the 88 and back 4+3 was not a friend of mine either.. didnt like that tranny.
Anyways, my point is the LT4 is just a bad ***** compared to the LT1... Like comparing an NPI vs PI in the stang. To bad that the 96's go for so damn much.... I cant complain though I got a hella good deal for the snake between price and trade
