#18 – The LT1 Is Born
In 1992, the C4 Corvette came with a new 300 bhp 5.7-liter V8 engine that performed so well it was given the LT1 designation. The engine allowed for reverse-flow cooling which made it possible for a higher compression ratio of 10:5:1. Along with the engine, these corvettes came with a new distributor, and a form of traction control deemed Acceleration Slip Regulation (ASR).
