It stands for your engine code, in fact, all the options your car came with would be posted as a code, on a sticker on your driver side door. LS1 means you have the 5.7L V8, same engine in the C5 corvettes.

"LS1", is a GM factory code for the type of engine you have. Some other engine codes are: LT1-346ci cast iron block, aluminum heads, LT4-454ci, 425HP (I think). More codes of engines, even though I do not know the specs are, ZR1,L89,LS4- 396cu, 375HP.

Hope this helps you out in some way.
