are you sure about the lotus touring?
i always thought it was luxury touring
also, since they used it in 3rd gen (albeit only for like 1 year) those weren't designed by lotus i assume
just wondering, first time i ever heardthat

As posted above. There isnt no real meaning. GM named our motors the LT-1, after the old 2nd gen Lt1 motors. The old LT1 350 chevy small black was a powerfull motor. So GM felt the LT-1 lived up to that.
Same thing with the LS-6.

This is a cool site for the older muscle car motors information.
http://www.musclecarclub.com/musclec...-engines.shtml it has some info on the LS6 aka 454

I don't think the '77 "Type LT" is rare or special. It was the "top of the line" Camaro in the absence of a Z28...... I saw one just the other day for sale. Plain car.... originally came with a 305 2bbl, auto, 2.73 gears. Absolutely nothing special. I'm fairly sure they made these in the zillions ... Also, I think they had Type LT's in 75 and 76 also?.... Incidentally, I think I read that 1975 was the highest sales year for the Camaro...... Perhaps due to the demise of the Mustang in '73.
... On a similar note, I believe 2003 was a record Mustang sales year (not the highest, but the highest in 10+ years?)... perhaps due to the lack of a Camaro.
