Special engine package for '96 SS?

My girlfriend said that her mom is getting a 96 ss for christmas and its got a "special" engine package in it. I asked her if it was LT4 and she said no. So what the hell is she talking about?

She also said something about it being from a Corvette.

If the car is as it came from SLP, should be just another 305hp LT1 SS. Maybe someone put an LT4 in it, like the 100 or so from 97 that had one.

there were, no special engine options in 96. The only thing that was special on some 96's is they came with extrude honed exhaust manifolds. The LT4 was available in 97. The only special about a 96SS besides the exterior was the Ram Air, and catback.

Special Engine Package = slightly more powerful motor than the Z28
Corvette Engine = camaro LT1 is just a slightly detuned Corvette engine


Most likely the guy that sold it to her said these things to help persuade her to buy it.
