Don't know if this applies to the 90s, but ... I have 2 91s: a ZR-1 with black sport seats (naturally) that have CORVETTE in white just below the headrest,
and an L98 with the standard seats with no lettering. So I don't know if the
CORVETTE lettering goes with the ZR-1 or with the sport seats. Does anyone have a 90 or 91 L98 with sport seats to check?

Welcome to you, you will find many useful information and many helpful members hang out here.

The consensus is that the LT5 will easily last 200,000 street driven miles, however, I have not seen too many threads saying: I hit 200K miles and had to rebuild my motor. Only time will tell how durable the LT5 really is.

The willingness to help others and the camaraderie will separate this forum from any other. :cheers:
