Yeah, quite a few, are the gills on all of them?? I never noticed. I guess I was too busy being angry at how I'll probably never have one

Oh and the reason I said stickers, is because some dude over in the poll you started said something about them being stickers

I wish they would of put a rear rear end in the car- I broke mine completely stock with 4k on it and they wouldn't fix it- Since I lived in Indiana at the time I went to Moser and picked up a 12 bolt and have never looked back.

The sail pannel bubbles suck as well. espeically in the Florida heat now.

I wish the windows went down automatically like the mustangs and 5th gens do.


I wish the LT1 had more room to work.

I wish the hatches came factory tinted.

I wish the tail lights didnt hold water and streak after washing.

I wish people realized what a technical marvel the 4th gens really were.

I wish people realized the LT1 has potential, you just have to work harder for it.

I wish people took better care of the LT1 cars, not many left it seems.


thats all for now. lol

In my opinion: If I could change anything, I wouldn't change the exterior at all, the reason being most of the time I prefer performance over style anyways. I would make the car more reliable, for example moving the optispark to a different location.

I think even if they just put a plastic guard around it, things would be better.


I have to tell my self every once in a while, the LT1 was engineered in the late 80's and early 90's.

optispark on lt1's are horrible- and never want to put another one in ever again.

I agree, and personally I would have liked to see a revision of the 4th gen design than the new retro thing, but it turned out pretty good.

low beams, low beams, low beams....

I end up replacing them every 6 months because either they burn out or usually because a stupid rock or bug cracks one and they get water in them and burn out....

Damn glass headlights! at $27 a piece it gets expensive!

I'd bust out with the twelve gauge and go out optispark hunting. Man, the LT1 is an amazing engine (I prefer it to the LS1, actually) but that distributor was put in a bad place.

LTCC conversion, here I come.
