GM owned Lotus when they had them engineer the LT5 but yeah that is like apples and oranges I know. Do you know why the LT5 only had 370 HP instead of 400? It was because GM wanted the engine to stay on the same bore as the original small block and would not allow Lotus to expand out the bore centers to 4.55 inches.
