But why "LT1"? Seems like an odd choice of nomenclature.

I think it comes down to marketing...... look at the new/old tags for the current Camaro's "ZL-1", "1LE".
Do you remember the sick feeling in your stomach when the rebadged 85-88 Toyota Corolla were called a Nova? GM decided that a entry level midsize front wheel drive car should be called a Malibu back in 1997.
Then in 2000 the minds were at it again decided to take Chevrolets beloved Impala & Monte Carlo namesakes and attach them to FWD Lumina based vehicles.
IMO the worst was when someone maybe Bob Lutz himself decided that the Holden Monaro should have been dubbed a GTO.
Why??? I can only guess it is marketing.Last edited by BMR Sales; 10-24-2012 at 09:51 AM.
