LS3 Forum Engine Tech While the driver provides the soul of the car, the engine is its heart. The performance car market has been dominated by a series of V8 engines made by General Motors over the last 15 years. Beginning with the LT1, which debuted in the 1992 Chevrolet Corvette, followed by the LS1 in 1997 and now the LS3, GM has been on a streak of successful performance V8 engines that is unmatched by any other car manufacturer. The 5.7 liter LT1 engine is closely related to the original Small Block Chevy V8 (dating back to 1955), but has several key improvements. The LT1 was the power plant for the 1992-1996 Corvette and the Chevrolet Camaro and also the 1993-1997 Pontiac Firebird. The LT1 also made its way into the Impala SS and even Caprice police package cars.
