4/5th = Carline / series
6th = body style 2=2 door coupe, 3 = 2 door vert
7th = Restraint Code ( 2 = Active, manual restraint w/ driver & pass airbags)
8th = Engine type (G = LS1)
9th = Check digit
10th = Model year (W= 1998)
11th = Plant (5 = Bowling Green)
Last 6 = Sequence
1st digit= Country of Origin
2nd = Manufacturer
3rd = Chevrolet
4/5th = Carline / series
6th = body style 2=2 door coupe, 3 = 2 door vert
7th = Restraint Code ( 2 = Active, manual restraint w/ driver & pass airbags)
8th = Engine type (G = LS1)
