Default A novice's question

I have had my 95 for about 9 months. My brother is interested in a 92 and asked me what are the differences between the years. I know that the engine in the 95 is an LS1 and the 92 has an L98 I believe. Are that any other significant mechanical differences I should tell him about.

Thanks.

1990 was the second to last year with the L90. Last year for the "squared off" front and rear fascia with round tail lights. 1995 has the same appearance front and rear as the 1991-1996 with the exception of color coded corners in the marker lights on the front. 1995 was the first year for the side gills to have the little spoiler. 1995 also marked the 2nd year of the new seat design as well as the different steering wheel carried over from 1994. Performance was better for the 1995 versus 1990.
