Default production number?

We own a 96 competition yellow LT4,is it true that less than 100 of these yellow LT4's were produced in 1996?also has anyone out there had to replace their door switch,we are on our fourth one in less than a year,the dealer say's it was a bad batch?the switches keep sticking in the closed position,which confuses the PKE into thinking the door never opened,therefor the remote does not work. Thanks guy's :confused: :confused:

there were a total of 488 in that color, but it doesn't specify how many of those are lt4's. Since LT4's made up about 25% of the production. I would say that that number is close.

LT4's actually made up 29.5% of production motors in 96.

21,536 cars

Back 1,000 out of each of those numbers for the GS, which we all know isn't yellow.

20,536
5,359

26.1%
