Default LS Vs LT ... so?

since the noise that made by GM during the last year about the new engine for C7.which make us dream about something concept. and now the sound is the C7 will get LT engine just that !!
so please can any one tell me what is the difference between LSX and LT engine? since they already has almost the same power and sound? is it to hard for GM to creat something new!

You seem to be a little upset that GM/Chevrolet is resurrecting the old 1992-1996 300hp LT1 for use in the new 2014 Corvette, not sure why that should bother you?

You do know that it's merely a nomenclature/designation, right?
It's likely going to be a brand new cutting edge engine with an old name attached to it and that's been successfully done numerous times before, relax, it's nothing to cry/complain about LOL.

This is of course assuming that the new engine will actually be called 'LT1' as that hasn't been entirely confirmed yet (but it sounds about right to me).

It's the RPO code used for the engine, you cannot use that fact to draw any conclusion about the engine itself from the reuse of this code. However, if I recall, Mo-shy, you are under the impression that only dohc engines are worth driving, so I expect you will be disappointed with the new LT1 based on its spec sheet, regardless of actual capabilities.
