Wow! I thought it would be more than that. At least the next time someone asks me how much hp my car has i can tell them about 5 hp less than the corvette. What years did the corvette use the L98?

Thanks

The vette got the L98 from 86 (maybe 87) until the LT1 replaced it in 93(could be 92). I am not sure of the exact years.
