1993: Introduction of the LT1, rated at 275 horsepower. M6 cars offered with either 3.23 or 2.73 rear end ratios due to the 2 different 6 speeds offered in that year. The unique transmission in 93 had a higher (numerically) 1st and 6th gear and GM offered 2.73's to conteract this. A4 cars came with the non computer controlled 700R4. They also had a lower torque capacity because of this. LT1's were ECM controlled rather then PCM, ran off of Speed Density, and were batch fire injected rather the sequential.
