For 96 model you can get a LT4 with Grand Sports, limited edition (silver color with ZR-1 style wheels) and a few more I think. The rear bumber should has an LT4 signature. To make sure you should check the engine bay. The wheels should be at least 275-40-17 on all fours or 275-40-17 front and 285-35-18 rear Stock.
The difference between LT1 and LT4 is Crane roller rocker arms, hot cam, and roller timing chain. 300Hp vs 330Hp, GM under rate the LT4 engine. It has much more than 330Hp.
C5 has at least 345Hp

yeah no doubt the LT4 can be a sweet motor; but its quite rare actually... the Grand Sports were the only ones to have it werent they? in 97 the C5 came out; and he doesn't have a prayer with one of those unless its an automatic convertible with a 2.59 rearend
And even then the C5 would still have a big advantage

The LT4 was only available with the 6 speed as has been mentioned above. There were about 6,000 produced. There is no way to tell if it is an LT4 from the outside unless it is a Grand Sport- Blue with a white stripe.
I have a Grand Sport Convertible, and the LT4 motors dyno around 355 hp. I love my SC400, but it is not a Corvette, nor would I want it to be a Corvette.
The LT1 Autos are pretty quick, even if they have the crappy 2.59 rear, so good luck.
