Default Confused About Engine Power.

Hi All,

I just got a very clean 1995 Camaro for, I think a good price. It was sold to me as having 350hp, even though I was not 100% sure on that, it is in great condition and cheap, so I'm happy either way! I've looked it up with the VIN and found this in the 1995 category, "P 350-275 (LT1)". Does that mean that it is a 350? It does have a LT1 v8, auto trans.

Not a huge deal either way, just curious.

Oh, also, does it have ABS?

Cheers.

It means 350 cubic inch displacement (CID) and 275 horsepower. That is assuming the engine is stock.

To the best of my knowledge all 4th gens have ABS unless it was removed by someone.

correct, the only difference was if you had traction control or not
