VVT allows the lift, duration, or timing (in various combinations) of the intake and/or exhaust valves to be changed while the engine is in operation.

GM had Intake Valve Lift Control (IVLC) that was on the Ecotec engines....but that's only half of what every one else had. Haha

Gotta be a critic!
The 70-72 LT-1 didn't have an optispark either.
Or maybe it should be, the 92-97 LT1 didn't have a rear distributor?

Only the Vette will have this since no Camaros are being produced any more.
