LS3 V8 Engine
The aluminum-block power plant —
standard in coupe and convertible —
produces an SAE-certified 430
horsepower @ 5900 rpm and 424 lb.-ft.
of torque @ 4600 rpm. Power output is
even higher with the available dual-
mode exhaust system with 436 hp @
5900 rpm and 428 lb.-ft. of torque @
4600 rpm. Yet the LS3 6.2L engine
achieves a remarkable EPA estimated
MPG 16 city, 26 highway with the
standard six-speed manual
transmission. Even with its impressive
performance, the engine does not incur
a federal government gas-guzzler
penalty.

LS7 V8 Engine
Inside every Z06 is an LS7 aluminum-block
7.0 Liter V8 that produces a Society of
Automotive Engineers-certified 505 hp and
470 lb.-ft. of torque. Hand-built at the GM
Performance Build Center in Wixom, Mich.,
the LS7 engine contains a litany of
racing-derived components, such as an
eight-quart dry-sump lubrication system,
titanium valves and connecting rods,
forged-steel crankshaft with six-bolt main
bearings, high-profile cam, and Computer
Numerical Controlled (CNC) machined
heads for better air/fuel flow. Even with its
impressive performance, the engine does
not incur a federal government gas-guzzler
penalty.
