LS3 V8 Engine

This aluminum-block powerplant, standard in Corvette coupe and convertible, produces 430 horsepower @ 6000 rpm and 424 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4400 rpm. Yet the LS3 6.2L engine achieves a remarkable EPA estimated MPG 18 city, 28 highway with the standard six-speed manual transmission. Even with its performance, the engine does not incur a federal government gas-guzzler penalty.

LS7 V8 Engine

Inside every Z06 is an LS7 aluminum-block V8. It puts out an SAE-certified (Society of Automotive Engineers) 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 performance, the engine does not incur a federal government gas-guzzler penalty.

Active Handling

Active Handling is an electronic symphony of Traction Control and antilock brakes working through microcomputers, accelerometers and stability sensors. While no system can overcome the laws of physics, Active Handling compares driver steering input with actual vehicle response. When necessary, it uses individual wheel brake application, the Traction Control System and available Magnetic Selective Ride Control to maximize the driver’s ability to maintain stability and stay on track.

Corvette Coupe and Convertible offer an available six-speed automatic transmission that combines control and total convenience. In 'D' mode the transmission functions as a conventional automatic. Select 'S' mode and the steering wheel-mounted, F1-style paddle shifters are activated, allowing you to choose the right gear for every situation.
