things change gm has changed there minds recently with other things.

the ls7 is an expensive motor and has to be hand built from my understanding. although i don't know what would have to go into a production supercharged 6.2 s/c engine.

i also though there was a press release saying there would only be 3000 of these corvettes made? and at over 650 hp and the 430 hp base engine that leave a lot of room for a 505 hp motor i think. Pluse there will be a huge difference in price. 44000 the 650 version was estimated to cost 100,000 so i see there being room for a smaller engine. will it be an ls7 or something else i dont know but i see it possible they decide to keep it

 

i think it would be a mistake to remove that 7L. its there... its done... make it production if its too expensive.. teh car is a money maker as the image hsa gone up thanks to it and its marvelous engine.

 

My guess would be that the parts for the LS7 would be a lot more expensive than the SC LS3 too. The LS3 will be available in other vehicles as well so that would keep costs down a bit.

 

I'm torn as both motors would be awesome, but I voted for the 6.2 S/C. I have a KB car now, dip into the throttle and hold on baby. Plus, the streetability is very livable.

 

N/A for me thanks!

 

After seeing the ZR1, 620hp, S/C 6.2L is confirmed as what I want..

 

I have to say that I would want the 6.2 S/C. Reason for this is quite a few. First, the guts of the baby would be forged, which would be able to withstand way more boost than the factory can put at it. Second, today's forced air equipment is very streetable. For example, my 03 KB Cobra has a 4.6 S/C. It came rated from the factory with 390 hp. After using some aftermarket parts and a KB blower, she now puts down a streetable 650 to the tires on 91 oct. So, my theory would be, if the 4.6 can do this, I couldn't imagine what the 6.2 would do with some aftermarket parts, different blower and a good tune. Scary 900+ at the tires???
