EDIT: I just realized, GTStang's sig will have to be changed a bit, as I'm sure the LS2 is now the new the new motor that can never be beaten.

And here's my contribution. This, from what I've heard, is the valve layout for the LS2.

BS....carnnutt please refrain yourself from posting bs information like this.....look at that interior...its actually nice...Ergo this car cannnot be a corvette


















just j/k nice pics

[Neutrino]

Negative... she's still 2 valves per cylinder via pushrods...


that head design came out last year as a demostration from GM that they could build a 3 valve per cylinder head... looks interesting though...

Compared to the Gen III-based LS1, the LS2 incorporates several significant changes that help improve performance, reliability and serviceability:

• All-new aluminum block casting incorporates provisions for external knock sensors and revised oil galleries; external sensors improve serviceability
• Cylinder bore diameter increased to 101.6 mm (4.00 inches), increasing displacement to 6.0 liters
• Camshaft lift increased to take advantage of increased cylinder head flow
• Camshaft sensor relocated from the rear of the block to the front of the block provides room for new oil galleries
• Flat-top piston design with lower ring tension reduces friction
• Piston floating wrist pins help quiet the engine
• Redesigned, “wingless” oil pan with cast baffling has reduced mass and provides superior oil control under high-performance driving maneuvers
• Revised exhaust manifolds are 33 percent lighter
• More efficient ignition coils require less energy to provide a comparable spark
• Compression raised to 10.9:1
• Larger, 90-mm single-blade throttle body
• Reduced-mass water pump design with improved sealing capability
• Engine “redline” raised to 6500 rpm
• Revised and more powerful engine controller incorporates all electronic throttle control functions.
• Mass has been reduced by 7 kilograms on the automatic version.

Cylinder heads for the LS2 are derived from designs used in previous Corvette Z06 models, including raised intake ports and an unshrouded-valve combustion chamber design that, when combined with the engine’s flat-top pistons, produces a more efficient swirl of the air/fuel mixture. This efficiency enables a higher 10.9:1 compression ratio, which increases fuel economy and horsepower.

cool thanks for the info

I thought the drawings of the concept were pretty hideous, but seeing the pics and that new Chevy commercial really changed my mind. Looks great to me! Ferrari/Viper-ish front end. Sweet!

I forgot to look closer, but is 400hp for the non-z06 vette?

[Amish_kid]

Hmm anyone else hear the rumors of the " Blue Devil " Corvette they might be making supposed to have in the area of 600 hp.

[Steel]

360 modena comes to mind...

[carrrnuttt]

The future Z06 is projected to have 500 N/A horses, while the "Blue Devil", which is unlikely to make production, has 625 supercharged horses, and if ever produced, might likely be the next ZR-1.

EDIT: BTW, the Z06 and the "Blue Devil" will both have Nikasil-lined 427cid motors...that's 7-liters for those unfamiliar with cubic-inches.
