Hey everyone, I really know NOTHING about these two engines, and was wondering if someone could give me a crash cours in the difference between them, and what makes them good engines, what cars they're in, etc. Any usefull info that is important to know about these engines would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, G-man422

Sorry I didn't actually post anything, but them and XXX.XXX have great info stickied in their forums about those motors.
Much easier to link you to them and allow you to read up on them than to try to type it all out for you.

The only REAL difference is the number at the end.
I read that GM is pulling more tricks out its proverbial hat.
A new 6.2L LS3 ~ 430hp
LS8 - Supercharged from the factory ~ 500hp
LS9 - Intercooled and Supercharged ~ 650hp (to compete with Ford GT). Its also rumored to be the new engine in the 'Blue Devil' dubbed Corvette SS.

^ ah yes, the "Blue devil"

"Stingray" guys.
As I understand it, GM has officially named it a stingray.

And there are plenty of differences past the last number.

Yeah, sorry, I'm a very sarcastic person and sometimes forget that sarcasm can't really be portrayed implicitly over the net.
So, stingray, huh? How original. Why couldn't they come up with something a little more unique? (Not dissing on the name though.)

Mr. Luos · #8 07-13-2006, 08:58 PM

Corvette SS isn't very original either.

This is true.
We should come up with some original names and submit them to GM. If they chose one, they have to give the winner one of the car's because its their name. Ahh...I love to dream.
Can't wait to see the car and the numbers when/if it comes out.

so there bringning back the vette stingray?? that'll be SICK as hell! ..if only I weren't broke as hell

. with the LS9 it looks like dodge is gonna have some catching up to do with that '08 viper. i'm psyched about the new challenger too,, maybe they might even release a new 'cuda soon

The SS badge will never be on a Vette.. Chevy said so itself.

Rumors of said Z07....
http://temp.corvetteforum.net/c5/joecooool//Z07.jpg

Apparently said to be $100K and beat Saleen S7's.

At this point, I have NO idea what they will call the super-vette. Seen SS, Blue Devil, Stingray, etc.

if they do the older body style on the corvette... im a goning to start knocking off their heads.

Seriously I think that would be stupid to follow a trend started by... THE FRIGGIN MUSTANG!!!!!

Rally Sport · #14 07-14-2006, 01:53 AM

I would be thinking that the new 'SS', 'Sting Ray', or whatever Vette would be called Z06 and that'd be that.. and the Z06 we have now will be the Z51 option

G-man422 · #15 07-14-2006, 09:22 AM

I think "stingray" would be the best name for the new vette anyway.
