Chevrolet Corvette
The
LS2 was introduced as the Corvette's new base engine for the 2005 model year. It produces 400 hp (298 kW) at 6000 rpm and 400 ft·lbf (542 N·m) at 4400 rpm from a slightly larger displacement of 6.0 L (5,967 cc/364.1 cu in).
It is similar to the high-performance LS6, but with an improved power peak and more torque throughout the rpm range. The LS2s in the E-series HSVs are modified in Australia to produce 412 hp (307 kW) and 412 ft·lbf (559 N·m). The LS2s in the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer SS, and the Saab 9-7X Aero are rated at 395 hp (295 kW) and 400 lb·ft (540 N·m) of torque.
