Engine Options for the 2010 Corvette

Since 1953, the Chevrolet Corvette has been a household name in the world of high-powered sports cars with big-bore engines and throaty exhaust notes

. The original Corvette design, codenamed "C1," changed the car industry forever. While the Corvette has undergone many design changes throughout its 57 year history, the basic goal of the car remains exactly the same as it did all those years ago: Go fast, and do it loudly.

The 2010 Chevrolet Corvette takes this tradition to the next level. With the base trim model powered by a 6.2 liter V8, this new "C6" model Corvette blends the division between street car and race car. 430 horsepower finds its way to the rear wheels, thanks to the award-winning LS3 engine. Drivers with a good bit of nerve can find their way from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just under 5 seconds. With 424 foot-pounds of torque at 4600 RPM, this base model Corvette will claw at the asphalt and leave you gasping for air as you race through the power band.

Amazingly enough, two higher-powered versions of the Corvette are available to the general public in 2010. The 2010 Corvette Z06, already a hot performer in the C5 body style, finds its way back to the streets with the LS7 7.0 liter V8. The Z06 pushes out a monstrous 505 horsepower, competing with much more expensive super cars for the title of "Most Powerful Street Car." At a curb weight of 3175 pounds, the Corvette Z06 will take a driver from 0 to 60 miles per hour in under 4 seconds. If you don't feel that your 505 horsepower is enough, have a look at the Corvette ZR1 and its supercharged 6.2 liter V8. With 638 horsepower at your fingertips, you'll never be the same again.
