![]() ![]() The Corvette 5.7L V8 is a classic American muscle engine that has become synonymous with high performance and power. Found in various generations of the Chevrolet Corvette, this 5.7-liter V8 engine has been a key contributor to the Corvette's legendary status as a performance icon. The 5.7L V8 engine, especially in its LS1 and LS6 configurations, produced impressive horsepower figures—around 350-405 horsepower, depending on the model year and tuning. Known for its strong torque, the engine delivered exceptional acceleration and top-end speed, making the Corvette a favorite on both the street and the racetrack. With advanced features such as aluminum alloy construction, overhead valve (OHV) design, and sequential fuel injection, the engine was not only powerful but also relatively lightweight and efficient for its time. It was paired with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission for a dynamic driving experience, and its low-revving, smooth power delivery made it a joy to drive. The 5.7L V8 has powered some of the most iconic Corvette models, including the C5 Corvette and parts of the C6 lineup, cementing its place in American automotive history as a symbol of performance, style, and engineering excellence. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Nope, GM really did that.
