C6 Corvette Engines – The Full List & Guide

When developing the sixth-generation Corvette, those within GM’s design and development seemed to be on a mission of sorts. This mission, of course, was to engineer a Corvette that built upon the line’s performance legacy, and ensure that all doubters and critics were silenced. By all indications, this is a mission that was fulfilled.

The Corvette’s engine bay was host to several outstanding GM powerplants during the C6’s nine-year production run. From the base 6.0-liter LS2 to the ZR1’s beastly 6.2-liter LS9, the C6-era was never short on performance. As a result, the Corvette soon found itself on the same stage as a number of perennial performers within the foreign market, including Porsche.

The following is a comprehensive guide to Corvette powerplants offered during the C6 era.
