Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 LS9 Engine Specifications - Domestic Exotica

Check out what makes the new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 LS9 Engine crank out more than 600hp.Domestic and exotic: The former refers to homegrown fare, but also implies the docility of a family pet. The exotic suggests foreign origins, along with alluring connotations of things that are strikingly and excitingly out of the ordinary. But you know what? GM's spectacular new LS9, the 638hp heart of the upcoming ZR1 Corvette supercar, is a stunning amalgam of both. It's certainly domestic-though you can throw out that whole docile thing-built with an exact mix of handbuilt attention and technological precision at GM's Performance Build Center in Wixom, Michigan. And as for exotica, calling this engine striking and exciting hardly does the thing justice. It is, after all, simply the most powerful production engine GM has ever created. This is our ultimate inside look at this impressive creation: We explored its conception and design and even participated in the meticulous assembly process for one of the very first examples.

That's awesome. I really like how everything is packaged in trays at the stations where those parts get installed. Bet that makes time and efficiency a lot better.
