Whoo... LS2 = Pontiac 455 Super Duty code.

Lets hope it makes its way into the next, better, GTO!

I'm really upset about the curb weight: 3214lbs

2004
Z06: 3115lbs
convertable: 3248lbs
coupe: 3246lbs

this car is almost 100 pounds heavier then the current Z06. If this car does not have more power throughout the band then Z06, I may be a little upset.

it is a 6.0 liter

That's great, but the SD-455's option code was still LS2.

The original LS1 was a 6.6L Pontiac....

wait, wasn't the LS1 a 355HP 427 for 1969?

TAFreak · Nov 24, 2003

The LS1 in the 1970 T/As (400 Ram Air IV) is a pretty famous engine... I'm having a difficult time finding much information on a Chevy 427 called the LS1.

Whats wrong with the weight, this is the coupe/convertible model Im assuming and its still 30 some odd LBS lighter...whats the problem. If you want the uber fast light weight version weight for the Z version to come out a couple years down the line.

Seems GM is fond of recyling identifacation numbers. I know that the LS6 was a chevelle engine option. The Z06 was an trim option on ealy 60's vettes and...the Zr1 was something but I don't remember. The ZL1 (rumored) to be comming was the famous Super camaro code....ever think they will bring back the L-88?

oh and hows that power reat hatch going to work?

perhaps GM allowed pontiac and chevy to use the same RPO codes for their engines, even though they were different? just a guess.

MORE power? Probably not, as much or near it enuff to keep up or surpass them? Yeah probably. But that I have a feeling ford is holding back on that 500hp raiting.. or at least what my mustang friends are telling me.

MCGARRETT · Nov 24, 2003

The old engines were LS1, ZL1 etc, the new engine is LS-1, (or is it the other way around?) the hyphen is is the difference.

Smilingoat · Nov 24, 2003

ive heard a lot about a 500hp vette with a full carbon fiber body. not unilke the hood on the comp. edition. i read an artical a few weeks back that it will be the first mass produced full carbon body produced.... that should take care of any wieght issues
