3900lbs. @ 650hp is 6.0

4100lbs. @ 650hp is 6.3 :(


As per the LS9/LSA, the rarity of that engine is the reason as to the cost. In reality, the additional components are not the sole reason as to difference in price between the two. Furthermore, its a corvette vs camaro thing... things now be shifting however till now everyone knows the corvette gets the more potent engine options. With that, just like the LT1 and the LS7, these powertrain packages have a target hp goal and the engineers have to figure out a way to get there.

Some times with a larger rotor pack, some times with a smaller rotor pack.


At the end of the day this is all just conjecture.

I understand GM has different goals to meet but reducing power makes no sense.
