GM today announced the new 2005 Corvette will feature the most powerful standard engine ever in Corvette history: the 400 horsepower, 6.0-liter, small-block V-8. The new 6.0-liter LS2 is part of the fourth generation of GM's small-block engines. The small-block debuted in 1955 with 265 cubic inches and 195 horsepower. Since then, this legendary family of engines has been an integral component of Corvette's performance history. Compared to the Gen III-based LS1, the LS2 incorporates several significant changes that help improve performance, reliability and serviceability.

While the foundation has been enhanced, every suspension component that attaches to it has been changed - none of the suspension bits have been carried over from C5. The short-long arm and transverse leaf spring independent suspension design remains, but the control arms, springs, dampers, bushings, stabilizer bars, and steering gear are completely redesigned. The Extended Mobility Tires (EMT) are also new, taking advantage of the latest compound technology for run-flat capabilities, and play a critical role in the tuning of the suspension for maximum handling and a comfortable ride.

The Standard suspension is tuned for a balance of ride comfort and precise handling. The optional F55 Magnetic Selective Ride Control suspension adds to the Standard suspension magneto-rheological dampers that are able to detect road surfaces and adjust the damping rates to those surfaces almost instantly for optimal ride and body control. SLP Performance Parts, the aftermarkets premier manufacturer of performance exhaust components, is pleased to offer the all-new C5 PowerFlo cat-back system for 1997-2004 Corvettes. The centerpiece of the C5 PowerFlo is its industry-exclusive cast aluminum tip, which was styled by a member of GMs C5 design team and features a unique shape that conforms to the vehicles rear-fascia opening. PERFORMANCE AND SOUND The C5 PowerFlo is equipped with a pair of application-specific mufflers that were specially designed to provide a rich, muscular exhaust tone while minimizing interior resonance. Improvements of up to 10 horsepower are possible, thanks to a drastic reduction in backpressure over the restrictive factory system.
