2005 C6 Corvette

Base Coupe (1YY07)

The 364 cubic inch (6.0L), 400 Horsepower V8 engine, six-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission, stereo CD with MP3 capability, leather seats, six-way power driver seat, active handling, traction control, dual-zone electronic air conditioning, keyless access and start, fog lamps, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, tire pressure monitor, and floor mats were all included in the base price.

The standard engine for all 2005 Corvettes was the 400 horsepower LS2, a 4th generation Chevy small block engine. The engine displacement increased from 346 cubic inches (5.7 liters) to 364 cubic inches (6.0 liters) by enlarging the bore from 3.9 inches to 4.0 inches. The LS2 featured numerous refinements including increased camshaft lift, a higher compression ratio (10.9:1), lighter exhaust manifolds and a wingless aluminum oil pan that improved oil control during high G-force driving while reducing oil capacity from 6.5 to 5.5 quarts with filter. Redline for the LS2 was 6,500rpm, compared to the LS1’s 6,000 RPM.
