Default LS9 Question...
Do you think the LS9 will be the last engine to carry the "LS" namesake?

You never can tell with GM, although I hope that they know a good engine when they design one....

I Was checking pricing on the LS7 and it's $14,000, That's crazy, I wonder if it really does have the 28 mpg .

I doubt it. GM had LS badged motors in the earily 70's but they died out pretty quickly, hopefully they're here to stay now

I see your point....they've used LS1, LS2, LS4, LS6, LS7, and will soon be using LS3 and LS9....that leaves 5 or 8, give that RPO codes are three characters long. Either way, they'll come up with something...

I dont think we need to worry about the name code as long as the product it there.

Yep. This isn't the first time GM has used these "LSx" RPOs. And it probably won't be the last.

I look for them to go to another RPO code acronym. They will probably use the LSx designed block for many years to come, but the RPO's will probably be recycled into something eles.

The LS4 is the 5.3L V8 found in the new Monte Carlo and Impala SS, and the Grand Prix GXP.

We have a section for it right on this site:

Um...wouldn't logic suggest that they would switch to LRX codes for the future engines. I mean they went from LTX to LSX right.
