566 lb-ft of Torque From a Stroked 415-Inch LS3!
When the 1997 C5 Corvette hit the road it was our first look at GM’s new LS1 powerplant. The all-aluminum EFI-fed mill was leaps and bounds better than the LT1 it replaced and there wasn’t an Opti-Spark to be found. Life was good. The power output was good as well with an advertised 345 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of twist (at the crank). And although that was great power in 1999, by today’s standards it falls a bit short, especially if you want to go hit the local open track day with newer C6s and C7s.
