The new LS9 6.2L supercharged—the standard engine in the 2009 Chevrolet
Corvette ZR1—is a technology marvel that holds the distinction of being
the most powerful regular-production engine ever offered in a GM car. It
helps propel the 3,324-pound ZR1 from 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and through the
quarter-mile in an astonishing 11.3 seconds at 131 mph—all the way to a top
speed of 205 mph! Those stats make the ZR1 not only the most powerful
car ever from GM, but the quickest and fastest, too!

GM Performance Parts is thrilled to offer the LS9 6.2L in a fully dressed
crate engine package. And while it shares the 6.2L displacement of other LS
engines, this one is unique, with stronger block casting, stronger cylinderhead
castings and steel cylinder liners that are honed with a deck plate
installed to maximize performance and cylinder sealing.

High-rpm-validated lightweight reciprocating parts, including titanium intake
valves and connecting rods, are used along with high-flow cylinder heads
that flow the charge forced on them by a sixth-generation supercharger. A
revised, higher-helix design delivers greater power at the low end and sustains
it longer through the rpm band for broad, on-demand power whether
off-idle or at speed. A dual-brick charge cooler is integrated on a unique
manifold system that mounts the “blower” in the engine’s valley, with
charge cooler on top.
