The 2007 Corvette Specifications
The 2007 Corvette’s new features refine a groundbreaking sports car that was all-new in 2005 and substantially enhanced again in 2006. Coupe and Convertible models come with the LS2 6.0L V-8 engine that produces 400 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque. It is matched to a rear transaxle that helps improve vehicle weight balance – a six-speed manual is standard and a six-speed paddle shift transmission with automatic modes is available. The front and rear short/long arm suspensions reflect the most competition-influenced suspension tuning in the Corvette’s history.

* Horsepower and torque are SAE certified. A new voluntary power and torque
certification procedure developed by the SAE Engine Test Code committee was
approved March 31, 2005. This procedure (J2723) ensures fair, accurate ratings
for horsepower and torque by allowing manufacturers to certify their engines
through third-party witness testing. GM was the first auto manufacturer to begin
using the procedure and expects to use it for all newly rated engines in the
future.
