That LS7 engine is assembled by hand and, if desired, customers can even choose the Corvette Build Experience and help build the engine that will be used in their car. The automaker estimated 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds on to a quarter mile in 11.8 seconds and a top speed of more than 190 mph.GM’s Magnetic Selective Ride Control is standard, as are 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels with Michelin PS2 tires.
