GM has discontinued its most powerful crate engine. The \u00a06.2-liter, supercharged LT5 has been pulled from Chevrolet Performance’s website, so the question stands, what will replace it?<\/p>\n

The supercharged LT5 has only been in production a few years, so it is unclear why GM decided to pull the plug on the motor. The motor was a rare one comparatively, with only 3,000 examples of the 2019 Corvette ZR1 produced, the supercharged LT5 was for people who wanted to stand out from the sea of LS’s, albeit a much steeper price tag, $20,000 to be exact.<\/p>\n

the 6.2.L LT4 V8, which produces 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. Customers can purchase the LT4 V8 through a certified Chevrolet Performance dealer, which they can find via the automaker\u2019s website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
