Every Generation of General Motors LS Engine Ranked Worst to Best

13. LS7 – “The King of NA V8s”

If the LS3 is the people’s engine, the LS7 is the driver’s engine. It’s 7.0L of race-derived madness — 505 hp, 7,100 RPM redline, titanium internals, and a sound that could resurrect dinosaurs.

No boost needed. No gimmicks. Just raw, high-revving power in a lightweight package. It’s what you drop into a Z06 or Camaro Z/28 and then chase lap records. Yeah, it’s expensive and rare, but worth every penny if you live for track days and twisty roads.
