With an LT1 6.2L V-8 engine under the hood, it rates at 455 horsepower and 455 lb.-ft. of torque, and is matched with the six-speed manual transmission with Active Rev Match. It also has Chevrolet Performance’s axle-back and stainless steel exhaust system installed for better engine breathing and a deeper exhaust growl.
