Well, that all depends on what year the car is and if it's a manual or an automatic.

In the aviation phoenetic alphabet, when you see the letters "L" and "S" on an airplane the callsign is "Lima" and "Sierra" i.e. N123LS would be pronounced "November One Two Three Lima Sierra." But frequently pilots will call the combination LS (as in N123LS) "November One Two Three Lickety Split."

Sure applies to our cars!

Good giggly wiggly I love my Vette!

The manual transmission in the Z51 is different. It boasts the same gearing thru the first four gears as the C5 Z06 which allows for quicker acceleration. Both use a 3.42 diff, but the transmission gearing gives a more aggressive final drive ratio.

The diffs available in the C6 are 3.42 for all manuals and 2.56 for all automatics since 2006. The '05 Z51 equipped with 4 speed automatic transmission came with a 3.15 diff. This diff could be ordered as a stand alone option in the '05.

At the Chicago Auto Show this week, they had a cutaway LS2 that was listed as 395hp, looked like a truck engine. Definitely not from a Corvette. So the LS2 designation must cover a whole family of engines, but not the engine in the Z06.

An option code may or may not be used across products. At one time, the code for auto climate control was the same for all GM products, for example.

BTW - Lxx is an engine code (LS2, LS7, L88, etc.), Zxx is a performance package (Z06, Z51, Z28, ZL1, etc.).

It was likely the Trailblazer SS engine you were seeing.
Just curious, did you actually not know that the LS2 was also used in that truck (rated at 395hp), the SSR and the Pontiac GTO (both rated at 400hp)?
