American car companies were forced to deal with US Government mandated usage of unleaded/lower octane fuel and tighter engine emissions requirements. As a result. the era of high-compression engines and nonrestrictive exhaust systems was coming to an end. The muscle cars. as we all knew them. would soon nearly all disappear. However. Chevrolet still had a few performance tricks up their sleeve. The Corvette was offered with some very special performance options and the highest HP engine in the Chevy lineup. When you checked off the LS6 RPO code on your order sheet that year (and only 188 people did) you got the same fire-breathing. forged internal. 4 - bolted main. huge 800 - cfm Holley carburetor fed. aluminum manifold equipped 454 CI engine that had been used in the 70 Chevelle SS the prior year. when it was rated at 450 HP by the factory. The two big changes made to 71 LS6 Corvette engines were the addition of all-aluminum cylinder heads and a drop in compression from 11-to-1 to a lower-octane. unleaded-fuel friendly 9-to-1. The big brute still came out at 425 HP and 475 lbs ft of torque and the car ripped off 5. 3 second 0-60 mph and 13. 8 second ¼ mile times (source: Car & Driver 06/1971). Good enough to place this car squarely in the middle of the 50 fastest muscle cars of all time. Ultra-rare LS-6 option. One of only 188 built of that number. only a tiny handful of LS-6 convertible. 4-speeds were made and survive (recent LS6 Corvette estimate is 24 known to exist). 454/425 HP aluminum-head engine.
