My 2004 has the LS-6 as did the 2005. Originally rated at 400 hp, they have recently admitted that actual hp figures are closer to 450 hp. This engine also was rumored to have found it's way into at least some of the Florida Highway Patrol's Camaro interceptor cars. (And, yes, I did get to "test drive" one, but I'll never admit it in court.)
They switched to the LS-2 for 2006-2007 making the same alleged 400 hp, but with a "better" torque curve I understand.
2008-2014 brought the LSA, which was a 556 hp variant of the Z06's LS-9.
The latest generation, 2014-2019 uses the LT-4 making 640 hp. I haven't kept up with the Corvettes in , years but I know GM has often used interchangeable parts on the performance V-8's. It appears the CTS V only offers an automatic on the 2014 and up cars. And no more V-8 is in the line up at all after 2019, but several V models making north of 400 hp with the V-6 engines.
