2013 427 Corvette summary: The General Motors Chevrolet 2013 Corvette 427 2-passenger convertible includes a 7-liter (LS7) 505-horsepower naturally aspirated 16-valve front engine rear wheel drive V-8 connected to six-speed manual transmission. The C6 Corvette 427 Convertible will only be available as a 2013 year model, and if this is an indicator of the super high-performance thinking that will carry over into the next generation 2014 C7 Corvettes, we're in for very exciting times indeed. The best informational video, so far, on the 2103 Chevrolet 427 Corvette Convertible was done by Autoweek, starring The Bowtie Boys General Motors Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter.
