Corvette Blue Devil is a go?

Check this out (http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=1214496&forum_id=100)

Can any of you "insiders" confirm or deny this? Or at least ;)

Could this just be the new z06 motor we have heard about for 2008, the ls9? It was reported to be a blown 6.2, making around 600hp.

Jeeze, they're gonna tear the viper and gt-40, and alot of extics a new one...again! However, this might not be z06, and might be an sts-v. If its a production engine, that really ups the maximum hp on a Camaro.

Woo-Hoo!!!:thumb:

Powertrain testing has been going on for awhile, you've seen some spy shots of cars running the engine/forced induction method.

:think: ™

Hmm.. I think this car is gonna be way outta my price range.
I am gonna stick with my SC BBC 700 hp chevelle build up and I know I will come out way cheaper, and I will be ready to run one of the things against my car in 2008 :D .

Exactly.

Is that a SC 572? Cause that'd be really bad a$$.

Hmmm... :think: Only read the first few posts, but I just have to wonder who is this guys and where does he get his info from. Maybe he knows something, maybe not... :shrug:

Anyway, regardless whether that's true or not... Now that the high end is pretty much covered (C6, C6 Zo6, Blue Devil etc.), how about that sub-$25K thingy for the Average Joe? :think:

January is not that far away...

would Chevy debut the Camaro and a uber-vette at the same show?

Nope.

I would normally say no, but if they did they would show that chevy is listening to the hard-core enthusiast..

Maybe they've decided the "Def-Ear" way of product design and deliverance isnt the best way to conduct business :think:

I promise to laugh for a week if they call it the...

It's actually his third post. One in April 2005 and one in July 2005, but they were in the Lounge, and that doesn't count.

Still a lot of lurking. :D

Corvette SS! :lol:

I think the original Z24 was a pretty cool car. I'm serious....

Anyway, PX...get in that other VZ coupe thread. I'd like your input.

:lol: then all the Vette guys can argue later on-"the Z06 is better!!!"
"NO......the SS is better"


they'll sound just like us :lol:

How will the Blue Devil differentiate itself from the Z06, besides a bulge in the hood (thats a given) The Z06 already has all of the scoops, ducts and flares.

Well I think if BD wants to be the BEST performance car out there they have a few options. A mostly carbon fiber body is pretty certain. I think the entire body will be differentiated from the C6, whereas the Z06 was a C6 with fender flares and a bigger CHMSL. I think the whole car wil be wider. Anyone know if AWD is possible? Will the wheel base be longer to put the heavier motor, B/c of the super charger and associated plumbing, further back? There are LOTS of things they could do. Heck it could even have the new Chevy face with a split grill like the new Tahoe and Uplander! (j/k guys I pray that doesn't happen.) But there are lots of options when you add another 30+ thousand dollars to the price. I also wonder if these will be built at the Vette plant. It is running full time just keeping up with C6, XLR, and Z06 orders with Z06s coming down the like like 1 out of every 5.

I think BG is only running 1 shift

GM just doesn't make any official or even unofficial releases to the press anymore huh?

there will be no such vehicle shown at NAIAS this year.

but the main demographic for a new camaro won't be the hard-core enthusiast...


I was saying it in a tone that it wont happen..

I think we've already proven the F-body cant stay alive souly on hardcore enthusiasts or we would be seeing them on lots now wouldnt we?

there will be no such vehicle shown at NAIAS this year. The truth has been spoken :cry:

A chance we'll see such vehicle anytime in the 06 Autoshow season?

no.

by the way..........

Does anyone happen to know where the SS moniker came from?


(no peeking.......)






















The SS was placed on a special race car that Zora Arkus-Dontov raced in the late 50s....the Corvette SS.

When asked if the car was a sports car, he replied "no...it's not a sports car, it's a SUPER Sports car."

So......while I don't think you'll ever see the SS on another Corvette, there would be a reason, perhaps, to do so.

no.

So Chevy won't extend the SS moniker on the vette? I know the Corvette enthusiast would go nuts if that happened :lol: (I didn't know this history, I'm assuming most of them don't either)
here's a nice pic I found.

It also wouldn't make much sense to have a very important car *cough* over shadowed on its debut.

that's *cough* right!


HEY........how in the world did you guys manage to photoshop Zora into the 5th gen??????

(running, ducking, hiding)
