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.

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

Re: Corvette Blue Devil is a go?

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 .

Re: Corvette Blue Devil is a go?

Hmmm... 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...

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?

January is not that far away...

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
