Came from the Corvette racecar from 1957 built to win Sebring. Weighed in at 1850lbs and had 307hp. It hit 183mph, but had mechanical problems and retired after 23 laps.

BUT, it was never used on a production Corvette. Also vehicles of the 60's that had the SS badge were not the necessarily the be all and end all of performance as has been reiterated many a time in threads where people want to bash the new line of SS's.

There have been more production ZR1s than just the near-exotics of the early ninties. It was an option package in the third generation. ZL1 never appeared on a production Corvette to my knowledge, but there were the 2 or 3 1969 ZL1 prototypes that were built and were very fast.

 

Doh, too late for me. That is what I get for opening a bunch of threads at once in different tabs and then reading them in order... don't always get to see the newer posts

 

ahh...Chazman..........very close.

The answers are:

What was the Corvette S/S

What was 1957.

Who was Zora Arkus Duntov

you got two and 3/4s of 'em right, but you didn't post them in Question format!!!!!

(running, ducking, hiding)

 

VERY GOOD< HAZ-Matt!!!

People......pay attention!!

I think many have forgotten the SSs of the early to mid sixties. We tend, at least I think so, to think of the Chevelle SS-396 and SS-454 and the Camaro SSs........but in reality, most SSs were built over the early years with a 283....or a 327...or, worse yet, a 250 cu in in-line 6!!

 

Got me!

 

You mean Red had to tell you guys again?
I have made like 5 posts saying specifically "Red told us before that there is not SS Corvette." He said something along the lines of it not happening, but said that there would be reason to. He even did the same quiz about Duntov in that thread, with a pic of Duntov in the SS vette. He said this like a week before the SS rumors started circulating...

 

LoL....apparently you dont know what's going on at your own comapny. I know the supplier who's doing the supercharger. More than likely you are trying to defuse this with disinformation.

 

Oh no you didn't....
1. Red knows.
2. I get the feeling that you may cause this company to lose its contract.

 

You need to read closer.......... he said no "Corvette SS" nameplate. Said nothing about the existance or non-existance of a supercharger program.

 

you go boy!!!!!!!

wait til Red sees this. Vettejet82 should have seen what i got just for joking about a Camaro GT

 

CORVETTE STINGRAY!

That has my vote!

 

Did he say the car doesn't exist, or that it's NOT going to be called the Corvette SS?!

Pay attention & keep up, will ya?

 

Whoops, yep you guys are right. I read his post too quickly. My bad.

But I dont think me knowing who the supplier is will get them fired??

 

you sure hope not!!!!

 

Well it doesn't really affect me one way or the other. I just don't see how me knowing the supplier really matters much.
