If it is naturally aspirated, it should be called
Super Natural

another vote for ZR1

Z06R would be bad. "R"s go on damn near every car from japan now days and just dont think it should go on the corvette. C5R and C6R are different because theyre obviously real race cars

I think it should be the next Z06 and if there is a Corvette between the base and the Z06 it should be called Sting Ray.

I don't think Callaway would be too happy about that.

And ya know what? I never realized how much this looks like the C5 in the front until now:

Surprised nobody said ZL1. That was one of the fastest and without a doubt the rarest Corvettes ever made.

Well, this next vette won't be NA, so we don't have to worry about Callaway.

ZL1 should only be considered if either is going to have an aluminum big block... which we know isn't going to happen.

I think the ZL1 should be left with the originals and the UBER cool big block 93 Camaro Jon Moss created

Automobile magazine repeatedly refers to it as the Corvette SS in an interesting article about the history (and future) of the LSx motors.

I would go for Stingray.

I heard at work that it is going to be called the blue devil because the cheif engineer went to Duke university. I also heard that this car is going to cost $110,000.

Another vote for ZL1. The baddest factory Corvette from the past.
