  • Corvette SS (Stingray) spotted

    Not sure if you guys are following this....


    "While the hood scoop indicates this is something other than an ordinary Z06, the real prize is under the hood where our spies previously heard the whine of what is most likely a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 pushing as much as 650 hp. The engine, which will be hand-built at a rate of 1500-2000 per year at the General Motors Performance Center outside Detroit, features an integrated intake manifold intercooler similar to the one GM developed for the Cadillac STS V-Series.

    So far, names for the production supercharged Corvette include everything from Z07 to Blue Devil to Corvette SS to Sting Ray. No matter what they call it, look for production of the 2009 model to start in early 2008. And set aside at least $100,000 if you want to one in your driveway."

      I aggree. That hood definitly doesnt say "Corvette" Looks like it should be on a Dodge Duster or something. Im sure they will make it look good before putting it out.
      No F-Body right now

        They don't want you to see what the hood looks like, hence the camoflauge.
        I can't wait to see the overall car without the camoflauge.

                    I agree.

                    should be a nice answer to Dodge's 650hp Viper.

                      I gave my deposit on this Stingray/SS/Blue Devil thingy when I picked up my 06Z. Let's see what happens. I hope it lives up to all the hype. If so, I'll bring it home. If not, I'll pass my ticket.
