Blue Devil a reality?

As if 505hp isn?t enough for the wildly successful new Z06 Corvette, a GM official has confirmed the Blue Devil or SS Corvette could be a reality? with 600hp! Tom Wallace told journalists that GM is working on the car, and spy photos show the proposed car on the famed Nurburgring test track in Germany with Michigan license plates.


Wallace did say that one facet engineers are focusing on is how to make the horsepower usable. It also is unclear if the new LS9 engine will be naturally aspirated or supercharged, as has been the talk on automotive Web sites.

The current Z06 has 505hp and can reach speeds of 198 mph. The Z06 has a base price of $65,800, and yes, that is a great deal of money, but is cheap for this kind of performance.

The Blue Devil may be the first six-figure car in GM history. Another area engineers are working on is weight and, through more extensive use of carbon fiber body panels, their goal is to make the car lighter than 3,000 pounds.

The 2006 Z06 weighs 3,132 pounds and can cover the quarter mile in 11.7 seconds at 125 mph.
Stay tuned.

Nope, no Blue Devil :D

Maybe a mid-engine C7 with the blown LS9 with over 600HP but almost 600 lb/ft of torque also?:eek:

I'm just betting a drivetrain test mule was seen.

Re: Blue Devil a reality?
 

Yes, Blue Devil.

It's on.:D

Re: Blue Devil a reality?
 

Nope

Corvette SS :D :eek:

Re: Blue Devil a reality?
 

No mid-engine and no blue devil name, but the rest...:D

Re: Blue Devil a reality?
 

I agree, and I can't say anymore, other than it will take in a lot of air:eek:

"The Blue Devil may be the first six-figure car in GM history." Evidently, the writer has not researched his material, the Cadillac XLR-V has a starting price of an even $100,000, and last I looked it has a GM emblem on the side.

DAMN! I was hoping.

A blue devil by any other name, then.

Re: Blue Devil a reality?
 

C6 an C7 "Corvette SS" being sold concurrently, possibly.

Re: Blue Devil a reality?
 

Uh... WOW! But I don't fit in Vette's very well.:( :D

Re: Blue Devil a reality?
 

Well, you're partially right. It won't be officially known as the Blue Devil when it comes out. Code named that now, though.:D:D
They're having a tough time getting the power to the ground with the current tire set up.

Re: Blue Devil a reality?
 

I am thinking this one will be supercharged. I just wish I could afford a new z06 for myself. /cry /shakefist
