Thanks for the info but we already knew http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...1126926&page=2
Still many here don't think that car is anything but a regular Z06 with black wheels.

makes sense..but I surely hope its the blue devil...
but for a blue devil the 7:40 mark is not that good especially when they are talking about a significant price increase... (the sad part)
and considering (another yellow's info is right for Z06 to be @ 7:43), 3 secs for 100 more hp and some more weight loss, if the Z06 is 43 then the BD should be no more than 7:35-36...just my thought..

Since when did Auto Car Magazine become the foremost authority for Corvettes. You are a bunch of idiots if you believe a Blue Devil will only make 600bhp and be 16-second faster than the old C5Z06. Use your brains you morons.
