It's not officially the Stingray. It was posted in OT last week that from an inside source, that project was actually called the Corvette SS.

Different photos than the ones linked in the first post. They are not the same car in the two different articles. I can't find the real ones that were faked because they've been pulled from the sites hosting them.


Moosie, I didn't mean the link had been posted in OT. I was referring to a thread last week in OT when someone posted that they were told that inside the engineering dept. the car's official title is Corvette SS.

The rear window surround has a C3 sail panel look to it. There are lots of good styling cues in this shot. I like it.

If THIS is what a new vette looked like ... I wouldn't waste my time with a C3.
Well, yes I would ... but:
I would beg, borrow, and steal to buy a new one.

I can't believe nobody mentioned what this "super" Vette should be called: L-88 I can't think of a more fitting badge for a Supercharged C6 Z06.

Will GM actually build a "Super Vette"? I hope they will. It would be a logical progession in the C6 line-up.
