Blue Devil rumors and schtuff
Ya, this should maybe be posted on the C6 forum, but I have a C5 and this is what *might* be on the roads, laying waste to us in a year or so:

What Edmunds.com Says:A standard Z06 is already a street legal race car. Adding another 100 horsepower seems like overkill.
What We Know: Rumors of a super Z06 Corvette have been circulating for months, but recent comments by new Chief Engineer Tom Wallace seem to confirm its existence. He told Autoweek magazine that the biggest hurdle for the modified Z06 is getting its 600 horsepower to the ground. Another issue concerning Chevrolet is putting that much horsepower in the hands of drivers who's only qualification is having a big enough checkbook to buy the car. Wallace suggested that a high performance driving course might be required for all buyers. He didn't mention any time frame for its introduction, but don't be surprised to see it debut at next year's Detroit auto show.
Wonder what it'll do with some NOS...
