Spied: 2009 Corvette Stingray
- Car News
650-hp boosted super-Vette is getting closer to reality.

October 2006
From afar this Vette would appear to be just another Z06. Now rub your eyes and take a closer look, because these are the first spy shots of the highly anticipated, but yet unnamed super Corvette. The large hood bulge you see is rumored to be concealing a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8, and packing upwards of 650 horsepower. This engine will likely use an integrated intake-manifold intercooler and should sprint from 0 to 60 mph in less than 3.4 seconds. And, with the addition of more carbon fiber in the body and expanded use of polycarbonates, this super Vette could weigh less than the current Z06.

Yep, there's been quite a bit of discussion on this over in the C6 Z06 Discussion forum. Here's a link to a merged sticky thread at the top of that forum:

Hope they make it, but surely that hood bulge is going to change.

My bad. I guess I should spend more time researching every year section for any talk about it! LOL. It must have been listed as something other than 2009. Me thinks some people spend waaaay too much time on here.
