Default Blue Devil/SS ---- C7 mid-engine

I go to Chevy dealer several times a week to talk and visit with a young salesman there, who is handling my 2008 C6 order.

The dealership is owned by Lithia Corporation. A trainer who works for Lithia corp, I presume, was in town to perform some training and education about upcoming model changes, etc. for Chevrolet and Cadillacs. He told the group of salespeople that there would be no blue Devil or SS no 600 horsepower corvette- - period. Apparently implying that the program has been put on hold or dropped. He further implied that a significant change was going to occur soon regarding Corvette.

Now this "visitor" has been to GM test drives and education with higher GM level people and presumably would be in the know.

Look out folks here comes a mid-engine C7 in 2009 or 2010.

Please remember, I am repeating heresay!!!!

There's a whole section of the forum where they're discussing it.

I doubt if they would believe him.

And there is a C7 thread here somewhere.
