what exactly is the blue devil? :confused:
Blue Devil was a nickname given to a group of french soliders in one of the world wars that wore blue capes and were known for thier valor or something.

Duke University uses this as thier mascot.

The Head of GM went to Duke, and the team used the term Blue Devil to spark his interest in the project of a supervette.

Gm is looking at the possibility of a Supervette internally but wont commit to the media that it will actually happen.

Here is a quote from a recent autoweek interview:

"Chevy officials say they have no production plans for the 600-hp, 7.0-liter V8-powered Blue Devil, despite information obtained by AutoWeek pointing to a 2006 production debut of the $100,000 sports car."

Leave it to the French to go into battle wearing blue capes. :lolg:

Anyway, the quote could have been specifically chosen,. Any one of those could be different and they can still claim honesty. For example: 635HP or 125K or 2008 or ...

Dark Knight,

Don't be so smart about the French going into battle with their blue capes or they will slap your silly with the matching blue bags.
