Default HUGE Frickin' News!

I just got home from the NAIAS press viewing. I went to check out the Vette and low and behold, Dave Hill is standing right next to me having a conversation with two other men. I tried to get as close as I could and listen to them without them noticeing. I diffenatly heard one man say "we supercharged it in under 3 hours, and thats what we needed to do" And then Dave Hill starts to ask questions about the factory where it was supercharged. All they spoke about was the Corvette, nothing else. If you ask me, I think they're talking about the Blue Devil.

I just thought I would pass on this little bit of whatever it may be.
:cheers:

What would be the reason GM wouldn't supercharge the Z06? Seems to me that would be the easiest way to get to 500 HP. :confused:

The Z06 won't be supercharged, the Blue Devil maybe, but I'm hoping for twin turbos.

I agree, I think a lot of people are confusing the new 'Z06' (a reality) with the 'Blue Devil' (a rumor)...they're NOT one and the same.
