Default No blue devil, not right

someone at a different forum said they wernt making the blue devil because it burnt up, something to do with the turbos and the firewall, something like that, but first of all it is supposed to be supercharged and that wouldent keep gm from making it 2nd the cadillac presenter knew about that and said they were building it I think thats crazy :crazy:

Was your "source" from the NAIAS and wearing a dark blue shirt? If so, that was the joint effort with the United Auto Workers (UAW). They were at the show to help answer potential customers questions, thereby reducing GM's cost of populating the floor. I also talked to a powertrain guy and he was very knowledgable about the six-speed automatic transmission, including details about the sun gears, bolt configutations, etc.

I sincerely doubt that the design engineers assigned to the Blue Devil project would be at the auto show. Lutz would not allow that to happen.

With the Ford GT planned for production and rumors floating around about the Daimler Chrysler ME Four Twelve being designed as a "production" car, the bar is being raised here in Detroit.

Remember there were some very expensive Corvettes available from Chevrolet during the 1987 - 1991 timeframe. If you ordered the B2K option with all the frills such as the Aerobody package and upgraded interior, the price would easily exceed $100,000. They just happened to have a different word between the tail lights. Callaway.

Don't worry. I'm certain Maximum Bob will answer the call. That's why GM hired him.

true, true but i think she was dressed in blue but on her nametag it just said cadillac and then her name and i dont think she is part of any car project but working for gm makes her susceptible to insider info even if she isnt supposed to hear it, and maybe she thought I was a potential buyer, I went with my father and he said I looked nice, hahaha, so maybe she thought I was a rich guy asking about prices because she did say it would cost like $100,000
