Default Is there a Blue Devil?

From the C5/C6 Registry

Is there a Blue Devil?
Edmunds Online Reports:
Tom Wallace, head of performance cars at General Motors, says the Chevrolet Corvette Blue Devil and its 600 horsepower are set to become a reality, according to an online report by Auto Week. His main worry: how to make sure the Blue Devil is driven by people who can handle the power.

Perhaps GM will start a Blue Devil driving school, he mused, adding that it would be a good idea for buyers of the Corvette Z06 as well.

The Blue Devil is reportedly a Corvette Z06 with 100 more horsepower from a supercharged engine, an approximate 2,900-pound curb weight, and a price expected to hit $100,000 or more. There was no word on exactly when this Blue Devil will be available for sale, to qualified drivers or otherwise.

The registry has no idea in what context Mr. Wallace made this statement, but we too are excited!

Bishs,

Lots of talk, no show.
ON then OFF again and then back ON.
The C6-R is 600HP, so we know they can do it. But can they actually make it street legal?

-Bill. Not for another couple years.

When the Camaro SS comes out the Corvette will need more power
I like that the power wars are back, I just hope the Government doesn’t feel the need to step in.

Well seeing as they have announced that GM will build the new camaro and will have 400hp, it seems feasible that the new vette will reach the 600 hp mark. My only question is where does it go from here?

I figure a year after the 400hp Camaro comes out they will build one with the LS7 and call it SS or some other historic designation ZL1, 1LE... That’s probably when they will release the Blue devil.
