The Blue Devil is a GO...........
 
It will be built and will have 650 HP. It will be shown at the Detroit Auto Show this Jan. It looks like a 2008 model. That is ALL of the info. I have at this time but will share any new info with you.

Oh boy! :thumbs: I predict it will be a Z06 with a hopped-up engine. Who thinks it will have different styling that your grandmother will spot? :lol:

Totally cool!!! Im still glad they picked the fastest color. :flag:

Great news Rick ! When it comes from you ... we can take the news to the Bank

... or in this case give the Bank Acct to your dealership/GM in '08.

Great news!

Time to start planning a trip to Detroit!

bowtie_bias 10-20-2005 06:07 PM

Supercharged or turbo ? I hope { not that I care to buy one } they use
a twin screw sc . Knowing GM , it will be shared from the XLR .

If they do make this car I hope it's NA(doubt it)...and i hope they pay a real tribute the Grand Sport name and call it a Grand Sport and leave the lame ass attempt in 1996 in the past. It was blasphemy to call that car a Grand Sport>IMO.

With letting the cat out of the bag this early, what is Ford and Dodge going to do to compete?

Ford: A beefed up GT - maybe bring it back to the 427.
Dodge: Another viper variant

just my guess

That's called a 415 ZR-1, my friend! ;)

Dave Hill said no blue devil....We know Rick's track record, so this should be interesting.

SharkbyteLT4 10-20-2005 07:02 PM

probably going to be that 6.3/6.4 L supercharger engine that has been floating around. HOpefully they won't go cheap on the pistons like they did on the LS7 and forge the hell out of it....

KraZ 10-20-2005 07:03 PM

And now I will buy what I have been waiting for.... :eek:

The car that's going to make them wet their shorts and remind us all of what Corvette truly means.

Bring it on baby! make it as wild as you can like the old ZL1....Grand Sport....Stingray......ohhhhhh boy....I'm starti'n ta fill dizay :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

EDIT: #1 dropped out so that's my # now.
