TimC Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Click Motor Trend's the latest buff book to chime in on Chevrolet's upcoming Viper-beater Corvette. (You'll recall that car was dubbed "Blue Devil" for an early prototype spied on the N rburgring, which happened to be blue.) According to the magazine, the new super 'Vette will indeed have a supercharged version of the 7.0-liter LS7 V8, but will be dubbed Stingray (one word), and according to their illustration, will get Super Sport badging. A liberal use of carbon fiber will reportedly bring weight down to 2900 lbs -- 232 lbs less than the Z06. MT says we'll see the launch in mid-2007. A 427 with more than 600 HP and will weigh in at 2900 pounds for around $100k. :pantsverytight: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Cid Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I'm sorry, but I'm just going to have to wait until one comes on the used market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 that is worthless without some spy shots... Probably look like the new Z06 with "SS" badging on the side. Will have to be mostly carbon fiber to get the weight down that much. I'll be in the used market for an '07 one in about 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
