Re: Corvette Ss!!!

They already have a Corvette that can destroy a Skyline. It's called the C6 Z06.

Code name "Blue Devil" this new supervette will cost north of 100k, be in the 29xx's weight wise and have the 650+ LS9 engine, the first of the supercharged LS series engines. Pictures of the LS9 internals have already been released months ago...lol. I don't think a lowly skyline is what GM is planning on this vette competing with, think top of the line ferrari/lambo/etc. The C6 Z06 is already faster than the Zonda on the racetrack per Top Gear.

Re: Corvette Ss!!!

never said they have never done it, just that they dont need to.

I hear ya' there. But, you know they will continue to find ways of dragging the company to new lows. I, too, wish they wouldn't.

Re: Corvette Ss!!!

"If the thought of the new 500-hp Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang hedging in on the 505-hp Corvette Z06's territory raises your blood pressure, don't despair: Corvette chief engineer Tom Wallace has a 650-hp trick up his sleeve. A new super Corvette will build on the Z06's 7.0-liter LS7 V-8 that was developed in sync with the Corvette C6.R Le Mans racer. For this limited-production Vette, which might be called the Z07, Chevy will increase the LS7's displacement and bolt on a supercharger to bump output by 145 hp. The Z07, due in 2008, will be further differentiated from the Z06 by the use of more carbon-fiber body panels and a huge hood vent aimed at killing front-end lift. In true Corvette style, Chevy will undercut competitors by pricing the Z07 at about $100,000. This Corvette has been known within GM as the Blue Devil, after the mascot of GM CEO Rick Wagoner's alma mater, Duke, and also as the Sting Ray, but we think they'll go with Z07, or maybe Z06.R."

Re: Corvette Ss!!!

I'll believe it when I see it. That picture is just a computer mock up of a C6R with out all the stickers and wing.

The skyline doesn't even have a confirmed engine yet so saying that it's an 11 second car is ridiculous. Plus, it will more than likely be decently heavy with attesa and hicas. The real skyline is the R32 anything after is fanboy hype.

Re: Corvette Ss!!!
