Default 2009 Corvette Stingray/Blue Devil/SS/Z07/Whatever they call it.

2009 Super Corvette

Super Vette Spied!
Chevy?s 650-hp Corvette SS on track for 2008 intro

By BOB GRITZINGER

AutoWeek | Published 10/05/06, 8:34 am et


Nearly three years have passed since we first reported on Chevrolet?s plans for a super Corvette, a halo model well in excess of the already superb Z06. Judging by these spy shots, it appears assurances we were given earlier this year that the car was on the development fast track (?To Hell and Back,? May 8) were right on target.

While the hood scoop indicates this is something other than an ordinary Z06, the real prize is under the hood where our spies heard the whine of what is most likely a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 pushing as much as 650 hp. The engine, which will be hand-built at a rate of 1500-2000 per year at the General Motors Performance Center outside Detroit, features an integrated intake manifold intercooler similar to the one GM developed for the Cadillac STS V-Series.

So far, names for the production supercharged Corvette include everything from Z07 to Blue Devil to Corvette SS to Sting Ray. No matter what they call it, look for production of the 2009 model to start in early 2008. And set aside at least $100,000 if you want to one in your driveway.

Probably will end up being an SS. Blue Devil is out, and Sting Ray is too cool.
That engine will fit in an H3, and no hood scoop required.

Some parts, but it would take quite a large lunch bucket for the block.

We could not fit a Duramax in though...we tried.

So if this is how the Z06 whoops a 911 Turbo, imagine what the SS model will do...
