97'RS6-BucketTurd

"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."

Ahh another car i can't afford. It's a good thing drool is free.
Props to GM for staying on top.

EDIT: I found this also...but no pictures so there's no point in making another thread. It's about the new Camaro and possible engine options!!

"In recent months, there has been a great deal of speculation that, assuming GM decides to produce the Chevrolet Camaro, a high-performance model will be offered with a Corvette motor. In fact, GM's Bob Lutz has even acknowledged the possibility of shoehorning the Z06's LS7 engine into the Camaro. But according to the August issue of GM High-Tech Performance, the automaker could go a step further. The magazine says GM is contemplating putting the supercharged LS9 engine in a range-topping Camaro SS. GM is also said to have another 6.2-liter LS derivative in the works for its full size truck lineup. (Recently, we brought you spy shots of what could be the new LS truck engine). Lastly, the magazine reports GM is in the initial stages of prototyping a new "huge" LS-style engine with 8.3 liters of displacement and 900 horsepower. It's unclear if that engine is the LS9, or something entirely different. The source who worked on the engine said, "I don't get parts unless they're actually going to do something with them." (Recently, we noted GM registered the name "LSX" for a vehicle engine). "

ALSO I found this over at Digital Corvettes:

650HP? Won't do.. Supposedly the Viper will use that 650HP number.. I say nudge to 685 and freakin' let the public know GM is serious.

I hope it doesn't look like that, damn that thing looks cheap!! It looks like a kit car z06 IMO.

The engine on the other, absolutely BADASS! I hope they put one in to a z06.

I agree they need to keep the new body style from 06 and get rid of that hood Looks like the gts hood .

I think the hood is sweet. I'm confused though, I thought the Blue Devil would be DOHC, not a larger cubed LS7. I dont know if I believe the 900 HP 8.3 liter though, and I dont see an LS7 or a supercharged LS9 in a Camaro!

In case you haven't seen it, here are pictures of the "LS9":

I don't see GM engineering a whole new set of DOHC heads for an uberVette when the company is in as much deep **** as it is. Especially when they already have motors that are well capale of developing 600+hp. If GM does build a Corvette that's faster than the current C6 Z06 my guess is that it will either use a hotted up version of the LS7 7.0L V8, or a blown version of it's new 6.2L truck motor. An all new set of OHC heads seems too far fetched IMO. Dodge scrapped plans for a DOHC Viper before the current 3rd gen car was introduced and I think GM learned a thing or two after the ZR-1. And that is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Z07 is already used by MTI, unless GM is going to pay them for the name, they aren't going to use it.
