Default Corvette SS

The local Chevy dealer is accepting deposits on the new blown ZO6 I assume this is the Blue Devil/SS whatever it'll be called. I know personaly of one person who put the cash down. Anyone else here doing the same or know any more facts on the car. I was told 660hp and was costing $109K he currently has a 06' ZO6.

Blue Devil? That was just a factory Z06 straight off the assembly line that everyone freaked out about because it ran such good times. They thought for sure that it was some special edition. It was just a factory blue C6 Z06. Hence "Blue Devil".

That off-again/on-again super-Corvette is definitely on, according to General Motors performance cars chief Tom Wallace.

Wallace, who replaced recently retired Corvette chief engineer Dave Hill, tells AutoWeek the biggest challenge facing the so-called Blue Devil Corvette is figuring out how to get 600 hp to the ground in such a way that it can be handled by a driver with the money to buy the car.

Wallace said GM is considering requiring that Blue Devil—and even Z06—buyers attend a driver school as part of the price of admission.

There was a blue Z06 that was seen being tested in Germany. The reporter who wrote the article said he heard a distinct whine.

You could probably make a more powerful/faster C6 z06 by modding it yourself than the "Blue Devil".

The new Vette will be blown, like the Ford GT, swap a snout and tune it and get another 100-130hp at the wheels on a highly tuned motor like this will have.
