The "New" Corvette

Has anyone heard or seen pictures of this? I breifly searched but came up empty handed. I heard it was supposed to be 700hp supercharged.

From the looks of it, GM based the hood off of the Viper (except for the hood scoop up top). Nice looking car though!

You are going to the wrong dealers, from day 1 you could pay MSRP for a z06. Even more so today and sticker of the 'super' corvette is rumored to be 100k.

Should out accelerate a lot of High priced supercars. Does anyone know if they are going to do anything different with the suspension, different than the leaf springs i think they use now? It would be sweet if they threw in some of the magnetic fluid shocks that ferrari is using on there 599.
