Spy Shot: Blown Corvette Z06 Blue Devil - 600 hp!!

[Kirby]

This has to be 0 - 60 in around 3.2 seconds!



AutoWeek - Spied on the Nurbürgring, Blue Devil appears to be living up to the earlier hype. Eyewitnesses said the car sounds supercharged, confirming reports the engine is likely a blown version of the Z06’s 7.0-liter V8, producing upward of 600 hp. Look for lightweight carbon fiber body parts to reduce weight to about 2900 pounds.

Pricing will likely start somewhere around $100,000 if and when the car makes production in 2006.

Hawt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! However I think Chevy is making a mistake buy putting a 100k car on the market. Vettes have been know as the "Poor mans Ferrari", if someone has an extra 100k....my guess is that they would buy the Ferrari.

I like that car, 600 ponies...cool! I don't have 100k for one though.

Still, 600 brake is a fair bit of power for 100K. That's awesome bang-for-your-buck.

Nobody says anything about the big brake problems they were having though!

$100,000 Vette- Another smart move by GM!

Yea but just imagine, $200 pulley will probably yield 750 easy horsepower!

Though, I think a $100k vette would be hard for me to choose over a $99k porsche GT3... (GT3 does 0 - 62 in 4.3 seconds - and it's porsche, not a chevy)

Too bad my legs are not long enough even for a test drive.
