Thanks for the pic's

It is going to be time to take a recorder to capture the sound of some of these cars since they are sounding so good.

[Northstar]

NIce work Chris!

So, this is obviously a powertrain test car. I wanted to see how big the rear meats are actually going to be, but we'll have to wait until CD catches some vehicles that are testing other things as well.

[Camino LS6]

Wow!

[PurdueGuy]

looks like that's just a buldge in the hood, not a scoop, correct? I couldn't spot any openings, front or rear...

[ToniCipriani]

Those tailpipes look different from the regular Z06. Perhaps an upgraded exhaust as well?

They look mean

[Cadillacfan]

I want to see what visual changes they're going to make to differentiate it a little more from the C6 and Z06. Chevy's getting into a pricing territory($100,000) where the buyers are more demanding of the look and quality of the product. I hope the interior gets upgraded as well. I trust Lutz will do something with it.

[Northstar]

Thanks. 

Actually I think what you see is what you get on the rear tires. Since it is a powertrain test car, the tires would probably have to be what will run on the final car since that's what is putting the power down. Originally a few of us thought yesterday that the rear tires were slightly wider than the current Z06. Still not sure about that. I didn't think wider rear tires that the Z were possible! I also think the pipes may be slightly wider. Also can't confirm that either though.

For some reason I was under the impression that the tires the Z06 has now are the widest you can put on it without having them stick out from the body (which is why it has bigger fender flares than the regular one). So, maybe they aren't going to be any bigger then. The pipes do look a little bigger, I did not notice that before.

Any idea what those two red things are by the backup lights? They look like they're plugging something(?)

It also has a little silver thing in the lower air damn. Adaptive cruise?

i need a kleenex

[NOS2006]

Very f***ing cool, Chris. Good catch!

[hyperv6]

It as been reported to expect a carbon fiber body, bigger tires and brakes.

2900 pounds is the target with more aero downforce from the body panels.

625 and 650 HP are the most quoted ratings but 700hp is said to have been produced in testing

Most say to expect a road going C6-R.

I expect if the number are around 650 HP and 2900 lbs with all required performance mods, most buyers will be getting their moneys worth for 100K.

[Slideways]

Am I the only one who thinks the bulge or scoop looks photoshopped? It looks awful blurry to me, only the profile shot looks decent.

Yee-owwwch! That's a mean Vette.

What kind of power are we looking at here again? I'm feeling someone should try to recreate the following Vette . . .

[cletus8269]

they arent really going to call this beast the corvette "ss" are they? at the moment "SS" is pretty watered down... HHRSS. there has to be a more imaginative name that strikes terror in the hearts of those who own "competetive" cars. Edited October 5, 2006 by cletus8269

[Intrepidation]

So is this the "blue devil" or is that yet another Corvette spinoff not related to the SS?

I would like to see Z06.R, or Sting Ray, or ZL-1.

201559[/snapback]

ah ok, that's cool

[Satty]

No, its a Blue Devil mule.....wait, thats not funny, it actually is.

[Slideways]

Get your eyes checked. 

201480[/snapback]

I'm not saying it's not there, it's just that the flat black scoop looks wierd from the front 3/4, like it's finish is uneven. Maybe it's new stealth bodywork designed to make your job harder.

[ZL-1]

ZL-1.

201562[/snapback]

Now that's a nice name!

[cletus8269]

201562[/snapback]

i was hoping stingray would make a comeback. would they use another old order option code like they did with the ZR1 and the Z06? I think SCZ06 could work if its supercharged

1. Expect new hood (cureent issue Carbon fiber doesnt like sharp bends)

2. Expect low PSI from super charger. For Production maintance issues.

3. After market will have with pulleys and stuff to increase PSI and giving Higher HP Ratings.

4. Expect MSRP to be right under 100k like $99850 but taxes and options should push it over.

5. Also redesigned Interior for wieght loss. Supposed metalish trim. still cheapy plastic dash.

6. Thick black tire thread marks are soon to line stop lights across the nation.

So your saying this was one of the early Proto type Blue Devil equals that GM had messed around with and never brought to market?

How about something basic like Corvette Z06-R?

[capriceman]

:AH-HA_wink:

[corvette_dude729]

Is that for real!?!?

[the_yellow_dart]

:AH-HA_wink:

202168[/snapback]

What is this from?

[corvette_dude729]

Is that really the high performance 'Vette that we've all been waiting for? or is it just some ordinary Z06 with special bodywork?

Edited October 6, 2006 by corvette_dude729

[capriceman]

[capriceman]

[Northstar]
