Blue Devil

I was reading an article about the Z07 with 7 liter supercharged
650bhp w/ 3 second 0-60mph and 200 + mph top end for around $100k
planned to come out in 2009. It's currently known as the Blue Devil
while it's a work in progress. Anyone know if this has any truth
all bs?

Supercharged 6.2 or 6.3 liter is what believed to be in current testing.
Why not google SS corvette or visit a few of the Corvette forums for the
latest spy photos. Also youtube has video footage.

REPLY: Im sure the Racers in this NG will testify that these figures
are achievable with that much power providing its planted firmly to the
ground ; Id guess an experienced Racer could do the quarter , around low
10's --- truly incredible to think its going to be a factory car along
with good street manners.

Given the C6 Z06 has turned in 10's showroom stock on drag radials and
under 11.25 on EMT's. While the BD/SS/ZR-1 will certainly rip up the
strip, I wonder what it will do on the Nurburgring!

My totally stock C6 (not a Z07) scares the beJesus out of me. I can't
imagine trying to herd a fire breathing dragon like this Blue Devil
around.

REPLY: All the test results ive read on the C6/ZO6 has it coming in at
11.7 on EMT's. If it will do 10's on drag radials, that tells us there
is tire spin going on with the EMT's. I wonder what type and size
tires the BLue Devil will be outfitted with from the factory ??

REPLY: I experience the same with my 2006 C6 ; I seldom nail it from a
start, but yesterday i was in a jam trying to turn left across 4 lanes
of traffic from a stop and couldnt see for a parked truck . Had to make
her go in a hurry to avoid a collision ; got a reminder of just how
quick it is off the line . My 78 year old mom who was the passenger was
reaching desperately to grab something (anything) !

I think I remember one of those tests where they launched in second
gear at 6000 rpm. It was something teeth-shattering if I remember...

Part of the joy is being traction-limited.
