Mein Vette Ausgabe 12/06 lag heute im Briefkasten und da steht:
"Rumors continue to fly about a $ 100.000 "Super corvette" under consideration by GM. While such a model would represent the next logical step in the evolution of the brand, the General's ongoing fiscal woes and a rumored personnel shake-up at the highest level of management mean the project is far from a sure thing.
The most recent scuttlebutt has the car being called the "Sting Ray", rather than "SS" or "Blue Devil", as previously suggested. If given the green light, the new Ray could hit dealer showrooms in very limited numbers before 2007 model year is over. Packing a supercharged 427ci V-8-dubbed the LS9-and extensive carbon fiber, the car would pruduce a minimum of 600 hp and weigh just 2900 pounds. The LS9 would place a blower compressor down low in the lifter valley, with the blower drive snout just ahead of the frontmounted throttle body. air would flow upward to an air-to-water intercooler and then back into the intake ports, an arrangement somewhat akin to the one used on Cadillac's supercharged Northstar engines. Pruduction would be limited tp 500 units."
