Corvette SS

[Guest]

So you thought the Z06 was fast? GM has confirmed a mid-engined, DOHC, supercharged Corvette SS. Heres a little article with some pictures. The car pictured is a c6 Z06 test mule with the new motor. http://www.digitalcorvettes.com/foru...ad.php?t=63503. Enjoy.

i tend to agree with this vette guy

I'm not overly impressed by it...besides, once you add the "market adjustment" to the proposed $100,000 sticker, you're looking at somewhere in the $130,000 range. Which, if GM continues to use the cheap plastic interior and non supportive crappy seats, it's a total ripoff. You can get a C6 to 650 HP and have a ton of money left over. Hardly a working man's car.

I guess we will just have to wait and see everything it has to offer. The Z06 just barely missed supercar status I think. Don't get me wrong its my dream car but I cant put it at supercar level with lambos and such. I think GM is really taking advantage of the z06's fame and they are gonna go all out with this one. I really wouldn't be surprised if we saw something with ferrari styling/interior and porsche performance.

missed supercar status? a z06 is fast and sporty; that's all good. but the ergonomics blow (i mean we're making ferrari look good here), and they are too common to be considered super.

Both key points to why the Vette will never reach supercar status. I just about creamed my pants when I saw the new performance numbers for the current z06, but after some time it really just doesnt seem all that awesome when a redneck down the road thinks hes an equal with you cause he drives a mid 80's shitbox vette. The janitor at my school drives a vette. That really killed the dream for me.

I'll believe it when I see it. I seriously doubt GM would take a stock Z06, drop a motor in it and call it a "SS" model. It has stock Z06 badges on it for Christ sake. Plus, if it was so secretive, they would have had it camouflaged. While I do believe they are making a super-fast version, I don't think that is it.

That is just plain scary.

Did anyone hear that hell had frozen over?









































holmes actually posted a thread that is not totally a waste of time.

Remember he didnt like school. He skipped out on graduation to go to a car meet for a car he doesnt own. Mustve had an effect on his studies as well.

I agree 100%. I think GM is going for a different market with the new SS though.
