Stinking fast Stingray Upon Us

I’ve always had a thing for the Corvette Stingray. While the basic style of the car has never been improved on since the mid-60s (see image above) it appears the fastest Corvette of all time is upon us.

Based on the Corvette Z06, the "Blue Devil" Corvette will add a supercharger to its 7-liter V8 to pump out close to 700 HP. That massive engine will be enshrined in a carbon-fiber based body that brings its weight down to that of Cobalt SS (a passable econobox that handles well) or about 2900 lbs. Apparently the car will sticker at around $100.000.00.

I don’t have 0-60 times but I have heard somewhere under 3 seconds (imagine that.) If this proves the case then the SS or BlueDevil Corvette (whatever they call it) will be the best automotive performance bargain of all time. (Much like the current Corvette Z06.)
