How much is GM thinking about charging for the C7 if 505 is the starting hp number?

Is the lifetime supply of tires included? My favorite thing about the Blue Devil so far is that it might drive down Z06 prices.

I hardly consider myself a Porsche/Audi/VW road car fan. I am in the cult of the R8 and Speed 8 though, so I do have some loyalty to the Audi R10 prototype program.

I'm not well versed on the rules for the prototypes in the Le Mans cars, but why would Audi need to pay off people to tweak the rules when the old R8 and its Bentley twin, Speed 8, was so dominant after 1999 when all the prototype marquees switched over to F1? I never saw Audi's program as...

I already wrote about making a Corvette brand with different sports cars, but that idea looks to be unpopular . And just calling the car "Chevrolet Corvette MR" or sometinhg like that is even more unpopular, but why not just use a different name? GM can make a six-figure mid-engine car and...

Between V6 "Stingray" rumors, 600hp supercharged Blue Devil rumors, AWD Corvette rumors, and mid-engined Corvette rumors (again)- it looks like GM is thinking about a lot of different stuff for the C7/8. The main question in all these rumors isn't whether or not these "Corvette" iterations...

firstgear- you are absolutely correct. He should have told you he would charge your card up front, or put it on an order form or preorder email or something like that. The guy's reply was also very unprofessional: "I was on vacation", "I have such low prices that I don't even make any money"...

I thought the Corvette in 2006 had the (MX0) six-speed auto with paddle shifters, instead of the old four speed version?

Maybe a 600hp C6 'Blue Devil' will make it so Z06s start being sold at MSRP.

Sky65- Awesome looking car. Everyone else too.

I would like it the official final name to be something like Zr-1, Grand Sport, Z06R, or maybe Corvette SS. "Blue Devil" doesn't have the reputation to me that those other names would have. Also would a yellow one be called "Yellow Devil" or still "Blue Devil"? Or maybe they would only offer...

Don't call it "Blue Devil".

I miss NASCAR not using templates, and Pontiac being a manufacturer, and races at Darlington, and Toyota not being the richest auto company in the world. :cry I wish ALMS would have more races.

Unlike some of the prices I saw at that auction, I actually thought the 003 Corvette was a bit undervalued when the hammer fell.

I wonder what kind of gas mileage that thing gets? It looks like this was one of the 6,853 from 1979 with a rear spoiler, does that make it rare? I'm sure that because it was in the record breaking smash-hit "Mystery Men" it will go for well over its "buy-it-now price."
