Is this the next STINGRAY? You vette.

This corvette spotted somewhere in Michigan is believed by rumors to be the next supervette
that so many people & magazines have talk about recently. Note the hood scoop and much lower suspension on this photo. Some articles on magazines are saying that it will be supercharged using a 6.2 V8 with approx 650 horsepower under that carbon fiber hood. It will possibly weight a lot less than the already amazing ZO6 that is if they used more carbon fiber and other lightweight components around this car. Just now on the NORTH AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW in Detroit Daimler - Chrysler announced 600 horsepower on the new DodgeViper srt/10 coupe along with other modifications on the body and interior , so I guess the battle for big horsepower continues between these two modern premier American sport cars . Lets see if GM makes this one into production. The price? Well around $100,000 which I think is reasonable. You find a sport car with the capacity to make 600 plus HP and the acceleration of 3.4 seconds from 0 to 60 MPH to be expected on this car for 100 grand in the market... there simply is none. Sport cars now-a-days with this amount of power under the hood cost a lot more than 100 grand which makes this supervette a favorite for car guys everywhere . Watch out Ferrari , Lambo and Porsche the Americans are coming......the Stingray is back in 09'.
