05 Vette Raped My Tbird....

[TatII]

the only reason why i don't like the looks of the C6 z06 compared to the C5 Z06 is because its still a hatch back!!! the C5 Z06 was a coupe and that looked alot more menancing. i hate the hatch back vettes.

[-The Stig-]

It doesn't look much different from a C5 Z06... doesn't have that "Dont fuck with me" look to it.

I'd still drive it though... hehe

That is a real picture though, alot of the design specs of the new z06 have already been splattered throughout most car magazines.

Oh btw, 11.7 stock. Yum...

you can still see the Z06 badge, but that ain't no C5.

Awesome part is.....
This isn't even the 'supercar' Corvette you mentioned. The 'Blue Devil' is said to be that.

THE 2005 C6 CORVETTE hasn’t even been officially introduced, but the Corvette development team is already hard at work on future, high-performance variants, including a wild 600-plus horsepower Ford GT-fighter known internally as “Blue Devil.”

While chief engineer Dave Hill has publicly announced the Z06 version of the next-gen Vette due in 2005 will have 500 hp, his engine team wasn’t sure until recently that they could actually achieve that impressive figure. Sources now say that it will be a case of “nothing beats cubic inches” with 95 extra horses (compared to today’s 405-hp Z06) coming as a result of boring and stroking the next-gen Chevy small-block V8 to 427 cubic inches—7.0 liters. Not since the late-1960s has that magic number of cubes been under a Corvette’s composite hood (though there were some 454s along the way).

More important, Chevy is clearly investigating an ultra-performance Corvette designed to do battle with—and conquer—the mid-engined GT from rival Ford, as well as many supercars from across the pond. Called Blue Devil (no one knows why it has that name—could it be Chevy hopes to bedevil Ford’s blue oval?), unofficial stats make the name seem appropriate. Reportedly producing 625 hp, Blue Devil’s initial power will come from a supercharged 427 engine—and it will use lightweight carbon fiber for key body parts, reducing weight by several hundred pounds to drop the super C6 to about 2900 pounds.

The price indicated on the internal documents is $100,000 for Blue Devil, if and when it actually makes production in 2006—at the earliest. We wonder whether the Devil’s chances of seeing light are further improved following product czar Bob Lutz’s comments that he’d like to see a Chevy-badged car like the 2002 Cadillac Cien concept.

General Motors officials aren’t connecting the dots and saying this is a “go,” but the high-performance heart of Blue Devil is the kind of specialized, high-content engine project envisioned for the General’s new Performance Build Center set to open shop next year in Wixom, Michigan. The center is intended to attack projects with “a sort of race team mentality,” says Ed Koerner, vice president of GM Powertrain engineering operations.

Patterned after low-volume race shops, the center could build up to 10,000 powerplants per year for very specific, high-end, high-performance GM vehicles. Koerner says engines from the shop should appear in showroom vehicles by 2005.

uhhhh all I gotta say is they better build it....

[SpeedDemon101]

the 06' z06 is pretty sweet. you can read about it on chevys web site. i cant wait to see one on the street. gotta wait til fall though

[PWRDbyUNCLEbens]

It's wishful thinking to believe that the blue devil will ever be realeased although it would be VERY cool to see it. I like the new looks of the z06 but I still think they ripped off the srt/10 IMO. It's probably just me being a viper nazi but the hood scoop even more so the side of teh new Z06 is very srt reminiscant (sp?)
