LUKEKAAS TAA TARINA!!!

Quote:
OMG!!!

Sit down before reading this. It could be life changing....

An old friend of mine who is a GM Powertrain Tech in Warren, MI called me out of the blue today (4pm AZ time). I haven't talked to him since our daughter was born this past July. Anyway, he said he just found out they got their budget to do beta development on the "C7's" powertrain. I said , C7? You guys haven't started selling C6's yet!

He say's all this talk of the "Blue Devil" C6 is misinformation meant to keep the journalists at bay. He says there won't be a "Blue Devil" version of the C6. He said that there will be a Z06 or Z07 (as yet undetermined) version of C6 that will be a 2006 model. It will make 50-75 more HP than the C6's LS2.

Here's where it gets interesting:

He says the "C7" will be out, possibly in 07, more likely in 08, and that GM will sell BOTH platforms concurrently.

Both cars will carry the Corvette badge, but each will be significantly different in design, layout, and capability.

Are you sitting down?

He says the C7 is MID-ENGINED. The chassis is coming from the Cadillac Cien concept car, and the price tag WILL be north of 100 grand. They are targetting the Lamborghini Murcielago as the performance benchmark. I asked about the engine layout (OHC, multi valve, aspiration), but he wouldn't tell me. He just said I'd love it.

Like I said, take it with a grain of salt, but this is the same guy who told me in July that the C6 had exposed headlights, an open cowl, and that the interior looked like a reworked C5's.
I trust him. I'm gonna FREAK if he turns out right again.

Of course I will continue badgering the hell out of him to keep leaking info. And no, none of you can know his name. I don't want to lose him his job.

My sources tell me the following:

The C7 will be a very expensive $100,000 version of the Z06.

Engine code LTT
7.5 liter 12 cylinder Twin Turbo LTT motor
650 HP output.
Carbon Fiber body parts.
Dry Sump
Aluminum Frame
2800 lbs.
Titanium engine parts
Three valve/cyl heads as seen on the 2006 Z06 7.0 liter V8 below


Eli aika hyvissa vaiheessa on taas tietoa vuotanut eteen pain!



Eli ilmeisesti pohjautuu Caddilacin Cien malliin! Huomatkaa kone: V12 Kahdella turbolla!

Tassa luonnos milta se supervette nayttais:

Johan ne XLR:n ja C5/6 samassa tehtaassa, miksei myos taa onnistuis!

Oudoksun vain tuota ajatusta että Corvettesta olisi kaksi erilaista konseptia tuotannossa, onhan se mukava et vette pysyy malliston yläpäässä, mutta kuitenkin
Taisi tulla pojille kiire suunnitteleen kilpailijaa sille Chryslerin super autolle

Olen samaa mieltä... Ja tosiaan tuo Kraisun superautokin on varmaan saanut lisää pontta GM:lle...
