Super Vette?!?!

Probably gonna be a limited production vette? But this is just a rumor and the first i've heard of it. But....it would be cool to see chevy go after the Worlds Fastest Production car honors :)

I've also heard the supervette rumor. Somewhere along the lines of the cts-v plus. It's supposed to be a carbon fiber paneled 700+hp ZO6 beast, but I'll believe it when i see it.

Rumors have been around for a while about a "supervette" (also called the "blue devil"). It is said to be a mid engined beast.

You mean the one that caught fire. LOL

Sorry...but it remains to be seen first. I highly doubt it will blow the doors off the ME Four Twelve. Nice try though.

You mean the ME-412 that will more than likely never see production? :eyes: The Blue Devil has a higher percentage shot at making it to showrooms than a Chrysler Supercar n00b. Quit trolling please, and call me when Chrysler bolts a transmission to the Hemi that doesn't require a torque converter. :jest:

Yea....with how most car companies are competitive with each other. There is no doubt that that GM would build something that fast. I would love to see it produced in limited numbers like the Ford GT

so is it supposed to be around the 100g price tag or more

b/c chevy could bump the price up near 150g's and i don't think anyone would care b/c it would be competitive with the GT's price.

If the Ford GT was a hopped up Mustang I wouldn't consider it half the car despite it's performance. But because it's a different car entirely it suddenly is more "worth" the money.
