Default C6 Blue Devil, 666HP, after the z06

Guys,
I have heard rumors of a Corvette C6 called the "Blue Devil" which will come with 666HP as weird as it may seem. http://www.motortrend.com/future/spi...c6/index1.html

Motor Trend also talks about the 6L60-E six speeed auto tranny with column mounted paddle shifting along with a possible touch of wood on the interior trim. I find that hard to beleive. I do like the "upgraded interior" with optional heated seats & brembo brakes. Thanks for sharing.
Ps. I love the new guys from BG posting here.

That would be cool, but GM would be flooded with mail from ultra-religious Fundies.

Yeah, and wouldn't you feel just a little hesitant redlining a beast like that with the mark of SATAN powering you? :reddevil

Ferrari had to fudge some numbers on models going to Asia a few years ago. Seems the sound of the numeral " 4" sounds like the word death there, and dealers there were not happy that motors were rated " 444 HP " for some V12 models , so they changed it to " 448 " or something like that since " 8" , not "7" is their lucky number and" 4+4=8" . :rolleyes:

That would be Japan. "Shi" means four, but "Shi" also means death. It's their unlucky number. :cheers:

That's one of the most stupid suggestions in the C6 section to date.

Blue Devil? :lolg:

Actually, it is not so stupid. Being aware of cultural differences or prejudices is important in marketing. Chevrolet had to change the name of the Chevy Nova when it sold to Latin American countries because "no va" means "doesn't go"...not a great selling point. I am sure no US company will ever be ignorant enough to sell a product with the numbers 666 just because of its Christian-Judeo connotation. :reddevil

What about the Chevy Silverado 454 "The Truck from Hell" commericals they were showing back in the 1990's? I though those were great... :reddevil :reddevil :reddevil :reddevil
