Nice picture. Looks like some louvers proximal to the headlight assembly. I bet the engineers must had lots of fun putting that hood scoop on there. Looks like something I could do with a sawzall, some Elmer's glue and duct tape.

I'll probably wait till the 3rd year of the SS when they refine it and or update the hardware to make it more reliable.

I was also told they are just borrowing the Z06 body, the SS will look different.

Nice.....I wish I could get my hands on one when productions starts. Although I guess that the Blue Devil/Stingray will never find its way to Europe.....

Not sure of stroke but I believe it will be standard LS2, with a 4.06 Bore. Same as the new L92 aluminum 6.2litre blocks now available from Scoggins Dickey for $1299 bare block. These are the blocks for the new Denali & Escalades which share many parts with LS2's.

Jan of this year already happened. :-) NAIAS of next year is a very unlikely time for the SS to debut. I'll bet it's not until Jan of '08 for an '09 model year.
