Default The Blue Devil is a GO...........

It will be built and will have 650 HP. It will be shown at the Detroit Auto Show this Jan. It looks like a 2008 model. That is ALL of the info. I have at this time but will share any new info with you.

Oh boy! I predict it will be a Z06 with a hopped-up engine. Who thinks it will have different styling that your grandmother will spot?

If they do make this car I hope it's NA(doubt it)...and i hope they pay a real tribute the Grand Sport name and call it a Grand Sport and leave the lame *** attempt in 1996 in the past. It was blasphemy to call that car a Grand Sport>IMO.

Ford: A beefed up GT - maybe bring it back to the 427.
Dodge: Another viper variant

just my guess

probably going to be that 6.3/6.4 L supercharger engine that has been floating around. HOpefully they won't go cheap on the pistons like they did on the LS7 and forge the hell out of it....
