Thats neat... but that scoop not only looks like it was a jegs special that was glued on there, but it looks gay.

And is it just me... or does that look a little photochopped?

Yeah different bits of information has been coming out about it. I can't wait to see if they actually come out with it and if they do what the final price and power will be.

It's a roots style blower. There's pictures of it across the internet and I think GMHTP even had pictures of the motor.

i dont know...i kinda doubt they would actually do it. corvette has never been with the usual trend of chevy. why would they slap an SS badge on it? it sounds stupid to me.

and yes the scoop looks chopped, and really crappy with the front ZO6 scoop.

WHat looks photoshopped about it?

Not really my style, but its still a vette, and Id still rock it. Im sure the scoop is just prototype... Theyll come out with somthing that flows better.

Click on the link under it saying "Super Vette Spied!"

The 2nd picture down the wheels look chopped, just a little fuzzy and the colour is slightly off.

The 3rd one the rear end looks odd, but I think thats just because of the exhaust heat.
