<p>Word has sprung up on the internet that GM is working on a Corvette SS to end all Corvettes. The site <a href="http://www.digitalcorvettes.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=45423">DigitalCorvettes.com</a> has a post by a guy named Patrick in which he lays out what little details are known so far. According to Patrick the project<br />
is definitely a go but very early on in development. The SS Vette will get a ?charged? LS9 motor that will not be used<br />
in any other brand?s vehicles. Despite being smaller in displacement than the Z06?s LS7, this engine will produce well<br />
over 600 hp. It will be produced in limited numbers though that won?t happen for a ?very very? long time. This is not<br />
the long fabled ?blue devil? vette, but it will take the mantle of top dog away from the Z06.</p>
<p>Of course, Patrick also doesn?t put it past GM to leak this information intentionally. Perhaps a little rallying cry<br />
for the troops when the chips are down? For everyone?s sake, we hope it?s real.</p>
