In other GM news: General Motors has accepted the Dodge Viper challenge. According to Chairman Bob Lutz, the new 600 horsepower 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 won't be keeping its title as the king-of-the-road for long once GM releases its Corvette Blue Devil which is said to be the automaker's next generation super sports car.
"As you all know, it is not our policy to discuss future product programs. However.," he said to humor the audience, "it is very important for Corvette to be the most powerful, most capable, best handling sports car in the United States." And of course in order to make the Corvette Blue Devil to become the super sports car it needs quality auto parts, the best that General Motors can produce. Come to think of it, GM has always been a leader when it comes to production of top-of-the-line car parts and an example of which is its line of GM fender flares which are popular for their quality and durability.
Lutz has also acknowledged that the top-level horsepower of GM's Corvette was surpassed by a recent competitor but quickly added "the Corvette vehicle line executive will not take that lying down."
According to Bob Gitzinger, Senior Editor for news at AutoWeek magazine, Chevrolet is developing a Corvette that is known in several names: the Blue Devil, Stingray, Devil Ray or SS. "We all know the new Corvette is out there. The car is in development and it's been speculated that it will have about 650 horsepower.It's supposed to be here in 2009."
