Super SS Corvette

Don't let anybody tell you the soon-to-be-unleased 650 hp Corvette, much rumored about, gossiped about, blogged about and spy photograph-captured, going to be called the Blue Devil. I have it on very good authority that the Blue Devil nickname was in deference to Lutz's Duke background, nothing permanent intended. You can read my scoopage from February here.

Now, Car & Driver has official-acknowledgement-sounding updates! Read all about it: 2009 Corvette Blue Devil Confirmed.

Meanwhile, this summer will find your friend Trouble in Virginia for a high speed performance driving course, courtesy Corvette. Oh, Hell yes! And I do know a guy who has the "2009" Corvette SS on order, to be delivered shortly. Will I drive it? Indeed. Will I report on it for you? Absotively, Posolutely.
