"blue devil" finally gets a name

Myka · 09-05-2007, 12:19 AM

Hi I'm new but have been lurking for a couple weeks. Anyway I was browsing for news on GM vehicles and found this. Kind of interesting, hope it isn't old news!

Very Cool. I remember somewhere on these boards someone predicted it when they saw that GM re-trademarked the name.

TFord · 09-05-2007, 12:25 AM

first off welcome to the boards Myka...great find, so they're bring back the ZR1 badge. 650hp...cant wait to see one

*Mr. Wyndham* · 09-05-2007, 12:26 AM

That's cool. No - not old news, because that MT article was posted today.

great find! "ZR1"...

Myka · 09-05-2007, 12:49 AM

I also thought it was cool that they will keep the zo6 as a "mid level" option.

I was also reading that in April, President Bush signed a new emissions thingy and Bob Lutz was forced to put future RWD cars on hold:(.. he said it was too late to stop the camaro but he wasnt sure about other cars that would have the zeta chassis. You guys know about this? I hope it will be taken care of by direct injection etc.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 09-05-2007, 12:52 AM

That's sort of old news...as of right now, I am told by the lovely folks here

- Zeta is still on track. Lutz retracted his 'pause' statement.

Myka · 09-05-2007, 01:38 AM

That's great news!

P.S I wish my computer wasn't a peice...then maybe I could stay on for more than two minutes

*Mindz* · 09-05-2007, 01:47 AM

So now that the Corvette info has been released, when is GM going to release trim levels so I can get my custom plate ordered and ready to go?

Old news, my @ss!!! That was posted at 8:44pm today (yesterday on the 4th). Well, that's cool. That's a name I hadn't guessed. I know someone else on the boards did. I'll have to look back and find out who. But, I do remember seeing someone mention it. Good call to whomever that was!!!

Urthman · 09-05-2007, 09:47 AM

That's cool. I have to ask...Myka, who is that in your avatar?

MerF · 09-05-2007, 10:26 AM

Kinda looks like a younger, hotter Angelina Jolie, doesn't it?

Awesome find about the Vette! Way to get your feet wet on the boards!

Myka · 09-05-2007, 05:24 PM

honestly I dont know who she is. I found her on bikinibabes.com. I just thought she was one of the most beautiful girls I had ever seen.
