GM's bigger, badder Corvette to launch in 2009
It is expected that in addition to a 95 horsepower boost over the current Z06 model, the limited-edition car will feature styling changes and a near-$100,000 price tag, although pricing has not yet been confirmed. General Motors Vice Chairman Bob Lutz has been in support of a more powerful Corvette since Chrysler debuted its 600 horsepower 2008 Dodge Viper at Detroit earlier this year.
"There is a distinct appetite for something beyond the Z06 in performance, beyond the Z06 in exclusivity and beyond the Z06 in price," Lutz is reported to have said last week.
