Jean Jennings and her boys at Automobile report that the speculated-upon "Super 'Vette" (nee Blue Devil) will use a variation of the Z06's 7.0-liter LS7. The new model may be called the Z07 and will get its extra gumption by way of a bolt-on supercharger. As reported back when spy folks first started spotting the devilish Viper-challenger on various test tracks, the reportedly $100,000 heartland scorcher will be fitted with weight-saving carbon-fiber body panels and an outsized hood scoop large enough to feed that oxygen-hungry mill. We'll likely see it by 2008.
