    He came dancing across the water
    With his galleons and guns
    Looking for the new world
    In that palace in the sun
    On the shore lay Montezuma
    With his cocoa leaves and pearls

    Eh, I forgot they're "renaming" it... And whoever said it before me probably forgot, too. Coupe, GTS... Whatever.

    Not that one it's the HSV GTS a holden

    A 4 door and 2 door coupe We call the GTS it's been around for ever and is a legend here. And now with HSV getting the LS2 they are waiting for something big for the GTS as it must be faster then the LS2 because it cost's a shit load

    yeah, stateside its a bit different...SS means SuperSport...and many Americans would have no idea what you're talking about in regards to Nazis...

    currently all of Chevrolet uses the SS badge for the top trim level of each model:
    Cobalt SS- 205hp 2.0L Supercharged I4
    Malibu SS- 240hp 3.9L V6
    Monte Carlo SS- 303hp 5.3L V8
    Impala SS- 303hp 5.3L V8
    Silverado SS- 345hp 6.0L V8
    TrailBlazer SS- 391hp 6.0L V8

    so you see... they already are using the SS badge alot...
    however i dont think any of these models are exported to europe...
    i suppose if GM were to make a Corvette SS they could always re-name it for the european market

    confirmed by who?
    im inclined to think that it is not just a Z06 mule...
    in the attached picture, how do you explain what those are?
    if they are omething to control the angle of the front splitter, then why does the rest of the car seem to be in final production trim if they are still playing with settings? other possibility could be some sort of duct...either way it just doesnt seem to add up...
    oh and not to mention what Bob Lutz said: “Let’s just say [Corvette chief engineer] Dave Hill is not a guy who likes playing second fiddle to any high-performance car on the road,” said Lutz. “My guess is we’re going to find a way to do something beyond the Z06, that would be at a much higher price point, and which would compete with some of the leading high-performance cars of the world.”

    i dont think that this super-vette is gonna be sold anytime soon, remember, the C5 Z06 didnt come out till 2000, three years after the C5 launch in 97...so maybe 2008?
