09 V rumour thread...get ur 09 rumours here...yeah baby

[LV_V]

I'll be happy with the engine as long as its 500+HP and not a N*. A supercharger would be nice so modding will be less of a headache.

[lawfive]

Headache? Wut headache?

[lawfive]

What? All weekend and no rumors or speculumation?

[StealthV]

OK, I'll play along.

Just like the supercharged Vs we have today there appears to be an intercooler hiding behind the mesh. One of the mules had a camo grille and they were smart to do that to hide stuff like this.

How about this - There are two powerplants coming for the V in a N/A LS7 with a 6L80E paddle-shift auto trans and a S/C LSA with a 6 speed stick.

[The Tony Show]

Nah, I don't see that happening. Way too much investment in R&D necessary to offer two powerplants, plus it would muddy the image of the car not having one particular set of numbers to advertise.

Nice idea, though- and good eyes on the intercooler.

[StealthV]

Remember a while back a year or two ago when there was talk of an uber V with big power? I'm sticking to my twin engine hypothesis.....and the LS7 slushbox gets AWD.

[StealthV]

...and how about that 2-door V eh?

[Kadonny]

^^^^^^^ More realistic to me than 2 powerplants

The 2 door coupe could happen.

yeah something like the Mercedes AMG C-black series. Lighter version coupe with more carbon body work like the Z06 and a stiffer lighter frame.Plus All kinds of other stuff .Inerior treatments like crazy alcantra sport seats and dash.Carbon ceramic brakes. MMMMM something like 600hp 3500lbs ohh my god... Lets call it the VR .UHHHHH ,DONE

[v84life]

Still thinking about it ....Have it come in at about 75k, under cutting the competition and killing it on the track.. This is very possible if the gas thing doesn't kill it first. I want one. Telling GM right now I'm a buyer. What do you guys think? I'm just drooling over the possibility

Still thinking about it. This would be a Z06 4-seater without a doubt How about an Amercan Aston Martin KILLER.... I can think of all kinds of stuff. I'm also taking a 4-door model with hopes 2 years later the VR coupe.

Love it Jimmy....

That would generally fit with what I heard from Deep Throat six months ago...

That would also fit with what Deep Throat said.

Interesting, but I would much rather see it the other way.
NA LS7 w/ Stick & S/C LSA for the Slushomatics.

Unless the LSA is a427. Is it?
