Corvette Blue Devil project reportedly now called Sting Ray; team effort for Dodge Hornet

Maybe this is why the folks at General Motors can slyly smile and plausibly deny a super-powered Corvette Blue Devil is in the works. We hear Blue Devil (allegedly chosen to get the attention of GM CEO and Duke grad Rick Wagoner) is no longer the working name of the car but has been replaced by the more Corvette-centric Sting Ray moniker. Production of the $100,000 Blue, er, Sting Ray, with a supercharged 7.0-liter 600-hp V8 under its carbon fiber hood, could come as early as 2007.

A regular Vette has plenty of power and gets good mileage to boot.

I wouldn't be interested in a Devil Ray even if I could afford it (which I can't).

Where did the Dodge Hornet come from? A Corvette is a GM product?? Is it a person's name or a mistake?

Hornet’s nest
On paper, DaimlerChrysler and Mitsubishi have gone their separate ways, but that doesn’t mean an end to all future sharing. We hear DaimlerChrysler, Mitsubishi and Volkswagen will likely team up to engineer the small-car underpinnings for a European B-class car (think Nissan Versa, Mini Cooper) that will eventually hit markets around the world. That car? Our Editors’ Choice Best Concept from the Geneva show in March, the Dodge Hornet (“Swiss Spotlight,” March 13).
