Real pics of the Corvette SS/Blue Devil
http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/21/d...-ss-blue-devil
well here we go again. These do look alot more realistic then the others, so perhaps it is true. 
Because RC is, well RC, I took the pictures down, its not worth fighting him about something that will never happen. I forgot that RC was an expert lawyer... Being that there is nothing illegal about posting pictures of a freakin car, but obviously RC is right and I and my law student friends are wrong, I am removing the pictures. I'm taking a few others advices and just doing what RC says as to avoid dealing with his stuff for the rest of my life. Mostly, I just dont want to get Jabba into any sort of trouble or have him put on GMs radar, as I have nothing but respect for him and his forum.
HOLY SCHNIKES!
Here are millions of dollars of development and thousands of hours of work laid bare for us to ogle. This Corvette caught by Fast-Autos.net forum member, Chikara83, definitely has some trick bits on it and apparently it's the real deal. There's a liquid/liquid intercooler perched atop the V8, and where the alternator used to be sits a supercharger. We can't tell what type of huffer it is, though -- positive displacement Roots-type or centrifugal.
The hood and front quarters are wearing camouflage to cover changes in those panels. The low-pressure area behind the front wheels makes the perfect location for extractors, which are likely fed by the high pressure area at the base of the windshield. Together they provide a good path through the engine bay for extra cooling air. That's a nice, tidy explanation for why the camo is where it is, too, so we're going with it. There's also a vent in the leading edge of the rear quarter panel, which we presume is for rear brake cooling. The burning question that everyone wants to know has finally been answered: the interior (of the mule, at least) is still kinda cheap. We are gonna be so embarassed if this is Winding Road messing with us again.
Many thanks to tipster Chris.

You have no 'rights' its a private forum - you have privilege to post - period.
Notice how you never directly address your spineless cowardice.

Oh man, this keeps getting better!
http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/22/s...rvette-ss-pic/
We've just learned that EMO TRANS, the shipping company that was hired by General Motors to transport a Corvette SS mule to Germany for testing on the Nurburgring, has fired the employee who took pictures of the vehicle and posted them on the internet. In addition, the unnamed employee has been taken to jail, though we don't know what charges have been filed against him. For our part, we've removed the pics from Autoblog for fear of GM's wrath. The automaker has been reportedly approaching various sites all day requesting the images be removed, so rather than waiting for the phone to ring we've gone ahead and taken them down.
This clearly illustrates how seriously GM is taking the development of the Corvette SS, as well as how utterly embarrased and apologetic EMO TRANS must be for the actions of its employee. It's all fun and games on our side of the fence because we got to see some real, informative shots of this very special Vette, but it reminds us that there's a lot of money on the line. We're sure that GM didn't appreciate pics of this powerplant were available for every other automaker to peruse. Lesson learned, though harder for some than others.
We'll keep you updates as more concrete and verifiable info becomes available.

Guess it was real

Now you may understand why I feel the way I do about everso - he leaked the GM pics of the C6 Z06 then stood back while I had to fend off GM and their goonsquad... and i did nothing wrong... and didn't turn him over and never got so much as an aknowledgemtn of thanks for saving his career.
Some how I should imagine ex-con medical interns find it hard to get hired.
This guy actually took images and posted them and now may be in jail.
The bottomline - don't fuck with GM - I luckily have some friends in influential spots that helped me keep head above water... this guy may be in for a world of hurt if the shipping company signed a non-disclosure that included all their employees.
