they talk like it will be twincharged but the sts-v isnt twincharged, just supercharged ???

more than likely it will be a SC L92 pushing 660-680hp, is my guess

This is from an article in playboy:

"OKay, what you see here is the Corvette Z06. But a next-gen Vette is in the works. Fact is, Dodge will soon unleash a 600bhp Viper, and that changes everything. Our spies tell us a seven-liter supercharged 650bhp Z07 Corvette is on tap for 2009, with killer suspension, racing brakes and more. To cool itself, the big bruiser will have a wide scoop on the hood, discreet louvers placed low on the front fenders and slotted rear air scoops for the brakes. Figure on a three-second 0-60 time and a 200-plus mph top whack. The Z06 is a sick bargain at about $70k, but the Z07 is expected to break the $100k mark, a first for a corvette. Insiders say if demand warrants, Chevy will build 2,000 examples next year. The working name is Blue Devil. We're betting on a future classic."

They also had an article on another gt500KR in the works. Only 1000 to be made.

I used that link because it was a quick find.
Here's a better article from Car and Driver, but they call it a Stingray.
