In the year 2012 ...

How much HP will the base Corvette have?

Will there be a Z06 model?

Will the 2012 Corvette use gasoline as the only fuel?

How much will a used 2007 Z06 cost in 2012?

I don't want to work today, and my boss is a jerk.

The Mayan calendar ends in the year 2012 and the world is suppose to come to and end, or at least have a major apocalypse.

So I wouldn't worry about it.

The flux capacitor will be inducted into the automotive hall of fame and we'll have the fission first force field powerplant. Of course, mine will be faster.

Al Gore is working on an internal combustion engine that runs on bullshit. I figure that since the dems are gaining control of congress there will plenty of it to satisfy our needs.

How much HP will the base Corvette have?

In 2012, the base Corvette will have 180 hp and be renamed the Camry II.

Will there be a Z06 model?

No. After futile attempts to solve the flying roof problem, GM engineers admit to being “stumped”. The setback costs GM billions and ultimately is deemed insolvable.

Will the 2012 Corvette use gasoline as the only fuel?

Yes. The bad news is that drilling for oil in Alaska has decimated the once beautiful frontier. The good news is that a gallon of gasoline costs $0.79 and you get a free baby seal skin IPOD cover will every fill-up.

How much will a used 2007 Z06 cost in 2012?

In the year 2012, used 2007 Z06’s are considered classics and appreciate in value to well over $150,000.










I don't want to work today, and my boss is a jerk.

Ok by me.

I think HP will eventually level off. Highway safety might step in and say "X" amount is enough from the factory. God knows I get into enough trouble with a stock C5Z.

No Z model b/c GM will run a good thing into the ground like usual or replace it with something the sounds really dumb like the "Camaro Berlinetta".

Probably have multi-fuel options

Cost will most likely be a hell of a lot more then a Z now if they keep going the supercar route.

I bet no "Alternate Fuel".

I'm thinking the Blue Devil will probably be the highest HP we see for a while.

700 + HP and we're starting to get pretty dangerous if not on a track.
