Sneaky shot of the new 2009 Corvette SS supercharged sports coupe
Here is a sneaky shot of the new 2009 Corvette SS which is a supercharged version of the sports coupe, what most people are looking forward too about this car is the fact that the power has been increased to 600hp plus. Although these spyshots look a lot like the standard Corvette there are a number of changes to the 2009 Corvette SS that makes it very different.

The thing is a number of important changes had to be made to the standard Corvette so that this sportier version can hit the 200mph plus mark. Firstly it looks as though there is a bulge on the hood, which would be there to provide extra room for the supercharger. Under the hood we have the 6.2-liter V8 engine; also it looks as though the hood and also the roof could be made from Carbon Fiber not only is it stronger it is also much lighter.

You will notice a little aero flip at the rear of the 2009 Corvette SS, this is not for show as you know when you are travelling at speed you need a nice bit of downforce to keep your car stuck firmly to the ground. It also look like French tire maker Michelin one the contract over Goodyear to suppler the extra wide tires for the car.
