Holy surprise, Batman! GM bit the bullet and confirmed those 2008 Corvette ZR1 numbers for us. As we expected, the supercharged V8 will be putting down 620 hp and 595 lb.ft. of torque.

We guess we'll be seeing it much earlier than expected. Maybe "Maximum" Bob Lutz was just having a senior moment of some kind. Our sources also indicate it'll have a drastically different look than anything else out of Australia with a truck bed -- including the Holden Crewman ute up top. But it's not just the looks that'll be different. We're told the form factor will be an entirely unibody design -- not just the weird-ass unibody front end with a half-chassis welded on to the back like the Crewman. A true car-based pickup truck. The mere thought's causing our pants to start to tighten. We mean, is this GMC an xtremely interesting development or what? Come on, is this seriously the new GMC -- Caballero ? We can only hope. But one thing's...
