After all that is what the original ZR-1 was.

Just my opinion.

Well, that's an opinion that others have, too.

All I can say is Tom Wallace, the Corvette Chief Engineer, has already been on-record in public that the name is "Corvette SS". He said that in a discussion he had with Corvette owners at the Utah ALMS race last summer.

Now, it's always possible that GM might change it's mind, but I kinda doubt it as "SS" is intended as a sort of "Chevrolet-wide" brand for performance models.
