This is fantastic really. Nice to see it in motion, and hear a little bit of the exhaust. If that was a base model, then the exhaust sounds more aggressive than the current base model. And OMG! LED taillights! It's about dang time!
Now back to the waiting game...

Don't get too excited about those taillights. They are likely temporary units. Review the Camaro development history and note that the headlights and taillights were just cribbed together units until very late in the process.
Those headlight pods (beneath the covers) probably aren't final either.

Wtf? A C6 shrouded in black camo wrap would look pretty much the same. A bit mundane after all that's been said about major changes and global appeal. I guess they must have been talking about those radical LED tail lights.
Wow.
Wow.

looks like they dropped both the pbr floating calipers and the pbr monoblocks that the gs and z06 use. The front calipers look a lot like brembo gt 6 piston and the rears look like the gt 4 piston.

All, what do you think a Corvette spokesman (assuming this was an official quote and not an internet rumor echoing) means by "global appeal"? Seems like pretty generic marketing spin.
Corvette already has world-class performance. Under all that camo it does appear to be very C6-like. The Euro media seems to bang the C6 for substandard interior feel ("too much plastic" "rental car ***** & switches") and squishy plastic bumpers. Is there something else?

I'm still not convinced we're seeing the real deal here though. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Damn, that thing sure look stretched out/long with a really long wheelbase.
Can't really tell for sure with all of that camouflage of course but still, I like my sports cars smaller sort of like the C2s/early C4s/C6s, not big/long like the C3s.

i would not be supprised if that bodywork was not the final production build, they were just testing the running gear, in the cold they can test the body in a cold test chamber ???

Couldn't agree more, the c6 already has a long look any longer and narrower will look weird. Hence why I love my slammed c5 z06, although a Slammed c6z just looks jaw dropping.
