Nonethelss, if that is a rendering of the real thing, it looks awesome!!! Based on the front splitter here vs. on the leaked pic, I'm guessing this is the real deal!!!

These were pulled from a hidden link from leftlanenews.com and posted to Jalopnik. My guess is they are the real deal. Also, an interesting quote from the article:
"Now, check out this interior view. Look at the instrument panel at the high end of the tachometer. You'll notice a little "P" in the display. Then, you'll notice that the shifter doesn't resemble the one the in the 7-speed equipped manual cars of the base Corvette. The paddles behind the steering wheel are also marked with just "+" and "-," whereas 7-speed equipped cars have "REV MATCH" printed on them. Is this a sign of the availability of a traditional automatic in the Z06, or is the Corvette actually going to receive some sort of automated manual transmission? There is no trim piece with the "PRND-M" plate like on automatic equipped Stingrays, and there also appears to be a shift patter on the top of the shifter to me. I'm left wondering at this point."
Could it be DCT? Hmmm....

Safety Car
The real pics have to come sometime before Monday, right? Even the C7 pics leaked early and it was arguably more highly anticipated than the Z06 because it was a completely new generation of Corvette. Hoping we see the real deal sometime today.

I don't like the side skirts at all. I wonder if they can be removed.
