Interesting pics, including the steering wheel controls and 220+ speedo.

Looks good. I wonder if any of the body parts will bolt on the standard C6. I like the brakes.

Did ya notice the 3LZ interior in black/titanium? Makes you wonder why they didn't do that from the beginning.

Personally, I wish they just would have up-leveled the Z06 and called it a day. I think the new hood is ugly, though the brakes and wheels/tires, carbon fiber & suspension are nice.

Nicely done!

What are the buttons on the LEFT steering wheel spoke??? Looks like some kind of menuing controls, but for what?

Are those Michelin tires run-flats?

I'm surprised not to see GY rubber on those rims.

And, the Magnetic Selective Ride Control is fitted. According to the report it sounds like it is standard equipment.

I'm guessing it has something to do with bluetooth...

Notice how the boost gauge replaced the volts gauge.

I just cant get too excited about this car - Why they did not go N/A is a mystery to me , slap a blower on a C4 and its stupid fast . I also fail to see why this is going to be a 100k + car . With all that said , its cool that GM is making a true world beater right out of the factory

(as long as it doesnt heat soak ... )

They are probably for the standard blue tooth integration that was mentioned in the article - wonder if I will be able to upgrade........ I don't like the hood, but the rest is good!
