Just like last time, the two Facebook pics that were just released, the closeup of the driver with his helmet on, and the blurry shot of the C7 on the racetrack, will what the video will be about.
Show us absolutely nothing. We might get a good listen to the exhaust, though.
This pic had the caption "A road is all you need..." Yeah, and maybe a higher shutter setting on your camera!

I think there's no question we can plan to see a mili-second glimpse on the track. The give away is the recent facebook pic and the grayed out frame under the play button with 'calibration'. I predict no real meat on the bone official viewing until January. GM's playing their cards real close on this one.

If you blink real fast you can tell that it has AWD, 500 HP, NanoSteel frame and is a 2+2 with seats that will hold you in place at 1.6g's.

I also noticed the solid fixed roof construction and the front license plate holder.

There's a much better shot of the car in that game just released.There's a video in the 3 threads on it.You can see the hood scoops up front and stuff like that!! It's GM sponsored so I'm pretty sure it's the real deal! here.

This is like watching Geraldo Rivera's Al Capone Vault special in installments.
