At about 0:31 of that video, the car that goes by in the background on the other side of the guard rail sure looks like it has round tail lights........................

I like what I am seeing with the A piller. Looks much slimmer than my C5 or 6.



Also looks like the suspension will be an evolution of the C5/6 as well.

I did say it in Post # 20.
Either she can see it on her own, or no use convincing her. Personally, I don't believe in convincing anyone to anything. Either you get it on your own or you don't have what it takes to get it. Just the way it is...

So, they clearly show two front & back shots of the Sparco's...will they be an optional seat...or were those just the seats they used during testing? I only ask b/c they obviously showed them on purpose, & there's nothing in these vids that's not done on purpose...

Anyone else see that old-school clock/chrono mounted on the dash as well?

I spotted that as well but I thought it may have been some some sort of telemetry unit used for testing.

Pay very close attention to the first sentence in the video.

"This car is a new level of electronic integration"

I'll let you decide for yourself if you think this is good or bad.

I think that digital tach looks pretty slick as well... looks similar to what SRT put on the new viper - which, in my opinion, has a pretty bad *** looking gauge cluster..

Here's a screen shot from the video, its the image that shows up in the tach/vehicle diagnostic screen. Not sure what to make of the tail lights. It actually looks like a c6

Here are other shots. They go by soooo fast!

Tires



Wheels



Dash



Dash 2





They show the tach going to 6500 RPM's could not tell if that was the redline.

Yes indeed, I think we might be getting a dash similar to the caddy infotainment setup, but with more performance specs in it.

I also find it interesting when you seen an icon of the car in the center of the tach, and ALL wheels were glowing as if they are drive wheels... On any cars with FWD and/or RWD with a lcd screen onboard showed the drive wheels highlighted like that. Hmmmm I know I am gonna get bashed for thinking this but what the heck, just something to ponder!

Tach is 0 so the engine is not running. That's why there is 0 oil pressure. Also, the car is powered up to show the dash for the photo shoot, so the battery is being drained.

Did anyone notice at 0.08 that the "window" that it's supposed to have is non-existant? It looks like a panel...
