Know what it is, it's that these pictures aren't actual photos like we will see at the reveal in the lights. Having said that, the pictures look really good.

One piece of text up there mentioned "the base car is the fastest ever". That's good.

Brembos are standard... z51 has bigger though. I would say that the new brembos on c7 are slightly smaller or the same as current c6 z06... the z51s will prob be slightly bigger.

HP figures... Can't elaborate

I already received a PM to take it down from a user that joined about 10 minutes ago, no posts and location says Detroit from IP Lookup.

I had to flip the image so that they were facing the same way, it's probably on the other side.

Some people can't "move forward". That is OK, the GS is a nice Corvette.

Pleeeease Geiger, supervettes or anyone in the body parts business make an alternative rear end

. I love everything about the car, especially the front, but the rear is sh*t.
