Looks like the caster is a little out.

ZR1 Rendering? Identical to the base car, with a German lower front fascia doesn't sound too realistic to me. The rendering is nice, but it doesn't depict anything really.

Er, camber? Be tough to gauge from the exterior without seeing the suspension cycle or the wheels go lock-to-lock whether or not the caster was off-plane.

I can't see the clear piece on the hood to let me see the SC.

Now you have gone and ruined it for me.
I take it back - I still like it .
I say lets put an AMG package on the C7 why not?
Hell GM broke a number of design rules with the C7 so let continue to think outta box.

Actually, it is caster. Caster is determined by the king pin angle from vertical, fore and aft. Camber, by the angle across the car from top to bottom. When the king pin angle is "leaned back" the tire contact patch trails the steering axis (making the wheels self-center and the car want to go straight). Exaggerating this causes the top of the wheel to appear to arc inward at the top at greater steering angles.
Ever see a top fuel dragster make a sharp turn in the pits? Lots of caster.
