Very cool shot of a truckload of pre production C7's rambling down the road. I would assume going to the Proving Grounds for testing.

We love you, Mike, but you're obviously just a poster, and not a
forum reader. You get a pass though!

Why would they be taken out of the way, to Ohio, when Indianapolis is directly up I-65 from Bowling Green?

How come that "road" has the center stripe cut up into little pieces and laid perpendicular to the "road? Who in their right mind builds a building in the middle of a "road"? Hope that transporter has good brakes as it looks like some idiot pulled right out into his path, just inches in front of the semi's front bumper..

Hadn't thought of that. And Ohio is just north of Indy isn't it? Are you aware of a place up there that does that kind of work or would that be a convenient way to get elsewhere (say Detroit) for that kind of work?

They don't have engines in them. They will be towed around the track by the Camaro's.

Mike should have known that
