More to the teaser pic exposed!!! Whoa...is this a completely redesigned bulging front end??? Clearly...we got something going on here with that front bumper or bumper extension that ties into the plastic around the wheel well lips.

Wonder if it will have plastered on Fangs? Please GM, charge a few extra bucks and incorporate them in smoothly...no Zits.

More pics of the half skirt used by GM.

This was the Grand Turismo C7 displayed at SEMA at Chevrolet Performance Booth.

I immediately thought of that detail I noticed on the lower half of the front of the front wheel well on the 2014 GT3:

That is a LOT of plastic up there if that's what the material is. From that angle, I'm starting to get a sinking feeling.

I might have to book a flight and run up there on the 13th to check it out in person.

Good example. Definitely could be the front splitter that ties into the plastic fender flare. Awfully big on the front side though...should look good I'd say.

These are the comments I just don't understand. There is no denying that the LS7 has had more than it's fair share of issues, and are prone to engine failure. There is also no denying that these engine failures are starting to pop up on the 2013 models with the LS7; so why attack him?

All of the evidence seams to point to the fact that the LS7 has not been fixed and that it's issues continue; so I am not understanding why he is a "troll"...

It was leaked well before the c7 base was released...

http://www.thedetroitbureau.com/wp-c...ering-side.jpg

In fact... the original Jalopnik C7 Renderings from 2011, which they claimed was a "zr1" trim appears to share the z06 body work, to include the plastic wheel arch piece in the front that integrates into the front splitter.

The front wheel well flare looks more pronounced like the one on the transformer C7. I like the half side skirt since it first appear on the SEMA show. The Z06 will definitely be a lot more aggressive than the base. Keep it coming!

Really? I haven't heard that. It appears in 2011 GM fixed the valve guide issues, if this is what your referring too. Unless there something else
