The fenders aren't the same as the cove/vent is larger than the base car. They just designed the fender to meet up with the stock front bumper to use the same part across all C7s. I'm betting the Z06 has the same front bumper but with a unique grill and the splitter/flare treatment.

The close up of that tire shows its a 285/30-19. Same Sport Cup ZP sizes used on the later Z06s and ZR1s.

It also looks as though that front splitter with the boxed corners doesn't tie into that little fender flare that comes up to the wheel lip at about the 2:00 oclock position. 2 separate pieces...

The cove/vent is also more vertical than a Stiingray's

A photo of a Z06 grille next to an upside down Stingray grille was leaked a few months ago. From all appearances the opening was the same

I blew it up 400% and you can make it out as it is cut in the traingle design just before it says "Pilot Sport" at the 5:00 oclock position.

I was wondering if anyone could 'read' the tire size' on the tire?

Whoops... ok... 285/30/19 got it.

Thanks,
Dave

And that's the front tire. Guess the rear should be, what, 315?

I bet it will be the same as the C6 ZR1/Z07 which is 335/25.

Yep...because Sport Cup ZPs only come in those front and rear sizes.

That pronounced front splitter reminds me of the C7 Stingray featured in Transformers 4

Things that make you go Hmmm....





Thanks again,

I agree, and mentioned it in post #9.

Will be interesting to see how that actually looks. First thing so far on appearance that has given me pause.

That's exactly what it says. I can see it very clearly.
