If the info from the leaked article is correct then it looks like you nailed it 8 hours ago. You have an accurate little birdie.

Because they couldn't use the same digital background?

The mirrors and spoiler don't match. If it was one car they would...

Doesn't look horrible... if that's it I doubt many will be complaining about wheel gap too. Looks pretty tight there imo. Glad I rolled over in bed and checked my phone I guess. Goodnight.

Yeah, I understand that... it's just everyone knows 500 was the target magic number, wouldn't that sound better for marketing/advertising.

Agree, they might keep the base there for a couple years then go up like C6 base did.

Still hoping this is just a render, hoping GM pulled a fast one on us a couple hours before the reveal.

The base might be 495 and the Z51 500 like the C7 Z51 was 5hp more.

The production model will probably have a little more gap - but that looks good.

This is looking like a huge win. I love it so far.

500 is a really nice number, but with acceleration numbers like that I don't think people will care too much.

Can't wait to see and hear more. The Z06 is going to be an absolute monster.

You mean the red mirrors and spoiler on the overhead view? They can just be showing the different options. Carbon flash side mirrors and spoiler vs matching color paint.

My only beef are the rims! I don't like them especially the polished aluminum...I hope they have a black rim...preferably single bolt!
