Default Camo C8 8/7/19?

I was driving up I-94 outside of Detroit yesterday and saw this, a C8 in Camo but the reveal was a couple weeks ago. C8 Z06?

Hardtop convertible mule.

As you stated it could be a convertible Z06 test mule or a convertible with the Z51 equivalent package..

BTW: the same car was mentioned earlier over at corvetteblogger: https://www.corvetteblogger.com/2019...e-in-the-wild/

It's also possible it's simply not value added to expend the time and resources to remove the camo of cars.

Maybe Camo should be a color option?

This. There's a lot of people there who are just trying to get their jobs done and couldn't care less whether the car has vinyl on it or not.

Take a close look at the rear spoiler. Is that just camo bunched up or is that a Gurney flap in the trailing edge? If it's a Gurney flap, maybe it's the ZO6. The C7 ZO6 had a Gurney flap on the trailing edge.

I believe that is the Stingray convertible (or spyder, or whatever it will be called). You can tell by looking at the breaks in the roof above the driver's head. The Convertible has two breaks, as opposed to the coupe, which just has the one break. (Or else the convertible just has one break that is farther forward than where the coupe's break is.) I guess it's because they will have some kind of nifty way of automatically retracting and stowing the roof.
