Is it me, or does the car appear a little shorter in length (the rear-end looks a little shorter to me)?

My wife just told me. That the driver flipped her off and seemed very upset for getting caught at the light 😂
I'd be pissed off enough to write to GM.
1) If one of my employees in a company car flipped off anyone, let alone someone taking photographs of them, I'd fire them on the spot. This is even worse because someone is excited about your product to take pictures of it and post them on the internet for you for free publicity. JFC.

2) Screw him. He's driving on a public road. They have private proving grounds, trailers, trucks and plenty of resources to shut down roads and rent out tracks.

Not cool at all, the driver should conduct himself like a professional and more compassionate from a personal level.

This may not be the Z06. Looks like the e-ray based on the camouflage scheme.

The larger wheels and the front fender line is further back making it to appear a shorter than the base model.

GM is building a LMDh prototype racing car (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LMDh). I'm sure that's what this is. It will be a Caddy and I doubt there will be any road car derivatives.

The wheels are covered so I'm guessing it's an E-ray. No reason to recover those.

Terrible rendering. Check the two rear fenders for the add on fins. Looks like the artist just slid the added fins from one fender to the other and pasted without reversing. In addition the proportions are wrong on other of the fins.

Still, kind of wild in a cool way

I completely agree. Also i feel like i read another post on this forum where another group of test drivers flipped someone off. I think it may have just kinda went unmentioned since it wasnt to someone's wife. Not a good image regardless

That looks like the Hybrid/E-RAY and not a Z06. None of the mules had that type of nose on the Z06. However ALL the Hybrid/E-RAY mules the front nose was completely covered,
To bad she could not take a picture of the rear of the car.

If that guy really gave your wife the finger he needs to be fired. There will be no trouble finding a replacement to drive the ZO6 every day.


Seriously, if you have a photo of him giving her the finger then please send it to GM. Test drivers have been fired for far less.

From what I can see past the wheel covers looks the z06 style wheels and not the eRay
