I don't recall seeing any of the satin graphite wheels?

WOW - Torch Red for the win!

IMO, that's the best looking C8 yet.

The front splitter is there, you can see it, especially on the side. It's body colored.

I'm a torch red lover as 2 of my last 3 Corvette's have been red, but the Z isn't doing it for me in red at all. Bring on rapid blue, but right now I'm still sold on AYM.

I like both the sculpted, flowing, minimalist wingless look, as well as the high-wing aggressive look and performance that goes along with it.

I wish GM would have a way to quickly remove it via bolts from the trunk area (for security reasons) and then snap-on covers to cover the openings. That way you could have dual-use, dual-look and change it out depending on your intended driving for the week or preferred look for the week.

If GM doesn't offer it, hopefully an aftermarket company will step in with a replica-looking high wing that can do this.

The car was at a Dealership lot here in Michigan. Credit should be given to the person who took the pics. I like Red but that front end needs something.

Hard dislike on this stripped down looking Z06. It looks super awkward and incomplete.

I could not agree more. The body-colored front splitter makes the the front facia too large, almost cartoonish. It needs a contrasting color or carbon fiber front splitter.

Very Ferrari-esque in this photo with the body colored front splitter and super clean no-aero look.

And damn have they come a long way on wheel design. I honestly now cannot figure out how any of the Stingray wheel designs were greenlighted.

I like it. There was a cammo'd car in Lake Orion yesterday, Z06, none of the stuff on it, no wing, nothing but it did have the Carbon wheels which look absolutely amazing.

The standard Z06 front end is what you are seeing on the red car above. It was also on the Z06 Red Mist HTC media photos whereas the Silver Z06 had the optional carbon fiber front lip:

What if this is a strippo performance model like the original Z06, or a GT2. Thinner glass, minimal door panels and sound deadening, etc.


OR

Eray?

I would prefer to see a z06 in torch red with the standard silver wheels. I also think jts a cloudy day. Something is off ..

not really feeling this photo showing the z06 in torch red.
