That # 49 sure gets around.

CSixDude 09-18-2012 09:22 PM

I heard that the guy who took those photos disappeared shortly after and has never been seen again.

Tires seem narrow, mirrors too wide. 4/10. Would not buy.

Caught down here in Memphis prowling Beale St., probably testing OnStar's theft recovery system.:D

Are those red rear fog lights next to the tailpipes?

John T 09-19-2012 07:56 AM

Where are all of the other "spy" photos? We have been pretty lucky so far with a steady flow of good info and pics but we are insatiable when it comes to our beloved Corvette !

no, used to drain fuel tanks.

I am curious about the purpose of those also. They aren't on some of the early spy photos like the winter test shots.

An Olds Aurora I owned had rear fog lights (amber colored) and they were great if a car was riding your bumper at night, they were obviously pretty bright. I hadn't thought about those in years until I was driving behind a late model GM SUV on the way to work Monday morning in very dense fog, its rear lights were nearly invisible except when he hit his brakes. My nomination for idiot driver of the morning was in a white minivan which was running on a 55 MPH 2 lane state highway and had no lights on, I guess she was in stealth mode :(

I think those may be sensor attachment points, or possibly fuel tank drains like mentioned above. They had red plastic caps over them. They might be hook up points for those large bicycle type sensor wheels you often see attached to the rear of cars for testing.

Keep your eyes peeled for a whole new batch of photos, several from the front at close range, and one that shows the passenger seat back. They have been released to several sites, but I don't know where they'll show up first. I think they are the best ones I've seen anywhere.

LOL @ C7 on Mars... now that's funny :lol:

I assumed the pointy things were for hooking up some sort of testing equipment i.e. sound monitors. I don't see them being fuel tank drains as they're not close to the tanks. The tanks are right behind the seats and in front of the rear suspension. You wouldn't have a drain coming through the trunk and out the rear fascia.

those are the same exact things we saw on the C6 test cars and it was confirmed to be used to drain the fuel from the car.

I tried to tell everyone earlier that aliens were involved in this and that the tail lights had mind reading devices in them, but no one believed me. Now we have proof!

Cobra4B 09-19-2012 10:07 AM

Link? If you look where the fuel tanks are it seems and odd place to put a tank drain.

The tanks go up in here...

What's odd about it? If you want to drain the tanks, the drains need to be at a point lower than the tanks, and in an easily accessible place so you can reach them.

If they're fuel tank related they probably use a suctioning device to empty the tanks from back there.. so not really "drain" tubes.

.......

I don't think anyone is using the bicycle wheel measuring devices anymore. They have the GPS. They will never need a map again (or bicylcle wheel thingies, see Cars for the source scene)

Looks like autoevolution.com is the first to post up a couple of my latest pictures, including the one that shows the upper section of the passenger seat back. Enjoy.
