I'm betting that this isn't the big daddy ZR1 equivalent but instead an upgraded, performance package base model. Maybe this is the Stingray model many have alluded to?

I hope those are an option and not the standard seat. :ack:

Might be ok for you racers but to me they are fugly.

The steering wheel looks pretty close to the ZL1 too.

Can't wait to see the finished product but I'm not sure I care for most of what I'm seeing so far. There's already a ZL1. We don't need a two seat version and that's the way the C7 looks to be going IMO. Very square looking like most of the new muscle cars. :hide:

Ford is offering models with a base and upgraded Recaro option. Wonder if Chevy will do this, too.

The only reason the C6Z06 and ZR1 don't have a targa top is because they have an aluminum frame. GM couldn't make the aluminum frame stiff enough without making the roof panel permanent. If you actually look at a C6ZR1 and C6Z06 you'll see they have the removable roof panel but it's just permanently bolted in place. It's rather easy to remove, but over time you could stress-fracture the chassis from repeated loading (think bending a coat hanger back and forth until it breaks).

With the push for fuel efficiency and reduced weight I'm betting all C7s are aluminum frame and that it has been sufficiently updated to allow a removable targa roof panel on all models.

It's going through a turn... the outer side is loaded... that's what cars do.

Note sure if it's been mentioned, but there's a very clear circular rear light in the pics. Made this to show what I mean. This is not in line with the Jalopnik renders.

:crazy2: It's been addressed 1000x that all the test mules have generic LED lights. Go to Google and image search "Round LEDs".

:cool: The Camaro is a giant pig next to the new car :yesnod: Also very interesting that they have the dash etc. covered but makes sense. The seats are killer!

EDIT - anyone notice the fuel in the back of the truck. Odd that they bring their own gas. Makes sense that the "ports" on the rear of the cars with the red caps are for fuel fill/drain or something as the caps seem to match the caps on the tanks in the truck.

That lowered pic going through a turn looks like the air vent on fender before it hits the door.looks at the protruding

dangerz 09-19-2012 03:30 PM

That is a hell of a lot of controls on the steering wheel.

Welcome to 2012.... where we need our cars to park themselves, tell us how to get somewhere, make us dinner reservations, and cook breakfast :lol:

I'm out... the steering column control stalks look the same as the C5/C6... garbage ;) I wonder if the TCS/AH button will still have a C5 image on it (they never changed it for the entire C6 run).

Unless my eyes deceive me, it looks like it has a d-selector on both sides.

Dayum - I never even noticed that before in my C6! :eek: OTOH, I'm farsighted and don't wear my reading glasses in the car....:D

Also note that in the pic next to the camaro, you can easily see that plastic insert in the grill.

EDIT: Went and looked on automobilemag site at the rest of the pictures. This one shows the steering wheel better, though who knows if thats even a true production wheel or not.

EDIT #2:

This one really shows the taper of the rear hatche. Look at all that space on the door going back to the rear deck lid.
