THe engineer did pass on that they are constantly looking for ways to get the weight down. He apparently said the torque tube assembly on this test mule has been modified to shave weight.

Cutting weight is always a good thing :)

I'm guessing that there are still a lot of refinements they are working on and that is why they have not given us hard numbers in a lot of cases. Makes sense. Now watch the, "After xxx years they are still working on it..." whining commence.

And I do like the look without the rear spoiler! Different strokes for different folks. :cheers:

Only 20,000 miles on the 2011, so not for a while. But, I'm not sure what I am doing tomorrow--- are you (sure what you are doing tomorrow)?

Finally! A look at the BASE spoiler!
 
We finally get a good look at the base spoiler on a real C7 without the added optional wide spoiler.

I've been looking for this since seeing this image before Christmas.

Thanks for the mule photos and looks like base C6 wheels:rock:

WICKEDFRC 01-22-2013 10:13 PM

Thats awesome that the mules are running around Phoenix area! Maybe you can get them to join in an ACE-Hole event! Hahahah

The 3rd cell phone pic looks weird. The rear tire looks more like a donut-spare than it does eye-catching appeal to a new Corvette.

Garret 01-22-2013 10:18 PM

Cool....too bad no interior pics.

LMBZ4ME 01-22-2013 10:29 PM

Great post! Thats some exciting news about the Z06.

The mule car is not nearly as impressive as what was spotted at BJ last week.

RC000E 01-22-2013 10:47 PM

Car without the optional wing....:ack:

I told everyone the Michelin guys said Z06 to me....noooooo one listened...

WMark 01-22-2013 11:25 PM

OP, great post! New info! :thumbs:

CSexy06VY 01-22-2013 11:30 PM

Car is beautiful from the front, that rear though.....I don't know, almost looks like the emblem the way the tail lights are angled, maybe it will grow on me, still think my c6 convertible is sexy as hell!

:iagree: That big *** ugly thing is awful...

To me, the smoked targa panel looks really funny with the C-pillars just ending at the panel's edge. I think I'd prefer painted edges like the cars at the unveiling.

And, definitely like it without the tacked-on spoiler.

MikeyTX 01-23-2013 12:12 AM

well, w/o question, I will wait out the initial release. It will be well worth waiting for a Z car.

vankenn 01-23-2013 12:13 AM

Does it seem to anyone that this particular base red C7 with silver wheels look dull and boring? I think so.

How do you list as owning a 2014 Corvette ? The only ones on the street are the test mules in AZ ........................ :willy:

Those wheels are just plain hideous
