The GM Media web site listed above has images with 3000 pixels in the long direction. That's the best resolution I've seen and they're also professionally done, so the lighting is very good.

Will Grand Turismo 5 Have the full C7 after the reveal?

Since Grand Turismo 5 had the camo covered C7, do you think they will have the uncovered C7 shortly after the reveal? I'm considering getting a copy just for that reason.

Mobil 1 oil is good to at least 280 degrees, perhaps even well past 300. If you're not tracking the car, I don't think you need any external coolers.
