Good pictures, thanks for sharing.

The 'camo' tape does a good job of hiding the distance perceptions we all want to see in the aero packaging.

Maybe someone with photoshop skills could make it go away without turning this into a 'see it in your favorite color thread'

Thanks for the pics, so can we confirm that the red engine cover leak we saw last year and the black one are both the same engine?

Also are they testing three different variations? The wings are all different (third pic vs the two visible in the last pic). I dunno, that camo is starting to give me a headache

note the Z06 with the smaller rear spoiler wing also has the base C7's narrower rear fascia tranny / diff radiator vents

Maybe it is the Z07 package with the wickerbill removed? I'm considering doing that to make getting into the cargo area easier.

They still have camo because testing and tweaks are not final yet.

Also the Z07 comes with both large winglets for the track and small ones for the street.

Hard to tell which car was which from photo to photo, but a level 1 and 2 car should have steel rotors. Cool pics

Great observation! I think that is where the "Z06" logo is probably stamped onto the rim. Little do they know that we already know....
