True, its got the C6R hood elements, a wider hood intake like the Camaro SS (prob. a direct lift of it), and other kick-**** styling refinements.
My only gripes:
*stock rotors and calipers
*NO rear wing at all? does the front aero make that much of a difference?
* I think that interior picture is photoshop'd (inside joke)
The wheels are boss (to steal a 'stang term
) 
And, we are seeing the future, folks. High HP on non-petroleum fuels.
Leave it to Jay, a true "Car Guy," if there ever was one. 
EDIT: Oh, yes - the most important part! -- it is powered by Katech!!!! :-)

Now that looks sweet!!!
Let's pray that GM understands that this is the kind of changes we would like to see..............Very noticeable that this is not your average vette.

Yes, thanks. I read on the post MAJ pointed us to that it has major functional front elements as well as an underbody wing. Should have known better considering P&M's extensive engineering/racing experience. That thing is an incredible engineering exercise. Should be quite interesting to compare this package to the ZR1 once it comes out. This has a little less HP, but its NA. Very interesting.
Thanks.
Of course, I am biased to liking rear wings also.

WOW!! No artificial insemination, no plastic covers on the engine, I love it!!
The only challenge will be finding a place to carry the 8-foot lug wrench!!

According to Pratt Miller
Powered by a Katech Performance 8.2-liter (500ci) all-aluminum small-block V-8 engine that produces 600 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. torque, the Pratt & Miller Corvette C6RS employs a purpose-built carbon fiber body to reduce weight and improve aerodynamic efficiency. A computer-controlled adjustable suspension system, center-nut forged aluminum BBS wheels with Michelin tires, and massive Brembo monobloc disc brakes enhance vehicle dynamics.

" Brembo brakes with six-piston mono-block calipers in front and four-piston rear calipers"
from one source i found
sounds like some baller brakes to stop a 600hp rocket
