Yeah, in race trim. I was talking about the production variant you posted in that photo above. In production trim those are ducts. In any event, this looks like it could be the exact car in the mirror image.

The 2013 C6 ZR1 now holds the production car lap record at Laguna Seca and I have little doubt that the C7 ZR1(?) will best the new Viper at Laguna Seca by an even greater margin.
At Laguna Seca, the C6 ZR1 is not only faster than the new Viper and much easier to drive at speed, but it is also faster than the Ferrari 458 Italia, the Lamborghini Aventador, the Lexus LFA, the Audi R8 GT, the Porsche GT3 RS, and the Nissan GT-R.
So, I think these rear view mirror views are simply foretelling the future.

There's a lot of subliminal stingray shapes all over this car. Looking at the car in plan view there's more. Look straight down at the dash with the mid level leather spec and it's there also. I like the total integration look. It's kind of fun to discover those details with a martini in hand.

Notch, we know that you have a affinity for the 911 and Porsches seems to use the subliminal geometries of their design vocabulary to much success. They tend to use curvilinear forms throughout their line up, from 911 to Boxter to Panamera

For those who hate the C7 steering wheel, you can always go back and get yourself the original C6 steering wheel.

Just like I have an affinity for lots of sports cars.
There is a big difference between curvilinear forms and the shape of a specific fish. The curvilinear forms are not intended to specifically represent anything.

That wheel is butt-ugly. C6 steering wheels, though used in many GM cars, was a very good design without any gimmicks. The whole interior just looks like a mish-mash of odd shapes

The Z51 appears to be an absolutely killer multi use street sports car that can play at a very serious level while still remaining below $70,000.
