Default Up close personal time with a Black C7 Stingray (Pics) - showing PSI boost gauge

A member on Corvette7 supposedly got some alone time with prototype #37, a black C7.

And dual PSI boost gauges are shown in the display.

Did they get to drive it, or was it just in someone's driveway?

At least on a black car the rear looks better one color.

That's exactly what i was thinking... I'm wondering if i should go with Black or silver.. Silver looks really "Race" if you do a carbon fiber top... oh man i don't know what to do anymore. Why can i just get one for every shirt color?

Okay, black is back in the game for me lol. I was straying away from black because of how it hides the vents, but it just looks too damn sexy...

I want to see this and the cyber grey side by side

In the images from Corvette7, there is two of the cluster showing not one but two boost gauges.. I've seen the photos showing one but not two. That will certainly fuel some speculation!





C7 ZR1 engine spied??





How about this Austin?? I could live with an Engine Bay like that!

Just when I was convinced I'd order black wheels with red calipers... silver wheels with black calipers? Ugh. This is getting complicated.

These twin boost gauges certainly do insprire speculation although I can't help but wonder if the reason for the two gauges is to give the driver the option of having it on either side and just not programmed as such. This as opposed to twin anything. Since I would assume these mules are not FI, I wonder if the gauge programming is just incomplete and as such shows two boost gauges which have not be programmed out and in the future, you would have the option of placing the boost gauge on either side of the display intead of both sides as shown in the picture. That or maybe twins are in the future.

I've had a twin turbo LS2 engine in a sand rail and I loved that engine but I am not sure I would want a twin turbo engine as a daily driver. I'd much prefer a supercharger based on my experience over twins. Then again, given the direction of the Euro cars like the BMW M's, maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing. It sure is fun to speculate.

Some genius at GM is probably sitting behind his desk cracking up at the speculation that will be driven by twin boost gauges in the photos! As if one boost gauge wasn't enough!
