I was about to post the Keeks CAD and comment on the wheels being an exact match. We already know what this car will be...
1. Flared body work with a flared bumper so cloning will be more difficult.
2. Rear fascia has larger lower side vents and a taller spoiler which extends further forward.
3. Brakes appear to be carbon ceramic.
4. Engine will be suprcharged LT1 called LT4 we've all seen the CAD. And GM's interior shots showing a mock gauge cluster with a boost gauge etc.

Didn't C&D also over-estimate the price of the Stingray?

Not as well as the 345s on my Z06.
How are the 185s holding up to all that Front wheel drive torque steer on the Camry? Is it harder at Toyota drift days with a FWD car?
When can we officially start a C7 Z06 section?

The appeal of the Corvette is it's value and performance for the money. The Stingray is just that, its perfect in those regards.
When we start talking $100K for a performance version of a $52K base car, I just shake my head. Sorry, I won't ever spend that much on a Corvette. That is where I look into spending a few extra dollars and buying a slightly used Lambo or Ferrari.
Do you REALLY need a car that performs better than the Stingray? If you do and want to pay $100K+, why would you want to buy a supped up $52K vehicle? Dont be cheap and step up to a more exclusive ride that doesnt have a cheap sibling.

Who cares about exclusivity, status, etc.

To be fair though, picking a used Lambo or Ferrari that will end up in the same cost of ownership as a Z07 would mean finding one well under $100k, once you factor in maintenance costs. And the exotics that are well under $100k look dated compared to the new ones, and won't perform as good as the Z07 either. I'd totally pick a new Z07 over a Ferrari 360 for example.

Looks the same to me under the camoflauge.
