Default cant understand why this ISNT the new Z06

and if it is im in for a disappointment regardless of all the new performance associated with it. I would have expected a more aggressive departure from the C7 stingray, what do you guys think?

I came to this conclusion because the picture was out BEFORE we got a shot of the side vents that had the logo, and this one seems to have the logo in the correct spot including the correct wheels. Some people said it was photoshopped, can someone locate the original image that was used to photoshop this one?

What do you guys think? I know its only a matter of days but those few days feel longer than usual

I was just thinking the same thing. This so called photoshop has a badge like the teaser pics. Too coincidental

I have been saying for a while that I fully expect it to look like that yellow one. That emblem in the cove was not out before and recently we see a close up of it from the other side. This
"Photoshopped" pic was out long before before that. Photoshop Somebody made a good guess. Photoshopped yes, but the info is pretty correct. We shall soon see

Weird... someone must have taken the time to do a Z51 photoshop job on that super secret leaked spy photo of the real C7 Z06.

Yeah. I know. Z51, in same spot. Looks like that was original pic. Explain the badges and wheels? Maybe someone chopped a Z06 pic into a Z51 to coverup the leak

well it looks like someone saw the image of a Z06 and photoshopped this one out of that because yes it seems that hes gotten almost everything (until now) accurately despite it being blurry. If there is one thing I hate it would be the rear brake vent which looks like some fake stick on vent youd find on some bodykit cars.

I can't imagine where someone may have seen some cues as to what the high performance C7 would look like. Its almost like they've known about it for years...



Even the badge placement!! It's uncanny...

The Z wheels are obviously chopped, but even the Z51 wheels have a chopped appearance.

There may be more truth to that "chop" than not. The rear quarter panels also looked flared a bit.

As if the painfully obvious photoshopped wheels didn't give it away...

That yellow picture of the Z51 was the original (I think from Consumer Reports or something like that) and a guy on here made a Z06 rendering a looooooong time ago based on the original Jalopnik C7 rendering.

Here's an article on a different forum, from back in September, with the original picture:

The chop was done by MikeG37. It's well documented here on the forum. Search function is your friend.

MikeG37 needs to be hired by GM immediately!

That car is the best looking car I've seen in a long time. Maybe ever.

what does age have to do with anything? Seems the photoshop was a pretty darn good one after the real pictures leaked today.
