I just did a Google maps at GM's Yuma testing facility. Don't know when the satellite view was made.
Three Corvettes behind the wall. One covered and two red ones uncovered. Couldn't zoom in close enough to see any details.

That Google Earth Photo was taken on 3-23-2013. Google Maps uses Google Earth when switched to Satellite view. Those Corvettes were probably C6's though could also be pre- C7 mules. The same image on Google Earth is much clearer when viewed on Google Earth vs Google Maps

Yes...and for quite awhile .....

Also notice that the car on the far side is a convertible and without a tall wing.
I think that puts a damper on the idea that the camo'd cars are some exclusive super-duper track car like an ACR.
There is another photo around that shows a convertible with the front end changes but with a very low wing.
I'm still of the impression that we are seeing 2018 Z06's with a new front fascia and with various aero packages(ie; base, stage 2, Z07, etc).
I'm pretty sure that this was a staged "spy shot" opportunity by GM's marketing as there is no reason for the two cars to leave the test faculty and driven to a motel to be left out overnight. Plenty of regular cars at the test facility for "engineers" to drive back and forth to a motel. The kicker is that the "engineers" did not get into the cars the next morning and drive them back to the test facility, but that a large transporter came and picked them up at the motel, and I bet that's how they got to the motel in the first place.

I believe that you are correct. On Google Earth, the two red ones appear to be C6's but the covered one appears to be a C7. Photo definitely was made a long time ago. Must take a long time for the slow *** satellite to past over, since the view is 4 years old.
