A couple of recent pics taken today
I found these on FB. They were taken today in Yuma, AZ. Unfortunately not a lot of information other than they were taken in a hotel parking lot. For those in the area, keep an eye out.

why would anyone take a pic like that and NOT hang around to see the covers come off in the morning knowing the pics would go viral in a heartbeat?

Ummm....too late. The pictures were taken at a minimum 8 days ago. Those cars are long gone.
Public parking lot...
"Security" (assuming it wasn't the hotel's ace security staff...) has ZERO authority there. Unless the photographer actually touches the cars/covers, the cars are in public, and therefore, public domain. Don't won't them photographed? Keep 'em at Milford.

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 agree with you, JoesC5. Likely marketing tactics to keep the rumblings alive.

It very well could have been staged; but I'm not sure. I was hoping to alert some members in the Yuma area would have seen them on the road and snapped some additional pics. They're probably in CA now.
