In the second photo with the black van, If you look at the far upper right there is part of a third tester. An arguement can be made that there is a roof line of another car behind the clearly shown 2nd car in that same picture.

I remember seeing this same stuff when the C6 was about to be produced. Crazy exaggerated lines and bulges - everybody going bonkers with wild stories and “Spy” survalance.

Hi,
Interesting comparison of profiles!
Will they solve the dilemma of what to do with the distance from the rear of the front door to the front of the rear wheel? A bugaboo for many mid-engine cars.
Regards,
Alan

On my iPad if I expand the picture it looks like there are three of them parked together, one right behind the other !

Of course , if I'm wrong there's still only three !

Apparently, the Corvette test drivers don't get paid as well as we thought.......

If it is named Zora, it will be because he was the biggest advocate for the mid engine Vette. I am not sure if I will like it or not, but it would be an appropriate tribute. I doubt it will be called that though.
