Cool pics!

Also the Mule's tail light lenses appear to have some type of white lower halves which are different than the "afterburner" style lenses- Euro spec??

I think we are seeing the back end (white SMC) at the bottom of the the taillight openings on the camo, not the taillights. It looks like the camo has either slipped or just doesn't fit well.

It appears in the photo that there is 2 types of camo on this car. The usual bra/diapers and a tighter plastic over all but the door panel. Note there is no view of the side vent. There could also be a rear vent covered up. That plastic covering could also be covering half of the tail lights. It would also cover up any fasteners used to hold the flairs on. Thanx for sharing the pic.

Anyone else notice the recess for the lisence plate? Doesn't look big enough for a Euro plate, also the fact that it's actually back in a hole.
How bout the curve on the rear end. It's hard to describe what I'm talking about, but I can show it in a picture, I just can't get the picture to upload. Anywho, there is a definition line on the rear fascia, it looks like it starts about 2 inches to the left of the taillight, then goes straight down. Then it curves and almost levels off with the top of the exhaust. Anyone else see this, or does somebody need to host a picture for me.
Lastly, the front fender appears to have a bit of a flair to it. The flair looks like it starts right from the horizontal crease in the fender.
Photoshop junkies, play with the lightness/darkness, you'll prolly see what I'm talking about.

Looks like a rear spoiler too, with the expanded distance between the taillights and the top of the rear part of the body. I like the flares, too...

Lookin' good. I like the wheels, flares, lights, and maybe the back is a bit wider, so the "butt" looks a little less tall.

GM, please let us order stripped ZO6's so we can buy one for about the price of a loaded Coupe. That way those of us more interested in the performance, than the add-on toys, could afford it.

Remember awhile back, there was talk of a quick refreashing after the release of the C6. Maybe this is what we're looking at.
I doubt it, since the C6's front and rear brake ducts are under the car (at least, they are for the Coupe and 'Vert.)

I have not read all the post yet, so I don't know if this has been pointed out. It appears to me from the photo that what ever car is under the masking has some type of rear lip fin on the back over the tail lights if you compare it to the coupe. It kind of reminds me of the way the rear fin was on the SS Camaro's. Did anyone else notice that?

I think it has four tips, but the inner ones appear blacker,and are harder to see. Look again and tell me if you agree with me.

Default See thru??

OK, anyone else notice this section of sky/tree through there?


Seems to me that the angle would indicate this is not a view through the other side window. It's clearly not the windshield since we can see the upper edge of it. What do you make of it?
