The hood window is still there, it's just covered up. If you look at the Luguna Seca pictures when the hood is open you can see the window.

Nope ... not on the one I'm specifically talking about in the YouTube link. Go look at Time = 1:07 to 1:10. It's clearly shown that there is no hood window showing. It might be under the graphics sticker on the hood, but it's not showing. They might have put the graphic on the hood for that very purpose.

The other yellow ZR1 in the video (without hood graphics) does show the window.

That video just reminded of how epically I failed at my goal of becoming part of team corvette.

Exactly it is under the graphics(I guess), unless GM have a windowless hood . Just like I said about the Laguna Seca pictures you don't see the window until the hood is open. They put the graphics on there to conceal the hood window and the bulging hood until debut.

Also notice that some of the cars don't have the carbon fiber rocker extentions, and there is one European spec car (one of the red ones), quick photo showing headlight washers.

sorry about the double post but i just noticed this, the reason for no carbon fibre stuff was because it was actually the first ZR1 and that wasnt in the design on that car

Yea I wont be suprised when other cities start to see the fleet of ZR1s. They have to test in every climate hot, cold, dry, wet, low high. Hopefully I see some whenever they come out to death valley or valley of fire. Probably during somer when outside temp is between 120 - 130.
