Liking the splitter and side skirts. Wonder how much they will be from GM... I think a lot with that retardedly expensive clearcoating? Wonder how much they weigh...
Not liking the spoiler. Wonder how much df it makes all the same?
Tires look the business...
Liking the CF roof section, looks sharp. Wonder if its actually any lighter...
Very muscular looking power bulge.
Bugger me those rotors are big...
You know something occurs to me... The ZR1 is heavier than the Z06, but we know nothing about where that weight has moved... If the top "half" of the car is actually lighter than the Z06, and the bulk of the additional weight is on the axle plane (i.e., suspension, bottom half of the motor)...
In other words, what if the center of gravity is a good bit lower?

Nothing really worth noting, but I will PM you a link to another pic (nothing special, really).

They simply look to me like C6 Z06 wheels done twice 
Leave it to GM to have no imagination for a new wheel design for their newest "supercar".
Don't get me wrong. I love my C6 and the Z06 but this car is just so over-the-top IMHO from the cheesy hood window to the meaningless engine cover to the boring wheels.

The car has a really nice, mean stance all the way around. I like it. From most angles, when seeing one on the street, you will never notice the hood window. The only thing that will easily give it away are the new vents on the fenders. (and of course the badges).

I would like to see the other "easter egg" pics...
......thong tha thong thong thong.............
You know what pic I would like to have seen just out of curiosity?
A view of what the VIN plate looks like for this prototype.

It's funny, just as I was taking the last pictures of the exposed ZR1 frame display (away from the car itself), the convention room speakers were saying "Please wait until we give you the OK to start your vehicles and begin moving them off the floor."
I thought awhile about going "Ninja Spy Photographer" to get some behind-the-scenes goodies, but as I was walking away from the ZR1 display, someone in a Lexus SUV had already started the thing and nearly ran me over while backing it off the display area.
Guess it was time to go....I can't tell you how many big-rig transporters were outside, and jockeying their way in to get the goodies loaded and get the heck out of Dodge.

Here are my favorite two pics, courtesy of myself and captain crunch (thanks captain)!
I really like the Chevy license plate.
last image was edited to bring out the body lines a bit better.
Boy, I tell ya, that blue color, with black accents really seems to work.

One More Time
OK, Here's the last of the last hurrah's. I Edited the contrast and color correction a little. Good night, folks.
