Pratt & Miller helped with the development of the C7. I would be willing to bet the C7 will be racing in the first season of the ALMS-Grand Am merger.

If i had to guess, we won't see it officially unveiled until January 2014.
And since the ALMS and Grand-Am are merging and the first race as a merged unit will be Daytona 2014, it will probably make it's first public showing at Speedweek at Daytona early January 2014.

Probably reversed engineered ... starting from a racing wish list and simplifying for the C7R market.
(Wonder if that was how the C5R/C6R developed... starting from a racing concept and toning it down to a civilian market)
Could already be one of the roadside test mules out there....

Did the factory C5R race after the base C6 was introduced ?? I believe NO...... I believe the C6R won Lemans before the C6 Z06 was available to the public. And I've heard the direct injection will be available to race next year.......it is homologated as a 2014 effective Jan. 2013 ???
