Sorry for the final time these drawings are not cad. Allot more complex solid works system. And no average joe could do them. Also do some reading there are zr1clay models and renderings from 2005 when the base model was just being released for the c6

And to further support your point. The final clay of the C6 was completed in July 2001. It shows that design of any trim is done long in advance of the release.

That's true.
And I suppose those very same claims of speculative and false/inaccurate info could apply the statements below as well, right?

I think that the CAD drawing was just part of a strategy to coax people into thinking that we're seeing a glimpse of the c7.

So the roof accounts for 30% of the car? I don't think so, but based off that... yes, i can say jalopnik's rendering is accurate to the roof. lol wait, how does 30% of a complete car match 98% of another. haha. where did the other 68% come from? oh yes, all of the speculation... i'm sorry.

What i think thwarting argument is is that models r made way in advance and must be tested in advance zcobra.i doubt they will design.test and produce it the year it is released.no must be in advance.and what if what if they for once release two models at the beginning

Wait a minute there's much more than the roof:

The A pillar.
The windshield's shape.
The sideview mirrors.
And last but not least: the friggin 100% accurate wheels. Conveniently forgot about that one??

lol, it wouldn't be the first time. that is infact what they do. it is their intent not to let everybody distinguish the lines underneath.

lol you can't be serious? if they can make 15 clay models with different fender lines, i'm sure they can handle making fake humps and lines underneath all of that camo

A base model and then a 'wide body Grand Sport style optioned' model perhaps?
I don't actually think that is the case here but just puttin' it out there.
I think we saw some base models being tested and we might've also seen one or two 'upmarket' (Z06? ZR1?) models in that group as well.

It's not an actual car. Only a premonition of the camo cars that appeared MONTHS LATER.
