Displacement of this new engine for baseline Corvette duty is strongly rumored to be 5.5 liters, a considerable drop from the current 6.2-liter. However power output is expected to be at least 440-450 horses, which would give it a slight edge compared to the existing engine. If speculation proves true, the C7 also will be lighter than its 3,200-lb C6 counterpart, a situation that should permit the 2014 Corvette to deliver better performance as well as even higher mpg ratings.

I have not seen those exact photos, but there have been a lot in the past week or so very similar. I really think see that they are popping up in different parts of the country, it is just GM's way of getting people talking.
Really can't tell much from the pictures. Although some people seem to see things that most don't.
I remember that injection mold of the new C7 nose piece that cause a lot of talk. Hard to tell if this vehicle has that much of an angle on its nose.

You do know what a 450hp, 3000 pound car is capable of, right?
Not that any of the technical info (5.5L?) within that article is necessarily correct anyway, but just sayin.

It looks like Colorado. Specifically, Evergreen.
