~*~*~ The Official C7 Information and picture thread ~*~*~

Okay, 2 months to go, and today GM outed this "official trailer."

If you are quick enough to pause the video at 0:06 there are several pages of drawings that go by really fast, so you gotta be quick on the trigger. From what we've seen of the "leaks," the very last page of drawings has on the top-right, the front end which most closely matches the "leak" from the plastics mfr reputedly making the nose. Then, the rear end just below that looks like it could also be the actual design, with the very angular taillights, but also looking nothing like the Camaro "copy" everyone has feared/disliked so intensely.
Edit: At 0:32 there's a short wind-tunnel shot showing a round taillight, but it looks like the test is of a C6 body. Weird.
Then, there's the sound of the engine at 0:11, most definitely a V8, but I don't hear any FI (I have an awesome professional sound system), so the leaks about Direct Injection on the base engine might be for real, also.
Looking forward to more new "leaks," and I betcha there will be a slew of 'em in the next 8 weeks...
Best regards,

Not a whole lot of facts to gather from this, but here are a few screenshots I took (someone already started a thread with some screenshots too) :

it would be nice to have it thinner and sleeker in the middle like the c3 , also very low seats and shorter hood to make it easier around the track. a middle drive rather than left hand drive plus engine in the middle , wait a minute? ........im drawing a ferrari!

I can't wait! I'm hoping the new C7 with kills the C6 market (sorry C6 owners) so I can pick up a 08 plus Z06 for cheap

Screen capture from the latest Chevy Video release.
Hatch view with test equipment. Looks like Sparco seats in this one.
