The blue and black cars look to have the Z51 options, however I thought the CF roofs had body colored side trim to match the roof line. These all appear to be full CF, or were those the transparent roofs?
This is also the first time I've seen the base, non-Z51 version (red car).

Fun video although it would have been nice to have gotten more shots from the front looking back. One thing I noticed from seeing these in a more "real life" video versus auto-show photos is that the car somehow looks like 2 designs spliced together, with the splice occurring in almost a perfectly straight line just in front of the quarter window. Because of this the overall design does not flow as naturally from front to rear but, rather, looks like one group designed the front, another group designed the rear, and they came together at the quarter window.

Now I did say for the most part but for some people this flicker can be detected either looking at them head on or by using their periphery. I'd imagine that would be rather irritating if you could notice the flicker while driving around.

Scraping the splitter.
Actually it has a lot to do with that "cat's camera." All LED tails flicker, for the most part our eyes aren't capable of detecting said flicker but when filmed it becomes apparent. It's because of the light output refresh rate is different than that of the video recording and thus you see a "flicker" of sorts. Just take a peek at any episode within the last few seasons of Top Gear and you can see even in "high end" cars there's a flicker. Rest assured though, this flicker has nothing to do with "cheap" manufacturing and everything to do with the camera used when filming.

To think that they're going to sell a car with taillights that flicker like that is laughable.

Definately my opinion, just as your post is your opinion.
To each his own.
