Default Bottom shot

I've looked everywhere and can't find a shot of the underside. Does anyone have an image or a link? I've seen from the outside looking and the inside looking out, but nothing of the bottom. Even if it's on a hauler, something !!!

Here's a screen grab from the new European video, but it doesn't show much.

I'd really like to see the air intakes to the Z51 coolers on the bottom of the convertible. I'm interested in how they are going to keep nasty debris from flying up through the coolers.

...and back on topic: I'm also curious where the exhaust is routed. There were some early reports of it being over the torque tube instead of under like the C5/6, but if the image that C&D has in their "10 awesome things to know..." article, its still underneath which will be good for long-tube installs.

Default Thank you

I read the story twice while looking at the very well done photos. Admittedly, much of it is volumes over my head as far as being able to do the work, but it was explained simply enough that I understood more with the photos than I ordinarily would. Good photos with proper explanations are worth the asking price. Again, thank you for the well written 'photo' story. Then I went through them full size. Someone knew what they were doing.
