Default c7 at the driving range

Spotted this coming out of the Maple Hill golf shop in wyoming, MI. Didn't grab a pic of the interior but it was stripped down to nothing. Only thing that looked finished was the steering wheel. The rest was just bare metal and open spots for radio, etc.

Interesting...reminds me of the black sharpie Lambo Gallardo

Is that tape and/or velcro over the hood and rear hatch area and above the front grill opening?

Duel exhaust tips. Maybe the cheaper Vette?

it was all tape. I was surprised it was still camoed since we already know what it looks like already.

Probably not worth the effort to peel all the camo off and paint it since it is probably raw underneath.

Looks like all 4 are there - outer 2 are 'carboned up'

No (as now pointed out by others) - if you adjust the image's contrast and gamma you can definitely see the other 2 exhaust tips. And I doubt with those wheels it would be the cheaper Vette - those look like a 19/20 combo.

Maybe a Z06 mule? Stripped down to get the weight to as low a level as possible?

That's the $590 color override option.

Weird picture looks like there's a tinted hard plastic covering over the rear hatch window which is taped down. At least it looks that way.

Would they offer a stripped out version in the near future? Could maybe shave some pounds. This one has the racing seats. More like the z28..
I'm liking the black front grille aswell.

Any other good rear pics of the base C7 to post above or below this one? I cant tell if the rear is wider or not?
