J/K.... Can't wait to see one of these with a real color on it and in person. I better start saving my pennies now.

Too bad they couldn't secure any sponsors for this car, I guess the economy still sucks. I hope GM has enough money to go racing all on their own dime.
Did anyone happen to see if this car came with luggage?

Is the C6 Z06/ZR1 the same width as the current C6.R?
People seem to be concluding that this car means good things for the C7 Z06/ZR1 from a wide body perspective. Unless the C6 Z06/ZR1 is as wide as the C6.R, it seems crazy that some people think the C7 Z06/ZR1 will be similar to the C7.R. I don't know the answer but would be interested.

Check out the Corvett V logo formed by the camo on the roof!
FWIS, it appears the racing rules are encouraging the wasp waist effect. Maybe GM can't widen the cockpit but they can put flares in the fenders? I noticed the same look on the Viper.

That's the good thing about having to wait for the C-7 that matters. More time to get finances in order.

You are funny.OR, someone could buy a C7 Z51 today and then trade it for a C7 Z06 in 3 years and get the joy of the C7 now and own the only car "that matters" when it is available

I am convinced the C7 Z will be the ultimate corvette (driving/handling characteristics will be where I feel they should be). I am just sad that it will be years from now before I can buy one used at a reasonable price.

That's true for some but finances being what they are for me, it seems I'll be waiting.(Hopefully only 2 years)

The new Z .
When the c6.r came out they built a detuned version of it back in 2006 called the ZO6 , I suspect the Z will look like this . Minus of course that huge wing . Hope my suspicions are correct , if so then I will have to go sell a kidney or my first born cause I will have to have one .
