I wonder why the red mirrored car has a VP Racing Fuels sticker on the left side of the rear bumper...
I think that footage is from when it first arrived, that sticker has since been replaced by the ring sticker. Still interesting to see it on the car though. Another thing I noticed is the red mirrored car has had this center piece since it was first spotted months ago while the others don't have it. Even the black mirrored, big wing car doesn't have it.
Red mirror running without front fender or rear vents.
I think you're right about that, but it would probably just be for a baseline.
I doubt they would go for anything Official with a car in camo...doesn't make a lot of marketing sense to me.

I noticed this yesterday...not sure what it means.

Obviously two different cars or two different runs. The exhaust on one looks stock while the other is anything but stock looking.
I read somewhere that there are very strict decibel allowances around the ring that during the day that's why the ZR1 has a different looking exhaust in some video
Red mirrored car is definitely an auto with a blower up front. Still cannot tell on black mirrored car - even on the additional videos available on youtube. IMO that may be the LT5 variant vs. the big blower LT4 variant that is likely in the red mirrored car. The bulging hood should have enough space for a 2.3-2.7L eaton or a 6.2L DOHC to fit in there. Unless the Katech landing page from last year was a complete photoshop, the DOHC needs to emerge sooner or later.
I think the Bash is too small an event for the reveal of the ZR1. Although it certainly caters to the Corvette faithful, I'm thinking an August reveal centered around a race event.
The car(s) sticks like glue and they never skip or bounce around...so planted.
Plus there's someone riding along in both cars but not always...what does it mean? nothing.

I wouldn't disagree.
Le Mans sounds a good reveal venue...Laguna Seca might be too small.
