Thanks Jag!

I like the new front end

Kent1999

Thanks for those... most uncovered to date.

I wonder why the rear bumper cover is camo'ed? It *appears* to be the stock Z06/GS piece, but perhaps there are additional vents/grilles for additional cooling of some component?

At this point, isn't it just a little bit silly to continue having the car cameo'd? I mean come on, this is the worst kept secret ever!

This is the first one I've seen without either wing. With the big front end it looks a little unbalanced without at least the little wing. I had sort of expected it would only be available with one of the wings just to help with model differentiation (not to mention the down force needed to keep a 750 hp beast on the track)

The gaps around the center of the hood still seem to indicate that we may have an exposed supercharger top.

It also looks like the front will be wide enough to eliminate the spats.

I'm also curious as to why the camo on the rear.

I dig the wheels.

Nice! Thanks for posting. Looks like wider front fenders, with no wheel spats... I really like the hood, and the wheels are growing on me.

Rear spoiler is different or bumper is level at back and raised up a bit. Hard to tell.
Rear brake light is smaller.

If this version truly does away with spats and the car is really wider, then the zr1 nose probably won't be a bolt on piece that can be easily added to a previous generation C7 as the ZR1 will be wider. I know in another post ppl were considering if the new new could be fit on existing C7 cars. Good to see more of it uncovered though!

I'm guessing the tape on the wheels is covering up ZR1.

I was thinking the same thing.

It is using the same setup as the ZL1 1LE.

I don't care for the old Ferrari wheels myself.

I like the wheels, front air damn openings seem a little to large for me, but we'll see. The huge bubble on the hood is ugly, but will hold my judgement till it comes out.

Since it doesn't look like a front splitter is installed, I'd not get too excited about no spats using these pics as evidence.

looks like the center part of the hood stays on thee eng when the hood is opened up,kind of a 1970 hemi shaker



o'ya cool looking wheels

Steve Garrett

I even like the wheels! Can't wait to see the entire thing, especially the nose and hood.

sTz

Yeah, you might be right. I looked at the distance from the headlights to the fender edge on my Z and it looks like the same distance. If so, then fenders are not wider, and the spats will probably be returning...

As others see, it looks like the front fender spats have been eliminated for flared fenders, the cooling capacity looks great, the wheels look good, and the bigger supercharger will be excellent.

Pretty cool shots! Thanks!

It's the base Z we've been following. They are the same wheels, but, they're silver. The rear fascia is made to support the wings, and doubles as small spoiler. They're the same brakes, but, they're red.

A bigger SC!?

Great photos!

Clearly they're not going to offer the car like this. You don't get a hood like that, with no side skirts, and a stage 0 rear. I hope everyone knows this.

My take, and I swear I'm not just saying this because I have a Z and this will be better....

I don't like the wheels, I agree they're like the older Ferrari style.
The hood is gigantic. It is exciting to think what may be underneath but it can't help visibility. I know that's a crazy comment but I actually drive my Corvette.
I don't like the front end. I'm sure it, probably, keeps the heat down but I'm not feeling it.
It certainly looks like the spats will be gone and I'm curious how that's going to look. I for one think the spats were a good solution and feel that the C7R and aftermarket kits that make the fender wider without a spat look silly and cartoonish. I'm sure GM has a far better solution than the aftermarket and I can't wait to see it.

I'm sure whatever this car is it will **** on my Z in all measurable metrics however one of the top reasons I love my Z is that I think it's one of the best looking modern cars built by any manufacture. So far, I see this car as a visual step down from the Z.

That said, I'm sure it will be awesome and I hope they sell a million. Exciting times to come!

Best,
Gene
