I saw a picture in a local Detroit paper. The Z06 is already on the stand, under a camo cover.

Image four of the fourteen in the gallery.

Id imagine the C7z or C7r would both be in enclosed transport at this stage.

If you look at the link and the image, it says that it's a production Z06 under a camo cover (car cover in a camo scheme). If you have a chance to look at the image, on the right side of the image, under the lift, it would appear to be a C7R, based upon the shape under the car cover (and the height of the rear of the vehicle - guessing that it must be the rear wing of the race car).

05dsom - Thanks for posting the photo, even though I've been on CF all these years, I still am not really sure how to post photos.

That would be awesome. I pictured the whole thing happening.

Also, it looks like they'll be offering all the colors and interior colors too.

I wonder if those are the available colors to the right of the track picture.

I think its an incredible setup. Pricing will be interesting.

I bet the question GM has been asking is why the Viper needs 15K discounts to sell.

I bet that will have a lot to do with pricing.

I think the colors that make up the ring are the available exterior colors and the colors to the right are the available interior colors.

Why would they do that, unless they had a new ring time to announce?

For GM to be so bold with the 'Ring as a backdrop for the reveal, the time has to be VERY impressive! I'm anxious.

I can't wait, I have seen the ring logo on many of the corvette team members shirts since the C7 debuted. Maybe then too the Stingray will get a time? Thanks for posting the pictures. I am saving everything anything c7 Z06 related until tomorrow. Lol
