This.
If you know, just stop.
It's not fair to tease people like that.

Not to rain on the ZR1 thread, but why is this thread in the C8 forum?

The C8 Forum states that it is, "The place to discuss the next generation of Corvette, be it mid-engine, Zora, or whatever form it make take."

Historically the ZR1 has been a subsequent iteration of an established generation (i.e. C3, C4, C6). And it looks like the next ZR1 will be an iteration of the current C7 generation... not the next generation C8.

Not a real big deal, but I was just curious.

Bet GM does not announce as many expect at Detroit in January. Possibly at 24 hrs of Daytona, or even as most would not expect - LeMans.

Now how convenient is that!
This is my best guess with the info that's available in this thread. I'm guessing if it was going to be at Tokyo, we'd know by know as the show is already going on. Unless it's a last minute thing/I'm not accounting for time difference, then Dubai is the only thing overseas that I know of in the next couple weeks.

If anyone knows of anything else going on chime in...

Yep... a lot more people would see it as opposed to an auto show. I wonder if Chevy is sponsoring any game on Thanksgiving?

If they are doing a reveal at half time, they will keep it under wraps for now. Chevy has iirc always had an advertising presence for that game

True, It seemed to fit here more in the speculation section than the C6 now combined ZR/Z06 section. Should it turn out to be an enhanced C7 something there will be a new area
