New nose, wheels clearly labelled ZR1, big wing. You think they did that just to mess with the public?
These are cars spotted testing on race tracks against other models.
The ZR1 is about to get announced.
The mid-engine car is coming, but it could be a month and it could be a year before we know anything.
One thing is for certain, this forum is absolute crap for 'inside news' with all the speculation that gets posted about someone's brother's friend's cousin, who's definitely in the know. The handful of people who might actually know, they don't help at all by posting crap like 'soon', 'you'll see', and 'maybe'. The fact that they might know something is irrelevant since they can't share, which makes it absolutely useless for them to post anything at all.
Stick with the facts people. No evidence? Stop wasting everyone's time.

A few thinking they are so in the know need A BIG Slap down for all the 
Let's see what gets revealed in a week from now, I'll be the first to apologize if it is not the ZR1 and/or mid-engine Corvette.

I asked my source this same question, they specifically mentioned mid-engine. Could be wrong. But, I don't think we need a ZR1, how much more power could we put on a front engine, rear drive platform and keep it usable? Could the "ZR1" camouflaged cars have been a decoy to keep the rumors swirling? The latest plant pictures of the front and rear bumper cover clearly belong to the camouflaged mid-engine cars were seeing at McDonald's, etc.. Those crazy tall spoilers on the "ZR1", come on, they couldn't put a subtle spoiler on to grab attention, it had to be big and annoying. I think we were played! I hope we were played! Well played GM!

Your anti new ZR and the C7 is stale comments speak volumes for compelling sales
You can lead a horse to the General but not all are drinking the Kool Aide.

We've seen pictures of what was clearly a ZR1 (front engine, large rear wing) under a cover strapped down INSIDE a cargo plane. Clearly, this is the ZR1 being flown to Dubai. The Dubai reveal will be the front engine ZR1, not the ME car.

But seriously, everyone should put their Vette on a track at-least once!
I am not anti-ZR1, I would love to see a ZR1, I'd love for it to be mid-engined more. And yes, demand for a New Vette is very low right now, there's no denying it, it's a buyers market!
You might be right! People thought it was heading to the Ring, but maybe it was going further east! I don't think it will be in camo form in Dubai tho. Mid-engine or not, I can't wait!

The mid-engine is so far from ready now! However, for those with patience for it, it will be revealed just 436 days from now at NAIAS.

Perhaps because *all* the supercars in the ZR1’s (or ME’s) class are from Europe? And Dubai is the richest and most upscale city in that part of the globe, lending exclusivity and a sense of occasion to the reveal?

At the risk of being called a raciest , Dubai? Really? F the American working man who is the ONE reason this car exists. I'd be happy to wait another month or two for a state side reveal.

Way too many folks think the ME redesign is the end of normal folks owning and driving vettes.
Its quite the opposite and the word needs to get out. Its the begining of normal working folks owning and driving ME supercars.
I bet if they unveil anything its the 'last hurrah' ZR1 FE car.
