GM is renting Laguna Seca

I think it will follow suit along with ZL1-LE the rear wing looks the same.

Not at first...well done, sir.
IF the wing is made for Function over Form, then it can't be the same.
The aero characteristics of the Camaro in front of the rear wing area is significantly different than a C7.

A few things I noticed that I haven't seen mentioned:
*Rear wheels are GS wheels. Sure, they are not going to be the stock wheels, but...here is where it gets interesting. The tire has to be the one that they will use stock. That means it fits on a 12" wheel. I'm thinking the new tires are still 335 section. By contrast the Viper runs 13" to use wider 355 section tires. I've used 355 on track on this car and they clear, but GM is not going to go to a wider tire.
*The wing is a little different than C&D's front page. Look at where the mounts are.

That last pic is the best view yet. I'd been wondering why the ZR1 mules appeared to have Stingray-style sharply angled fender vents and not the more upright Z06 vents. Looks like the ZR1 gets new fenders that match the wide front bumper without add-on spats. If upgrading to carbon fiber it's a good time to change the vent design too.

Just returned from Laguna Seca... I cant improve on the pics/vids already posted. I did see some Camaro's being tested and on the way out observed a heavy camo Vette without a rear wing flying around the track.

Thanks guys! Appears the ride height has been lowered some especially in the front compare to the AWD look. Those rear wings will be a hot item.
What's sticking out the back?
