Point being anyone who knows anything isn't allowed to say anything let alone publish it. So everything you read is mere rumor and speculation. Even if you've seen what's coming have you really seen the final

Those who know don't talk about it . . . and those who talk about it don't know. Same as it ever was.

No front air intakes aside from small ones that might be front brake cooling. Certainly not big enough to cool an engine. BIG rear side intakes. Hmmmmm.

The side intakes very interesting, but again more decoy material ?

i heard they were spotted in sparta later in the day. Seems like they are keeping to back roads and small towns for some reason.

Interesting! Think they'd notice someone stalking them in a Red Z or ZR

Great pics! Like the Blogger said, looks like they were "looking" to be to seen this time out... or at least weren't concerned about being spotted. Pretty exciting stuff. Hopefully more pics surface soon!

The more of these pictures that leak, the less inclined I am to purchase a C7 ZR1. The idea of a C8 ME is really starting to grab hold of me.
