Did they get pretty irate with you? I'm curious what they would of done had you stepped over the tape and such to take pics. Obviously they'd try to remove you but how far would they go. More than likely they would need approval from the hotel to tape off an area like that and maybe even a permit from the city possibly. Would be interesting to see what would happen if someone really wanted to go out and take pics up close like through the windows, underneath, though the back hatch, etc, without actually touching the car itself. Pretty much get right up next to the car with touching it. I'm sure it would create quite a stir.

It was almost 100* at 8,000-10,000 elevation that day, going up steep grades in that condition will quickly show any weakness in cooling systems.Air is thinner so there is less air to flow through radiators and cool. Let alone the power loss, can't imagine the power loss due to DA at those conditions, lol. I was driving back from San Francisco and my car is around 700whp, it felt stock up there.

If you see one of these cars, there is nothing illegal about taking pictures. In this circumstance, Chevrolet security can yell all they want, they can't make you leave. Only Holiday Inn security can ask you to leave. Until they do you can stand there all day and take all the pictures and video you want. And even if they do, the video and pics you took prior are not illegal in any way. It's a public place.

Security was smiling as he was yelling and running. He kept trying to run up to my car and block my camera but I would give it a little gas and he couldn't catch up, I drove a circle then pulled off property. I'm sure if someone stayed and didn't leave it could be trespass since he is there to notify people. However you could also just wait on the public street and catch pics of them. I would have waited but I was finishing a 1300 mile trip and my wife didn't share my enthusiasm to camp out all day, lol.

The covers and padding are highly deceiving, but you are indeed correct. The top-down profile of the rear fascia is not nearly as flat and straight across as previous generations at the bottom, surrounding the air filter box intakes and exhaust pipes. The top deck is fairly straight across though. Even the CAD leaks show that much..

OK, that's FUNNY...I don't care who you are.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only thing I can think of they might be testing is a NEW engine (NOT an LT).

IMO, trying to read what's under the camo is damn near impossible; and I've got beer to drink and women to service this weekend.

Of course it's all legal, that wasn't a question I had. What I would be curious about is how far their security would go block or move someone if they went right up next to the car and started snapping pics. That has nothing to do with being legal or not that part is irrelevant. It's more/less how serious does their security take their job. It's really a no win situation for the security people. If they allow someone to walk up next to the car take pics underneath it, through the windows, all over, etc, etc they're going to lose their job. They slap someone up the side the head for trying to take pics like that they are going to lose their job and get sued.

LOL! I like your attitude, sunsalem.

I grew up in Colorado and I have back in state now and again. The various manufacturers have always used the mountains to test as it puts the drivetrain into the spotlight. From the past cars seen running around here and then seeing what was actually offered to production, they may not even be the slightest change to the LT in the C7 under the C8, but they will still run the crap out of them up there. I remember many years ago when some guys caught the very soon to be revealed Viper SRT on top of US 6, above the tunnel on Continental Divide, completely un-camo'd and in production form. Dodge ended up confirming the pictures and announcing the reveal.....it was supposed to be secrete, but the pictures went huge on the internet. Somebody will get the C8 up there, very soon, in no camo. GM simply can't test it completely without removing that camo soon.

Agree with you 100% - There were also a bunch of BMW's in camo driving around that day too. I used to travel to see an account near 470/70 interchange and there are a group of hotels there that always have camo cars parked under wraps, usually near mid to end of summer. Seems like I have seen cars there from almost every major manufacturer over the years. I would also see the same cars going up and down the 70 towards Breck as I made the commute to see accounts.

Made my day! Thanks pimper
