Default Saw four C8's today





Four C8's were being run in Frisco / Breckenridge Colorado today. Saw the cars driving and then turned around to find them. Took me 15 minutes but I found them parked behind a Holiday in with their trailers, tents and security. Unfortunately by then the cars were covered up (4th one was in the tent) and I had security screaming at me as I took pictures lol. The cars sit very low, I was in a lowered C6 and they were the same height or a little lower at the roof.

Excellent job getting the pics. This looks to be the same location as the other pic on Instagram.

Thanks for sharing!

Looks like MC Hammer designed car covers,
not fashionable at all.

it's just do damn bad that hackers break into the government, corporations, credit card companies, credit rating agencies, etc.
BUT NOT ONE DAMN HACKER CAN'T HACK INTO GM TO GET THE PICS OF THE C8 BY NOW! Where is that 400lb. guy
in his bedroom sitting in front of a computer that passes himself off as a hacker!

If you are listening Russia.......

By the way the covers are fitting in the rear it appears the rear end is not straight across but somewhat trimmed in at the corners.

In these photos you can see what appers to be a camera and sensor on the side mirror support. There is also a sensor on the center roof line facing backwards on older photos. I think they will have birdseye 360 camera and supercruise as options.

There was an article saying super cruise was going to expand to the entire GM lineup by 2020. It'll be interesting to see how they implement it on the C8.

That’s cool. Never see anything like that in boring Texas. No elevation for testing and not as hot as Arizona for hot testing.

Just re-read that article and it says expanding beyond Cadillac after 2020.

However Jeff V makes a good point, that if you know something is coming and you are building a brand new car, you include at least its future seamless-integration-capability into your new design.
