Both cars have pretty dinky single-piece brake rotors, so I doubt either one is hi-po version. Maybe the one with the splitter is a Z51, but I'd hope for at least a two-piece iron setup on their more track focused versions.
Still has that Corvette signature rear end look, with the large area above the rear tire. I do like how it slopes slightly back down at the very end, which will hopefully make that area look a bit more taught than the rear on the C5-C7. Like others have said, the wing does it no favors. The connection to the sides of the car make that surface look larger than it would otherwise.
I think the widebody versions will hide that much better due to the wheel arches being more pronounced. I also think it will look amazing with a Big *** Wing that is more centrally mounted. That should allow one to see the tapering rear end more cleanly, which I think will make the car look a bit more balanced.
Even so, I think it is looking really good overall and am excited to see all the details.

I hope when the finished product is revealed I change my mind but right now that is looking pretty boring and foreign to me. Seriously, I hope I change my mind.
Hate to say it but that thing is fugly front to back. Proportions are goofy as hell.
Thats what happens when its your 1st and last attempt at something brand new.
yikes.
This may have been stated in a few of the other spy shot threads, but I haven't seen anyone mention it in this one yet.
The roof on this one is completely different than the one without the front lip and "double bubble" roof. You can absolutely see what looks like a hardtop convertible setup and even the rear glass area is different than the rather crazy stylized one on the "double bubble" model.
It seems to me one will be a Targa as we've always had with the Vette, and the other will be Chevy's first hardtop convertible Vette.
I also think they're still hiding key details under the camo, and maybe even a few fake panels here and there (side vent area) to throw us off. We'll have to wait and see.
All of this GM is hiding things with fake panels is way over thinking it - what you see is pretty much what your going to get - they have bigger things to think about than trying to hide its design - hell look at previous C7 camo pics not much different from released version - you can take that to the bank

I would appear you're right. Here is a better view from the back. One in front is the convertible. You can see the two sections or whatever in the top where it folds. It also has a camera lower down on the on the upper part of the glass vs on the roof like the back one, louvers on the glass which they either covered up on the other or it does't have them. The center section of the roof is also different between the two. The front one you can see the it dips down a tad in the center.
Also they are adding/removing the front splitters to the cars..
First pic shows the car with a 5 on the top left windshield but no splitter, secod pic is the same car with a splitter. Even the stickers in the bottom right match up.

This topic of the roof styles was given a good airing back in May. Suggest you look up the spy shot threads from that time.

Actually in the photo you've posted the Vette in the front is the supposed Targa, while the one in the foreground has the odd rear "window" and no "double-bubble" roof, plus it also has a front lip (which you can see in other pics; front lip=no double-bubble & odd rear window).

I realize that, and I stated as such at the beginning of my post. I was simply sharing the information in case others haven't spent the time digging through that thread.

The lip aka splitter means nothing. Look at the other pics I posted, it's the same car once with splitter on and once with it off. They are adding and removing the splitter either for testing, to keep people guessing, or both.
