Sounds like a TIE fighter screaming by...

Nice, on some of the stills you can get a really good look at how much the fake covering over the side scoop is distorting. That should give us a decent idea of the actual shape of the scoop. I think it's going to be like this Car and Driver render... https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod...1526569843.jpg
I'm starting to think that render is probably like 90% accurate. Some of the proportions are obviously different, but the general idea looks really accurate.

Is that tire squeal??

I'm not so sure about that. Starting right about 0:20 the stills show some obvious distortion in the side scoop. It's easy to see with the video in full screen mode. It's really apparent in the pic where the car is driving away from the camera. I outlined it here. Something is going on there. It looks like the scoop is mostly a soft skin that is sort of "ballooning" out from the air pressure.

How about what we thought was the rear quarter window...is it active aero?
Thats the spider version.

LOL... you're spot on here fvs!
I actually had to google/YouTube this (I'm not a Star Wars expert) and found this... go to about :40 and check the various samples
Great call!
Perhaps GM has outfitted the C8 with Twin Ion Engines!
(sarcasm alert )

Tie figher C8 at 28 seconds in the video, lol!
PERFECT!
It's going to be a beautiful car! The camo job they've done is amazing at concealing the final look!

It almost 100% proves that you and a few of the others were right about the scoop lines.
The scoop will be like the McDonald’s spy pictures.

I think so too smithers. Everything is off by inches and curves /angles are wrong but it has the “look”.
