Just noticed the shape on the seat back from the latest Carscoops shot looks a lot like the shape people are imagining through the camo on the rear hatch on the ring car shots. Thoughts?

The post discusses the Stingray name and only had a link to the site. I noticed the "split window detail" and made this thread to discuss that.

I don’t see any correlation to a split window. That appears to be one hell of a tall bulkhead though. Thank God for rear camera systems.

That's a pretty BIG opening between the headrest and the top of the seat back. Anyone else notice that? I prefer the dual slots look for racing shoulder harnesses like in the current Competition seat option.

I'll dig up the other thread tomorrow. You can see this shape peeking through the ring coupe with the hatch up.

In this other pic of that same coupe you can see the rear wing through a small slit at the base of the rear window camo. If there was some structure there splitting it it'd for sure be seen.

See shape at top of blank panel and then at very bottom. Matches the seat if you fill in the middle.

Tool, I'm with you on this one. I also think there is a design correlation between the two. Corvette designers have been doing this for a long time and they are very good at this kind of design integration.

The actual rear glass area is very small already two divided down the middle would make two very small basically unusable window slots with a dividing post right down the middle of the window where any of you from the rearview mirror would be unnecessarily blocked. Even though there are cameras and side mirrors to see Behind, the back window would be nothing more than a design element. Nothing wrong with that Per se But I don’t see GM doing this.

That’s not to say that someone won’t offer an aftermarket replacement rear window with a divider or interesting louvers or ports ; )

… But anything is possible… I guess we’ll see soon, I hope!

I see it too. Maybe, we shall see...

The only thing I see for sure here is that the fuel tank is in the rear of the car.

im having heavy dejavu right now... i swear ive read this thread a while back already.... is this a clone thread to another thread?

And yes, i agree it is a split window. The middle stripe is a vent, and all around the exterior of the glass is also a vent.

First why would they do a split window ME, GM please change the entire design of the ME to match a car that only had a one year production cycle & was mainly popular because its rarity.

Remember Zora hated the split window design, he had it killed after a year. Details about the split below.

Im crazy but not that crazy. These 2 threads are almost identical. Amazing.

We didn't have the interior seat shot at this angle to compare to. This is the first time we've seen that shape in full.
