Another sterile video? Does GM pay to have the 'Ring blacked out for their testing? Not often you see the 'Ring so open on a perfectly good day.
And like one posted said above, exhaust note is lacking.
So the guy with a timer on his cell phone means what? That his buddy with a walkie-talkie somewhere else gave him the "start" time? Too much room for error and not confirmed by anything.
Still. I have high hopes.

I think the camo emphasizes edges, which draw your eye to the inlets, grills, etc. on the nose. If you took a C7 nose, especially a ZR-1 or Z06 nose, put it in camo, it'd look pretty busy as well.
Have a good one,

Noticed 3 things
1) Rear tires are wider than front -- for those who are thinking AWD
2) RPMs never get very high -- so either taking it easy or it's a torque monster
3) At 10:10 in the video coming to a stop sign the throttle is blipped so either it is from the trans down shifting on it's own or it's a manual. I thought it was already in first so why would the trans down shift?

Otherwise the car looks likes its going through nomral testing paces. Don't see anything different from what's we've seen the last year and a half or so.

Drifting
On 1) I agree but if they were closer to the same size then I'd say AWD was more possible. On 2) I'd guess that the RPM never gets much higher than 4K which seems low even for low level testing. I still don't get 3).

The car with the slightly darker camo appears to be louder & more stable at higher speeds around the corners (less tire squealing), but maybe it was just my eyes/ears?

Well if you see, that darker one looks like the production version since it has the production lights etc. So I would say it would be more better than the pre production versions with the padded looking lights.

Even-though most on here are for some reason hoping for a 7.18 I think they will be in for a surprise when this beast's numbers show! Can't wait.
