C8 Vert spotted in Milford
Buddy was on his way home in Milford and spotted this. Said he talks to the driver for 5 mins and that he was a friendly guy. Didn’t have any details about the C8Z but at least my buddy is learning the right questions to ask.

don't understand the secrecy at this point other than more fanfare and publicity for another day. Wait ,I just explained the secrecy to myself.

I hope they get this out soon. It looks silly to have the car half covered like that. As if GM didn't show us the car at their own launch event.

Wasn't this car at the concourse last month at St Johns?

CF looks to be an option for the roof/buttresses. From the visualizer source code...
CONVERTIBLE TOP - RETRACTABLE PAINTED
CONVERTIBLE TOP - CARBON FLASH PAINTED NACELLS AND ROOF
CONVERTIBLE TOP - CARBON FLASH PAINTED NACELLS AND BODY COLOR

That’s cool they’re referring to them as “nacells”, reminds me of Star Trek. Unfortunately, they spelled it wrong, correct spelling would be “nacelles”.

Yep. The mirror can be switched between a normal mirror and an LCD screen showing what the camera sees. I'll bet a dollar that in the 'vert, the mirror automatically switches to "off" mode when the top is lowered. The camera's visibility won't be necessary because you won't have the roof and as much of the rear structure cluttering your view.
