Lightning strikes twice...
Yup, Just under 2 years ago, I got a hot tip that base model C8s were testing in the mountains where I live. Well it happened again yesterday, uploading and editing, say tuned...
Yes, this is a teaser!
I'll put together a few more clips of the more "spirited stuff" soon...

We've seen "spy" shots of camo'd C8s with 4 center exhaust tips, two large in the middle and two small outside those. Those are almost certainly twin-turbos with the 2 smaller pipes for the wastegates.
The cars in the photo in the OP have 4 tips at the corners, so probably not the twin turbo cars.
