Default Pretty sure I just saw and heard the new Z06


Didn’t notice the covered car at first, was too busy looking at the yellow one. When they were leaving I noticed how wide the tires were. I swear it sounded like a manual transmission. The yellow car had computers set up for monitoring. Didn’t really think about it being a Z06 till I heard it leave. Didn’t look in the blue one. This is just outside of Sedona AZ.
High quality video at post 45......finally.

Finally got an email to go through to my son. Hope this better. It shows 1080p. The internet where we’re staying is barely 2mb. Just terrible.

Looks like side skirts on it that Stingays don't have.

They were probably headed for the switchbacks on 89A going up to Flagstaff. It climbs to 7000' above sea level.
I want the test driver's job!

Even in a slimming black skirt, those fenders look a little chubby.

If you want to see the video you can look at the corvettes of southeast Missouri Facebook page. If I did this right, here.

Covered wheels may indicate its running Carbon Fibre rims. No rear wing -- probably retractable. Three exhaust tips?

Wouldn't it be interesting if that was actually the "E-Ray", those exhaust pipes were faux, and the engine sounds were being played over a loud speaker....

Dang it, you are right...

If you look closely, there's a guy in the gas station behind a bush, with both hands over his head with a bullhorn in one and tape recorder in the other!
