What color are those calipers on the first pic? And I'm torn between the low spoiler and the high wing! 🤔

That does look nice!

The calipers seem like Cooper color? And in the 3rd pic there looks like front hood vents? Could be optical illusion or just wishful thinking on my part.

More random thoughts, what if the Great 'CHAZCRON' decided to show up and post renderings of the new Corvette C8 Z06 based on these photos.....

What's HE up to these days?

Chazcron would nail it with these photo's. Actually, it wouldn't be much of a challenge for him as he was working from the CAD images before.

And that first photo appears to be Alex McDonald talking to Oliver Gavin that uses a black helmet.

Can we get the largest possible or best detail possible picture of that 2nd shot? That seems to be headed for the wall...


I did not notice UNTIL NOW those large unscreened scoops on either side of the front plate area....it seems like it can swallow small birds without issue!


Love the tow hook on the passenger side of the plate too...


Super photo....
