Bad choice of words on my part. Definitely Vett flags. But why show them and in that pattern? Is this an Easter Egg that GM is showing? What does it mean?

Its tire tread. I don't think there is any hidden meaning behind it.

If you look closely you can almost make out the words.

You don't have to look real hard to see a race track. So anyone who doesn't think this is a very track friendly car had better think again. No boulevard cruiser here. Doesn't mean the Walter Mittys with $s won't be buying one, just that they are in for a surprise.

It's possible that it's doing exactly what the marketing folks designed it to do: getting people to watch and talk about their ad video.

they got you good.

Maybe the Z07.. but the Z06 will be an appeal to the person wanting next level corvette. That formula was too good last gen.

You have to be careful you don't flop it. No matter the hype. Its how this Z06 was reborn again in C5.. decontented corvettes don't sell as well as loaded ones. Its why 2Lt made such a big jump and gm won't even let you get LUMBAR in a 1LT..

I found it interesting that the emblem(s) at the very top left have an interesting color scheme to them.

That's just chromatic aberration... in tune with the glitch theme of the video, including the hidden sketch at :01, :04, :13, :14, :34 (found in the thread by @thequeb )
