Looks like crap.

I hate the idiots who styled it.

I'm certain the real deal in person and in a different color will look much better.
match body color option for a smoother look same as the scar on the stingray

Yes. Can you photoshop just the tail off and have the V come together at a sharp point like the R?

Who'd have thought this crappy render would be closest...

I would normally agree, but in his video today he said that he actually saw the engine (along with other aspects of the car). If you take him at his word, he knows something we don't right now.

I think you need to look closer at the C8R. They are certainly there, and there is a black section painted to line up with the aero components. You are right that there is a little triangular point on the Z06 that is not on the R, though.

Historically, has it been possible to get the z07 aero packages on the z06 without buying the full z07 package?

That's what I'm talking about... not the upturned "tusks" on the lower bumper. Yes both have those tusks.

The green line you drew is obscuring that photo. There is black paint on the exterior of that "cheek" that changes the angle from appearing more vertical to instead raked more forward. Its subtle but enough for the eye to see it. The Z06 doesnt have that characteristic in the paint but probably will when you add the aero, like the race car does. The little notch is definitely new.



They arent exact but you can see what I'm talking about here.

The picture does not do the car justice. While not as dramatic a departure from the base car as we all want, the larger side scoop and fenders, along with larger tires will be evident in person. Certainly, the Z07 will be more aggressive. I really like this color combination.

The corner of the racecar matches the corner of the Stingray. This new corner attribute is unique to the Z06.

Color me disappointed. I’m really happy I picked up my Redeye. Looks like I’m sticking with a C7 and a silly rare muscle car.
