Wow, that shot through a window and through trees and a steel beam is doing a better job selling the car than the press pic. Red Mist is legendary.

The shoulders look amazing.

This may be why Chevrolet released the photo - controlled release instead of feeling like someone "scooped" them...

4 big Center exhausts. Looks to be at least 4 inches in diameter.

Would be curious to see if they are fake tips or real.

I think in person the ZO6 side scoop will look awesome. Then in 5 - 7 years the early critics will once again be outraged when GM drops the wishbone molding on the C9 side scoops.

This must be why they released the official photo, Guess they wanted to get ahead of the spy shots we were about to see due to this filming.

Well at least we know a 958.1 Turbo can keep up with the Z06.

That angle demonstrates clearly how much larger the side scoop is. In person it will set the Z06 apart from the base car.
The reveal can't come soon enough!

Looks good to me. It’s amazing what a difference a color change and better angle can make.

Like most cars, there’s a thing or two about the styling that I’d prefer was different. But so far so good. I’m still a buyer.
