Our tour guide for the plant tour yesterday hinted that the ZR1 would be debuted on Friday. Don’t know if he was speculating based on the past two reveals with the Z06 and ERay or they had been told that would happen. Also, he confirmed what we already knew that they have been building CTF ZR1’s the past couple of months.

but hopefully it’s not just the camo car we have all see already and it’s actually the revealed car.

While I would love for it to be fully revealed, I doubt it. According to GM, we haven't seen the camo cars running around, so this is their "sneak peek" to us.

Wonder if the ZR1 max kill aero will be a new Z07 package then? Doubt it.

They really did all that for an AGM aftermarket spoiler car?

Fooled me. I think it was "cute" that they had the front hood popped open to make it look like it could be the ZR1 hood.

Did people really think the ZR1 would be revealed at a random parking spot at this event? Must've forgotten how the Stingray, E-Ray, and Z06 reveals went.

Conti pulled a similar BS marketing ploy prior to the Z06 reveal for views. Stunts like this do not help my perceptions of the brand or person.

Conti is a He was at NCM with a customer taking delivery when we were there last Summer, walking around acting like he owned the place.

I thought they might have a camo wrapped car there, but not the actual reveal.
