Default Multiple Mid engine C8s spotted outside Grand Rapids

Got these pics outside Amway in Ada. There were 5 mid engine cars total and 2 C7s with Manufacturer plates.

They always travel with a pair of refrigerant trunks in their convoy in case of overheating…

Those cars are getting around based on the number of threads with pics of the cars in them. Looks like they are making progress with the testing.

Too soon for disappointing Nürburgring times?

Talked to a "friend" at GM and he stated that these are the early mules that are out and about getting miles put on them in real world driving situations. Standard procedure....

They look like IVER cars. The ones we saw earlier (which had cut up front and rear ends) looked like MULEs.

IVERs now means in showrooms in 24 months. So MY2020, CY 2019.

I hope those aren't the wheels they are going with. They remind me of tire rack after markets
