Hopefully it doesn’t look so “flat” like it does in that photo. If it is more of a metallic paint then I’ll probably like it. If not, I guess I’d probably go with Elkhart Lake Blue.

Saw one driving the opposite direction yesterday, so I didn't get a good look. Overall I'm not sure I like it, but I need to be able to walk around it before I make a decision.

Rumors are claiming active aero and a relocated exhaust (to improve sound) for the Z06.

More Z06 spy shots. The rear tires on that thing are massive.

There's a version running the rumored center exhaust too.

I find it interesting they are keeping it so heavily camouflaged when the C8.R is basically what Z06/ZR1 will be.

We don't know that for sure, but you're probably right.

I can see why they still want to keep some surprises. Everything about the rollout of this car has been fucked.

Right, it's just historically they've been very similar.

We'll see. My guess is they'll start a teaser campaign towards the end of this year, and then unveil it sometime around the 24 Hours of Daytona next year.

I really think it would have been some time this year, maybe with Le Mans. But....Covid.

It probably should have been for this year's Daytona, but....development delays, strike, and Covid.

Also saw one on 205 today. Looked like a bright silver. Now that I've seen it in person, I can say, it's a no for me. It's cool and all, but really don't like it.

I didn't think about it that way. I guess he could have just flipped it for profit.
