That is just a test mule. Just a C6 with Z06 rear body panels. rasied hood for the SC.

GM is keeping the real one under lock and key and giving very little info. Just general stuff.

Probably will look different than these photos.....Hope so

Ceramic brakes. Might be able to pick up a used Z06 for a more reasonable price when this puppy comes out.

I just saw that Nissan is price the GTR EVO-spec at $94,000. The 3000lb 650hp ZR-1 should slap it silly.

We will know the name for sure at the the Detroit Auto Show this year....so for now it is just rumors and speculation.

To each his own, though putting 650whp through the rear wheels will make it a hairy drive compared to the GT-R.

That car is going to need a pro to control that rear wheel drive monster. The average person will spin out when they are trying to test it's limits. C6 ZO6 is already a handful. It takes a skilled driver to get the most out the ZO6.
