Doesn't look like it says CAMARO on the fender.
CTS-V calipers.

That's what I originally thought but then the up close side shot looks slight different... or am I imagining things?
Carbon fiber?

I'd be all for Chevy bringing back the red outline bowtie back.

My money says the badge on the front fenders under the black tape says "SuperCharged" There appear to be a lot of characters covered up and hence what appears to be a smaller size font to get it to fit in that location.
Also do the rotors appear to be two piece?
And...why is the bottom of the car camo'd with the checker pattern. They usually do that to trick the eye into not seeing body lines. I looked real close but do not see anything unusual . Are the rear fenders flared at all to accommodate wider rubber?

Good suggestion. I just went back and looked at the pictures and I stick by my first thoughts. I think they are trying to hide something. There isn't a consistent scale for measuring velocity. Still I'm not an expert. I imagine it's easier but more expensive to use accelerometers for those types of measurements.

the backup sensors are hidden, YAY!
i doubt the supercharged script on the side, im more concerned with what they mean by #2. test mule 2, test mule model type 2? mayeb its supposed ot keep me busy and not notice the lack of trying to get rid of the sharkfin antenna. whose idea was it to put such baller-pimp wheels on that thang?

The point here is that it's probably both easier and less expensive to use accelerometers.
GPS would work too.

I think it's pretty safe to say, while "confirmed" isn't the right word to use, that the car Camaro5 was going crazy over is a Z28 in testing. I can't think of any other possible reason why they'd test it with a GT500.
