a heads/cam is too far of a stretch for 100 hp with it being driveable still
those wheels look a little weird though on the z06 though
maybe it's because they're black or something?

Re: c6 z06 spied

that car in the pic/article does not look like the other Z06 mules. The rims are different, the camo is not where the rear brake ducts will be and the hood isnt as heavily camoed. From what i have read on digitalcorvettes.com it could just be a drivetrain tester as it looks different than the other white flared fender C6 that was driving around.

not qouting or using info from anywhere, id assume so as well. Or it may jsut be a test bed for certain parts of the car. Since its obviously not as camo'd as the other car(s) it might just be testing certain things out.
