The taping of the video screen of the car going around the track made it look like a replay on Gran Turismo.

I was hoping for more body changes than a bulged hood and small rear spoiler, I know there is other minor body changes too but how about a different nose with a more aggressive air damn and air intake.

20" rims?

Is this car 100% production?

Pretty much. Though the seats still had the "Z06" embroidery on them.

I doubt the the wheels (style) is production, that is usually one of the final things that is kept under wraps until the offical unveiling.

Those wheels however do look really close to the wheels the C6R uses.

Looks like it runs well. However, If GM plans to charge over $100k for that thing they had better do more to make it stand out from the C6 and Z06. More than rims, a hood and a spoiler.

I have a feeling since the car was in the open like that it was more of a ZR1 powertrain mule with some body enhancements for testing.

Thats what I want to know. I would be cool if this was a fire across the bow of the Ferrari and Porsche guys that were there showing them what they were going to be up against.

No, but it was passed by the GTR twice in one lap.

Since the wheels have Corvette centercaps, I'm going to say they ARE in fact production.
