Sweet pics from LS1tech member

http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=879881

I spotted this car on Fletcher Ave. At first I thought it was the new Challenger, until I got closer. I attempted to use my camera phone, and narrowly missed side swiping it.

They pulled into an office complex to turn around, I decided to follow, and in the process got the horn/middle finger combo from the guy behind me. ops: I had to talk my way past the security guard to get in, but it seemed to work. The drivers allowed me to take pictures as long as I didn’t take any of the interior. They also would not talk about the motor, but said I will not be disappointed.

The car has a very aggressive look to it, and it was rolling on 20 inch rollers.(275 rear 245 front) The brakes looked a dwarfed behind the wheels. I don’t know if that was because of a smaller wheel on the v6 or if big brakes are an upgrade.

My memory card got full when taking the front nose pic. It had the z06 scoop on the hood. Use your imagination on this one.

The engineers told me they had shipped the car down here from Detroit to test it out in the humid weather we have here. The passenger had a laptop with some type of monitoring software.

I wanted to talk to them more about the car, but the security guard was yelling at me for blocking traffic. He seemed pretty upset for a guy making $9 an hour.

The car sounded good as they throttled it out of the parking lot!

Edited to have more info for those who don't want to have to visit another site to come back to this one to talk about it.

Those are without a doubt the best pics of a mule yet. Thanks for posting it!

I wish he had a pic of the front. Do you think the car will come with Pirelli's as standard equipment?

WOW....very nice. We finally see the fuel door. IMO, the 20's look good, not too big as discussed in another thread. The back looks mean (except for the trailer hitch of coarse).

Those guys have a REALLY tough job...driving around in a 5th gen.

Maybe it's just me... but the car looks REALLY small!!! (Which I love!)

Man, what a beauty! Wheels look great!

The panel gaps look excellent...

except...

Look at the lower rear corner of the back side quarter glass, it looks like it doesn't fit right at all... or maybe... just maybe... it pops out??? Hopefully, it's not 100%.

I like how the dash looks. Looks like there is still some tape over the gauges?

I'm liking the black.

I wonder if the trailer hitch comes standard.
