Yea, but Dave Hill has said that the new Z06 would look significantly different than the base C6. When someone like Dave Hill hypes a car, GM had better deliver on that, because expectations will be very high.

 

a very credible person has said that the z06's heads will flow 370cfm. just to give you an idea.

 

Where are the rear brake ducts like those on the C5 Z06. I like them, I hope the C6 will have them too

 

It looks like it has something similar, just a little higher up on the fender than those on the C5 Z06

 

Great wheels choice ,much better then the last z06...AWESOME! ...Cobras & Vipers are gonna have there hands full w/ this one

 

i dont think its the looks that everyone is excited about. i think its more the fact that we are looking at pictures of a real car that actually exists; one which we all have great expectations for.

imagine how we would react if there were a picture shown to us that was so vague, it could be anything from a new ferrari to a new hummer, but we knew beyond any doubt that underneath the skin it was the new camaro.

 

Okay, I see them now. I thought they would be less subtle though...we'll see

 

That's quite a strect to say the C6 Z06 will have a 7000cc engine due to the fact that the 5700cc CTS-V WC GT engine uses a 7000cc block, only with a smaller stroke. What makes everyone think that the new Z06 will have it? Did I miss something? This block has been around for nearly over 8 years.

 

My guess is this is a powertrain or suspension test car. I wouldn't read too much into how the body looks. This could easily be a standard C6 body with the powertrain, suspension, etc of a Z06. The wheel size is probably correct. The presents of fender flares is probably correct, but these are not integrated well. The flares were probably tacked on to help hide the large wheels. Notice how the doors, fenders and quarter panels do not line up or blend well. The front grill would need to be functionaly correct so that engine cooling testing could be run. That is why you can see some mess sticking through on the front, but the rest of the front is very well covered. The roof may or may not have a targa top on the actual Z06.

If this car has a roll bar / cage it is probably for high speed testing at GM's proving grounds (this will not make it into production). They are pretty serious about saftey there. When very high speed testing is run, roll cages, fire suits, helmets, etc. are manditory. They will usually close that particular road / track to other cars and have rescue personel on stand by.

 

How much?
