The front fenders are different too, theres a pic on digitalcorvettes.com somewhere without the camo.

 

Looks good like the wheels, front better than rears. I'm too hoping the body is a bit more aggressive than the Z06. I'm thinking more of the C6R body grafted for the street. it has the brakes and powerful engine give it the body.

 

Looks like a platform prototype used for the suspension amd or engine testing. All the covered stuff. No need for the body to look like a Camaro or anything to give it away. The more testing GM does the better it is for us buyers.

 

You know someone posted that a Chevy lumina was spotted states side. There was a big discussion that basically amounted to they were testing the Lumina state side for something. I bet in reality it was this Camaro Mule and we all missed it! Scott said we probably wouldnt recognize it, but I figured it would be a US vehicle. I was guessing CTS. I wouldnt have guessed this...


btw look at the width!

 

...as well as polycarbonate "window" in the hood...

God, I'd hoped this wasn't going to be. This has to be one of, if not the worst idea ever to "grace" a Corvette. Crossfire injection was a better idea...

 

man this thread has ADD....

Anyway, I hope that the "window" is not going to make production. That has to be the single worst design element on any GM vehicle ever.

 

I guess we can thank Ferrari for that.

I wonder if that window is just being used during the testing? I could see if the engine was something beautiful to look at that you'd want to show it off, but who wants a clear hood so you can show off your plastic engine covers?

 

I like the window on mid engine cars... but it'd look like crap on a front engine car.

 

wrong. Look again... CLOSELY. Ill give you a hint, its the Camaro Mule from Aussie in the Lumina skin, spotted in the states.

LOL yeah really. so which window and on which car?

 

Talking about this clear "window" on the hood of the engine of the ZR1 that will display the engine.

 

I'll give you a hint: I got it the first time.

I was trying to be funny in response to the "cormaro" comment. I think this board's sense of humor has faded some recently.

 

Ah ok. Do you think it could just something that serves a purpose on the mule?

Sorry bout that

only toward the end can you really hear the car since you mostly hear the camera car.

Is it just me, or does the rear hatch look to be CF also?

If GM would have gone ahead and put an aftermarket cowl induction hood on it and then painted the entire car the same color, then NOBODY would have noticed it.

 

Sounds good at the end. I'm not sure if the slight whine before it gets to the camara is the SC or a car passing. Make no mistake when it passes it sounds very Z06'ish
