First Z06 mule spotted on trailer!

You may need to register to see this...

Looks like wheel flairs on all 4 corners and perhaps a unique high-rounded rear fascia, though it's hard to tell from the camo...

The flairs look pretty sweet though!

Fender flares! That is one fad that needs to get back in at GM. Man can you imagine a Z06 and a CTS Super V that both have them? It will (that's not an if statement) be the hardest decision I'll ever have to make!

I couldn't agree more with this statement. The GTO needs them more than gonorrhea needs penicillin.

YES! Im not the only one that thinks that fender flares are needed on more GM cars!! The GTO deffinatly needs them.

Its not a really great pic, buy you can deffinatly see the fender flares.
Hope the Camaro gets fender flares.

new z06 is gonna own so much!!! I love seeing all these spy pics of the car, then the road test ones, then the actual car. Without the net I would probably be cluless as to what the new vette would look like till i see one on the street. I cannot wait till the first spy shots of the new camaro start rolling out now!!!!!!!!

BTW, if you guys remember months ago, we saw pictures of a test C6 with fender flares bolted on. This ain't the first time.

When I went to LimeRock Park I snapped this picture of the GTO they were running. The flares are pretty exaggerated and would never end up on a production car but it gives an idea of what it might look like.

Those flares look AWFUL.
That's one of the things I like so much about the 4th gen Camaro body style, the body is form fitted over the chassis. The fenders are sculpted and CLEAN, without those hideous repeated wheel arch lines like the Mustang. YECH. These tacked on flares are just gross, like the ones on the Corvette GS ten years ago.

You know what it kind of looks like to me? The rear end covers usually will have a mesh semi-transparent cover over the tail lights for obvious reasons.

However, the tail lights look very similar to the Callaway C4's.

I didn't like the Callaway look too much either. The front end bumper cover made the car look like a catfish to me.
