UPDATE:

A high res pic:

http://www.corvettesbyrickdaniel.com/C6Z06INFO.html

Flares are NOT bolted on, but are molded into the body.

Also a decent look at the wheels, if they are the productions wheels... look like a C5 Z06 wheel theme applied to the C6 wheel...

And, the taillamps look like they may be split in the middle, with the top being red, and the bottom being amber...

Not sure I like that at all, though it could be the cammo playing tricks.

One thing that is odd is that the rear glass doesnt look like it is a FRC Corvette?

Ya, the rumor is that the C6 "Z06" will have a similar (same?) roof line to the coupe, but will be much more distinctive visually from the base car than the C5 Z06 was as a whole....

Looks like the Z06 rear brake vents are back too.

For the record I hope the taillights arent split. That would be a very odd looking setup.

it looks like the tail lights are the same as on the other c6s, there must be something else being hidden there....doesnt the trunk line look a lot different? I know its been discussed that its possibly just the air lifting up the camo, but it would appear to have a lip spoiler of some kind.

It looks to me like the whole rear end will be different. Seems like it will be like the C4 curved back on the ZR1 as compared to the regular, more angular back of the coupe in 89'-91'. There is also a contour line on the rear facia that is showing through the camo that is not present on the base car. I think the side vents in back of the front tire will have more definition to them as well. It looks very promising to me. I wonder how much weight they would have saved if they stuck with the notchback body style.

In front of the LR wheel, it looks like there is a black form following the curve of the body. May just be a trick of the picture.
