Nice, quite a bit of information there... -
Nobody watching the store… ?Comment

Plot twist: The people behind the video are GM employees and they were given permission to post this. I mean probably not, but it is possible lol. Also, this is more proof in my opinion that those side intakes have fake panels and that they are going to look completely different when we see them next month.Last edited by Bluevette; 06-09-2019, 07:50 PM.Comment

I agree. As I have said, My renders (and others) are based mostly on the eyewitness accounts...which could be mistaken or misleading or true!
Here is a detail from the video that shows a strange cross bar that seems to cut down and in at the top... not unlike the new Mclaren GT at the top break of the scoop... very strange indeed.
The bottom edge and section (if true) does seem to lean back and looks fairly straight again not unlike the c8R and Mclaren.
Anything is possible and should prove very exciting in about 5 weeks!

Looks like an older mule, the headlights look like the C7 style horizontal not vertical design. More propaganda to throw everyone off. Also seems like they intentionally didn’t show the mirrors, interior or the engine bay and I’m sure there’s not going to be a huge gap in the side air intake...FUNNY 😀😀😀Last edited by Richrat; 06-09-2019, 09:47 PM.Vette's owned: 99 Sebring Silver Convert - 10yrs, 2008 Crystal Red Convert,w/cam, longtubes and Vortech supercharger.

Cool to see another "impromptu" spy shot! Actually wondering if this was an intentional leak to keep us all "happy" while we wait.
A bit like the old Italian restaurants that would give you a small slice of pizza, or a fried ravioli or two while you were waiting in line to get seated. Just an appetizer (and great gesture from the owners)... a taste of what's to come, but certainly intended to NOT spoil one's appetite!

FVS, I trust your judgement, this video seems totally set up to me. I cannot make out anything new we haven't seen before. If you did notice anything new please point out what is so different. My guess is if any normal car enthusiast got close to a C8 you would have a more revealing video of the interior, the engine bay...Something, not a run by showing a big gap in the air intake between the body and the radiator.Originally posted by fvs View Post
My 2 cents,

I don't think that's a cross bar. I'm going to speculate that's actually the top part of the side scoop that goes up from there to form the curve over the rear fender which would also seem to mean the the "fang" or "shark tooth" on the door is all fake and the scoop begins immediately aft of the door line. Again, IMO.Originally posted by fvs View PostI agree. As I have said, My renders (and others) are based mostly on the eyewitness accounts...which could be mistaken or misleading or true!

I agree, I just referred to it as a cross bar to describe the structure. It is lower than the door handle triangle we all know and love. ; )Originally posted by foreignbishop View Post
