      Looks like it corners flat, that’s encouraging.
      Glad they left a place on the front fascia for a license plate.
      There is a madness to my method!

                  So far, this is my favorite ME on track picture, showing it cornering at speed. Foretelling the future, whether on one’s favorite country road or actually racing it, more of this is excitedly on the way.

                      Here's an interesting comparison for fun: C8 and Lamborghini Aventador SV Jota, both in camo, both at Nürburgring. To my eyes, the Vette looks really nice in this comparison!

                              The more I look at the car from the side and think about that fake panel, the more I believe that the actual side intake looks just like the one on the C8.R. The shapes at the top and bottom are identical

                                      SHUCKS!!! I was really hoping that once they got the 'vert' up to speed on the track, the camo over the rear window would blow off and we'd get a peek at the design.... Oh well, I guess were just another day and one step closer to the actual unveiling.
                                      2020 HTC Torch Red with lots of goodies. Built in September. Museum Delivered in October......

                                                  Is it just me or does that roof line look very cramped and tight in these pics? I realize they are helmeted, but this new version better have a cabin that accommodates us taller folk.

                                                          We saw that the coupe has a double bubble roof line, the Ht does not. Might the coupe consequently have more head room? It sure looks like it.

                                                          What we do not know is whether the two in the car pictured with their helmets on are 6’3” or ???
