More mental masturbation for the masses.

Tail lights

If the rear lamps are oval it is a 2016.

I was just about to say something in those lines

Always a possibility....

I was driving the C5 on the Generals desert proving ground 2 years before it's release with it's Aurora side mirrors, zebra camo and vinyl covers so not completely out of the question. As long as it's not a twin turbo V6, who cares!

I don't see why a 2016 would already be at this advanced stage of testing when the 2014 is a new generation. More likely it's a late 2014 Z06 or a 2015... (?) JMHO...!

That's the most pertinent point yet.....

Nice to go on and on about future models but let's enjoy the oncoming greatness of the new Stingray as it goes. The new Z-cars will then be a treat for all - except Porsche otfl

boring

These cars need headers and side pipes stock, and a rumble.

I would suggest we all watch the Detroit Auto Show the 1st of the year. Z07 just might be announced as a 2015 with something in the area of 550-575hp and not the 600+ others have predicted.
Will the Z07 have an optional 8-speed dual clutch tranny? Hmmm.... I've found that if you watch what Porsche does, the Corvette will follow many of their ideas. EVEN to the lousy front plate
situation on the C6 (very similar to the Porsche).

Can't wait to see it !
It should be bad azz

 

[Hib Halverson]

Actually, it WILL be announced at the NAIAS, but it will be the 2015 Z06 with a 650-hp, 6.2L supercharged LT4 Gen V V-8.

 

[elegant]

I like that, and with your track record Hib, looking good for that monster motor.

650 hp would be very nice on a new Corvette.
