Next Super Vette seen in Detroit

Last Sunday I saw the next (to be announce) Super Vette in Troy Michigan near the Somerset Collection (upscale mall). At first I just saw the rear quarter from a distance and I thought someone had trashed a Z06. Once he turned the corner I could see that it was the new Super Vette. It appeared to be a white Z06 with polished stock wheels, but... it had the typical black vinyl camo on the rear quarters, entire rear bumper, front fenders and the HOOD! The Hood has a bubble that appeared 6" tall, but I know the 2" raised C5 & C6 hoods always appear much higher so realistically probably a 3-4" raise. The entire hood was under drapped black camo so it was hard to see any detail other than its big and everyone will notice no matter who's grandmother it is.
Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures but I did immediately call my inside source to confirm its being driven on the street, which it has been for at least a week now.

WOW..thanks for the scoop Wally!
Were you able to hear the sound of the exhaust?

No, couldn't hear the exhaust, but considering the conditions (my truck windows were up & open exhaust underneath) I wouldn't have expected to. I didn't really notice anything unusual about the quad exiting exhaust pipes either but I was surprised the entire rear end was hidden under black camo. 4k photo's this year and I missed this one... I'm still kicking myself.

This looks like another one of the test mules, the one I saw was white, the camo on the front was in similiar locations but the entire rear was also covered.

Only 1500 - 2000 of them to be built that first year. Man, no MSRP there!

About how many Z06's does the General build every year? 6000?

MSRP may be so high there won't be room for much extra markup from the dealers. Demand will fill fast at 100m+. Big dealers may get away with it but a lot of small dealers won't want them in inventory.

Small dealers will never get their hands on the Stingray SS.
