well here we go again. These do look alot more realistic then the others, so perhaps it is true.

Because RC is, well RC, I took the pictures down, its not worth fighting him about something that will never happen. I forgot that RC was an expert lawyer... Being that there is nothing illegal about posting pictures of a freakin car, but obviously RC is right and I and my law student friends are wrong, I am removing the pictures. I'm taking a few others advices and just doing what RC says as to avoid dealing with his stuff for the rest of my life. Mostly, I just dont want to get Jabba into any sort of trouble or have him put on GMs radar, as I have nothing but respect for him and his forum.

HOLY SCHNIKES!

Here are millions of dollars of development and thousands of hours of work laid bare for us to ogle. This Corvette caught by Fast-Autos.net forum member, Chikara83, definitely has some trick bits on it and apparently it's the real deal. There's a liquid/liquid intercooler perched atop the V8, and where the alternator used to be sits a supercharger. We can't tell what type of huffer it is, though -- positive displacement Roots-type or centrifugal.

The hood and front quarters are wearing camouflage to cover changes in those panels. The low-pressure area behind the front wheels makes the perfect location for extractors, which are likely fed by the high pressure area at the base of the windshield. Together they provide a good path through the engine bay for extra cooling air. That's a nice, tidy explanation for why the camo is where it is, too, so we're going with it. There's also a vent in the leading edge of the rear quarter panel, which we presume is for rear brake cooling. The burning question that everyone wants to know has finally been answered: the interior (of the mule, at least) is still kinda cheap. We are gonna be so embarassed if this is Winding Road messing with us again.

Many thanks to tipster Chris.
