Default Z06 Corvette - My own spy shots
I'm pretty sure this car is a hot rod version of the hot rodded Corvette Z06, maybe it's Just a 2007 or 2008. It was headed north into downtown Ann Arbor on Main Street heading towards the EPA testing center if I'm right.

I took the pictures at about 9:00 AM 11/02/06.





This car did not have manufacturer plates, and was being driven by a woman doing her best to ignore me.

Oh great, now it looks like GM has resorted to using cardboard and gaffer tape to cut costs down even more

Looks like a beast in the making

@ Kach - Nice pics! How did it sound?

Not much in the sound department to report as it was never opened up, traffic was kind of thick.

We were in a 45 mph zone, after a mile went to a 30 mph zone and then a stop light.

The truck-like rumble of a Viper V-10 was not there.

The whine of a supercharger was not there.

Remember, I was in a 29 year old air-cooled 911 with the windows up and no heat (shot heat exchangers). If there was any sound to hear, it was from my antique.

Should have sold your pics to a magazine. I'm pretty sure some US mag or website would have given you a few hundred bucks for those.

Looks like AutoWeek had much better pictures last month, but thanks.
