Is the Corvette ZR1 in Monterey this weekend?
Well, based on the fact that BadBoyVettes has what appears to be a shot of it in its transporter, we have to wonder if that might indeed be the case. Standard-issue Z06es don't wear hood camo, nor do they rock the serious power dome clearly hiding beneath it in the photo above. Let's go into 100% speculation mode here for a moment:
- BBV follows the C6.Rs from race to race.
- The C6.Rs are in Monterey for the ALMS season-ender at Laguna Seca.
- The photo above is likely the ZR1, and hence was also probably taken at Monterey.
- The Velocity Yellow finish on the depicted car matches the C6.Rs base color.
- We're going to go out on a limb and guess that GM's going to have the disguised ZR1 at the race.
Well, probably at Monterey. BadBoyVettes is such a tease. We'll have to see what happens over the weekend.

Or, it's a BadBoyVettes shop car with an aftermarket hood, and they're taking it off their own trailer in order to cause some stir...

The seat design is different also.

I hope Saturday's race isn't the last hurrah for the C6Rs. Last I read they weren't competing in ALMS next year.

Speaking of the seats, can anyone get a better look at the logo ebmbroidered on the headrests?

I took a look, but it's just too pixellated to tell. It's unfortunate that in real life, unlike on CSI, things get blurrier as you zoom in instead of clearer. ;)

Lol, I love how on TV they just go "Lets have a closer look at that..." (or "Enhance!") and it magically works and it's in perfect detail, haha. Well, GM already has a lot of buzz built up around this car, this would be a nice tease.

Call me crazy, but I think the logo says "STS," (Super Turbo Sport) although it looks like it also could be SRS (Super Race Sport), SR6 (Street and Racing Z06), ZNS (whatever), or ZRS (obvious ZR-1 reference with gratuitous "S"). All I'm semi-sure of is that the last letter is either S or 6, and the first is either S or Z. The second letter looks like its either a R, a N, or a T,

Is that Vette pitching a tent?
Sorry, I just had to.

ummm, sorry thats me. haha
be really cool to see how this thing gets the power down and around the curves. i thought (and i could be way wrong) that the engineering team were having problems getting all that power to the wheels. go figure 600+ hp in a light car.

Check out the black roof.
Someone should take a shot of a Z06 at this distance to check if that's stitching is in fact different.

I'm 95% positive the seats say Z06 on them....
