From "Ranger" on Digital Corvettes:
There is an sighting report on the Viper Forum which stated that the roof he saw was black...on a white C6 Z06:
"car was mostly undisquised white/black roof, some details on the body were not as clean as the final cars(at NAIAS an press intro at local dealer Cauley Lemans winning C5R there and all along w/ those really rare Callway cars that got sold a Barrett-Jackson in Jan.) Notable differences are LARGE wheels and tire(much bigger than stock size), different rear and front brakes larger also and cross drilled (dont remember about the stocker), different exhaust tips looked like a Corsa(they might make the titanium set up for the current z06, not sure), the large rear tires were covered by a pop rivet style flare over only the top of the rear wheel(similar to the C4 Grand sport) flare from the '90's. and thats all you get. that and manufacturers plates with a very silent test/engineering driver. That and a great exhaust note. hope that helps more."
And another sighting report from Michigan (VCA Forum):
"Talked to the driver of the Z06 at the gas station while he was filling up. He was very closed mouth, but did admit that it was a Z06 prototype. They guy was Asian with a dirty white jump suit on. It had the name of his company but it was wrinkled and dirty and I couldn't read it. They guy wasn't helpful and he drove very conservatively. Car was white with extra wide tires, black roof, and huge exhaust pipes. It was in rough condition with extra gauges, felt tip writing on it, and very spartan interior. Guessing from the section of town this car has been seen in -- he's testing motor or electrical systems."

well those spy pics dont tell us shiet. there are really no body differences between a c5 z06 and a regular c5. so i dont think we will see any real differences until the car is completely reveiled. and all the important details are under the hood anyway.

Don't know about that, from the pictures I can tell it has wider fender-flares, revised front and rear fascia, and maybe a carbon fiber roof?... can't think of any other reason for it to be black....

And, you have that Oatmeal guy saying that that is indeed it. He is pretty good about his info.
