I think thats just a blue Z06. The hood isn't tall enough to clear a supercharger.

I saw that picture months ago. It's just a z06 with black wheels. You can even see the z06 badge.

I have to agree, theres no room for the supercharger. Unless its and ATI procharger.
I was under the impression that it was going to have a heat extracting hood to make room for a large capacity Magnusson. I could be wrong, or my source could be wrong.

They had the exact same car a while ago in like car and driver or something like that that was supercharged. The article said although they didnt see the blower the whine of a SC was undeniable present, and it was def the same car. I dunno though if it had a diff hood but it was the same color and wheels.
