Default C6 Z06 or SS Vette?

****Sorry no pics****
On my way home from my cousin's wedding, on the local interstate, I spot, coming from the other direction, a yellow C6 Z06. Not just any ol' Z06, it had a hood scoop similar to the spy shots of the Blue Devil, it had larger vents behind the front tires. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming I've seen a non-camoed Blue Devil, but I have yet to see this type of body kit on a C6 Vette of any kind. It was not the Lingenfelter kit. The hood scoop was BIG, it sat a good 4-6 inches high, it had the stock Z06 scoop up front as well. Help me find this body kit. Post pics of various different ones, kinda like a police line-up and I'll point out the Perp.

Too bad you couldn't have gotten the cell phone camera on it for a shot. What else can you tell us about it? Did you hear anything ?? Was he cruising or speeding ? Last question, why didn't you cut across at a turn around and go after him to see what it was ??? I would've. Done it a few times and was rewarded with a couple good races for running them down. Cool siting. Can't wait to see one for myself. I only live 60 minutes from the GM proving grounds. I've seen a lot of new trucks with all the camo on them, but no blue devil. Lucky you.

The thing is I live in Greenville SC, why would it be here? I was on interstate 385, it was 4 lanes on my side, 4 on the other divided by a concrete median with some trees, nowhere to turn around, plus he was moving fast. And I was in my wife's Caliber, no shot of catching him, even if I was to get turned around. The hood looked like it could have been the Blue Devil hood without camo. I'd like to see more Body kits for Z06s and see if I spot it, so far Google hasn't turned up anything like it.

The hood has been confirmed to have this plexi-glass insert.



But the side scoops you posted are similar...

I saw those pics on DigitalCorvettes last night. I just wonder what other bodykits are available for the Z06 that look like what I saw. It definitely had a raised spoiler too.

Nope, not joking, why would I waste time to joke about that, anywho, it was more than likely a Lingenfelter Z06 after seeing some pics of that hideous hood scoop they put on it.

The hood does look good on a base C6, but not so much on the ZO6 model. Just my $0.02 of course.

That wasn't the hood, it was a taller scoop a good 4-6 inches high.

Yeah, i'm leaning more to that hood now. I had never seen that hood before the other day. I had seen the Base LPE C6 hood.
