This is what I see...tell me if I'm wrong or if you see more

-new styled headlights
-gap between top of air dam and hood (hood scoop?)
-opening in rear fender
-opening at back of front fender (can't tell from this pic, but most likely as it is a vette)
-overall wider fenders
-Massive meats in the rear

Grille opening looks larger to me as well. Check out this standard C6 pic in comparison:

Take a closer look at the front grille - could that be an oil cooler slightly visible in there? Maybe for a dry sump setup like the early rumors suggested?

Nothing official anywhere and probably won't be for a while. Speculation is anywhere from $55k-$75k. If there do end up being two versions and paddle shift like some suggest you may see one at the lower end of that range and one at the higher end of the range. Anybody's guess at this point, though.

i like the front end in that sketch, the fog lights look kinda like the ones on the front of the t/a. i think the bigger front air dam opening will look great. nice back tires too! someone is already making those rims for sale, they look killer.

I know this pic is an older one, but it appears to be the same car or at least the same configuration as the latest pic. I think its valid here because, although poor quality, it gives us some more visibility of cues not seen in the new pic.

What we thought was shadow or otherwise in this older pic now appears to be entirely due to the rear brake ducts. Also the red calipers (possibly Brembos similar to the CTS-V?) are visible here, but not in the new pic. Most importantly, though, it gives more insight into the roof design.

If nothing else studying both pics, IMO, allows for a better mental picture...

I hope all Z06's come with dark headlights.

It looks so much better than the lame body colored lights.
