Using a current model year mule cut down on cost and development timing especially when there was only a limited number of full protypes available to work on.
I now work for a supplier company and we had a Z28 in our garage but it had a different back end. The lights in the back were shaped differently. It had other slightly different exterior features. I have some pics on my iPhone. It could have been just a test mule or it could have been a full prototype I don't know.

I agree with you. There could be a ZR1 engine with a dry sump or just a supercharged LS3. The pictures look like a generic 2ss with different brakes and four tailpipes. I think the finished version will look a lot different and kind of like the difference between the C6 and Z06. I exspect to see wider fenders front and back with wider tires of course. It will be supercharged and have some suspention upgrades for the added HP. Mabe even some carbon fiber components or body parts. All the speculation is making me dizzy. I am so happy with the 2SS I have now that I have no erge to buy a new Z28. Let me know when it's ready.
