I was scared I was going to think it was "wayyy better" than a car I just bought, but I'm relieved and definitely satisfied with my purchase. The orginal pic from gmauthority looks bad, the tv show pic with "dusk edition" wheels are much better.

They would have been further ahead with "afterburner" style taillights. I wish my mailslot was functional so its cool there's a functional heat extractor, I just don't like the looks very much. Although, the hood will look a lot better wrapped in vinyl (ala 1LE) or in AGM, SIM or Black. It sticks out like a sore thumb on the red. I prefer my front bumper too, but I like edgier DRL area.

My jealousy will reside with... LS7? Z28? ZL1 side rockers (on 1LE's)? Other performance upgrades?

Sorry future owners... but if the 1LE isn't around for 2014 or if the Black 10 spokes go away, I'll be thrilled. Yeah, I'm like that.

My guess is it equals a free commercial. I don't think the majority of the same folks who watch this show = the folks who will be at the show tomorrow.

Plus tomorrow hopefully we see better pics, engine upgrades if any, and interior. I don't trust the tv site to give us the real specs.

Wheels are similar to mine, and obviously, similar to the Dusk edition (if they aren't the exact same thing). Mine are 18"x8" though.

I also want to see it with the Halos on. I can only hope they addressed the issue about the brightness of our halos

After looking again here is my take. Push that hood extractor UP and cut some T tops and some fender extractors and you have. Chevrolet version of a 5th gen Trans Am.

The sad thing is that "if" they do announce a Z28 I would not buy it based on this design.
