Great shots.......

I'm not sure if I like the way the backend looks as much without the vents. Still nice, but I hope the vents come standard.

Humidity? I know better places than here to test that. They just wanted to take this Baby to beach for the day. Can you blame them?

You know what though, it does rain here like cats and dogs once a week now doing the end of the winter. I'm sure they will need to see how it does on dirt roads too. We got tons of those. I think it should rain tomorrow or Saturday. All I know is I got my Cannon with me at all times. My first order of business would be to touch the material the lights are made of.

Funny how though I'm totally convinced those are not the true headlights, just because they are so not proportionate to the fogs, but you just wanna do more investigating and just reasure yourself that those aren't real.

Guys. I know what this headlight thing is like. You know how we all get to the bar and start checking out girls and say "real" or "fake". Most of the time we can tell just by looking then sometimes we say, "Hum, I can't tell, maybe if I felt them." I don't know. What do you think? That's just me.

I love this car so much!

I guess it kind of makes sense...since they're not taking it to shows, why not put a couple all over the roads so when someone on the road sees it, they'll be in absolute awe

They are testing the car under humid conditions.

That is exactly what my grandpa said about it this afternoon when I showed him the pictures.

I think he is settling for black with silver stripes though.

I sent myself a video one time from my cell. First I emailed the video to my own email on the computer, then saved the video and uploaded it to YouTube. It's simple really. Be sure to let us know if and when you can get the video up and running! That would be awesome!

I was kind of wondering about this myself... I mean, I'm not a car guru or anything. But, if they are using an engine that has been previously used in different vehicles (i.e. Corvette), why are they testing the engine to see how it does in humid conditions? If it is an engine already in production, wouldn't they already know how it reacts to humidity?

That is a very good assumption, but the fact that the body style is different, they need to test that the air is getting into the airbox efficiently enough to feed the engine. Then again I recall Fbodfather saying we should "forget what we know about engines" I have a feeling were going to get the first Gen V, or maybe some sort of 4.5 haha
