It looks to me like a hole for testing equipment to see through. The rest of the window is covered in camo.

I thought the Z28 was all about weight savings and such to be the fastest racecar it can be. So why the satellite radio sharkfin?

You just read my mind

Meanwhile, at Dodge....

...Big wings worked then, and they work now. The Z/28 is the best choice for a high wing spoiler....

Well, in the Superbird/Daytona's case..they wanted a lower spoiler but NASCAR rules at the time required the car to be as close to production stock as possible, which included being able to use the trunk. The spoiler/wing they wanted to use would have prevented the trunk lid from opening fully enough to load cargo, so they designed that wing so it would still be functional AND allow the lid to open.

Well the TF3 spoiler will be in style soon on my old 5th gen!

The 5th gen Z/28 had it too.

IMO, the spoiler is temporary and obviously very adjustable so they can determine the right configuration. Once they have it they'll put that configuration into a better integrated design.

It's really really easy to get hyped up and making increasingly grand claims, but we know precious little about this car to be making any kind of prediction about what cars it's going to be beating, much less "supercars".

I totally understand where you're coming from.

However, I will bet my paycheck that this car will outrun the GT350R at any race track! This car would have to be severely under powered to get outrun by the Ford.

I'm not sure a 1LE with this aero wouldn't handle the GT350R

I know it can be deceiving but that thing looks like it has some serious negative camber, especially in the rear.

I think the spoiler is motorized adjustable - shown in the picture may be just fixed prototype to try the different angles, but finished product may be adjustable like on McLarens.....

Dark tail lamps!

There's got to be some video of it on the track....I'll bet we won't have to wait for very long....
