The front and rear tires look to be the same size in the pictures. The 1LE were square sized but ZL1 tires were off set, 285 front 305 rear.

You guys think they would release the ZL1 at Detroit? The way this is Camo'd up im' guessing they plan on keeping the secret for a while longer. I think they may go the same way they did with the Gen6. No autoshow debut, and reveal it at some racetrack in michigan somewhere!
God I hope i'm wrong!!

They could reveal the coupe. It's been testing for months now.

This is my concern as well, but Bhobbs has a valid point too, so there's still hope.

Convertibles are usually released 6 to 8 months after the coupes.

Chevy has a press conference. They already showed the Bolt and Cruze hatch. Unless there is a Zora/ZR1 or Grand Sport Corvette they've been working on, what else could they have for Detroit?

Could also be a lambda baby update, or the E-ray nameplate we say, not sure what the detroit standard is (passenger, high volume, hipo, etc)

I'm pretty sure the C7 Stingray and Z06 were shown at Detroit. Unless there is a new C7, it would make sense to have a Camaro model shown. Especially considering how long ago we first saw the LT4 Z** and 1LE being tested.

Since the Nurburgring cars back in september only had vinyl it is kinda weird, but what we just saw this week is a vert so maybe they felt it would benefit them somehow or they've made addition body panel changes they don't want seen...

or they have had this proto sitting around with camo on it for months and just haven't taken it off.

I was looking at Brembo's site and comparing to the posted Chevy Camaro parts, I think they are floating design, the bobbins have a spring tension that holds the hat firm so no clanking noise.
