You guys do realize there are no "Production" C7s out there.
This was one of the 3 test mules GM has been testing in AZ.

They all were all most likely destined for the crusher anyway.
They might keep one for the GM museum, but none of these cars would have ever ended up in the hands of the general public.

Hope nobody got injured....

...Should have been that 'Turbo' partiallyabortedcamaro concept. At least it went out in a "Hey dude, watch this!" moment.. ;_;

Lol, you can't buy the car yet. It was a test driver. Feel free to crucify him if you so feel though!

Careful... That car is made for a kids movie and therefore you're not allowed to insult it

The thread on corvette7.com mentioned the picture was taken on a mountain. I'm guessing this picture was taken on Mt. Lemmon, which is located directly north of Tucson, AZ. Pre-production video of the ZL1 was shot in December 2011 on Mt. Lemmon just before its release to the public. I wouldn't be surprised if GM was doing some test drives here too....

Standard crash testing procedures. Nothing to see, carry on...

Captain Awesome · 02-13-2013, 03:26 AM

Are you guys sure that the Chevy hating "mountain cow" isn't behind this one too?

Ken_ · 02-13-2013, 03:27 AM

It'll buff out, no problem!

Brian 1LE SS · 02-13-2013, 05:08 AM

The Camaro needs that color.

AdamZ · 02-13-2013, 05:18 AM

I'll still take it..

Brutal SS · 02-13-2013, 06:46 AM

A beautiful color too!

I'm sure the guy that was driving it isn't too concerned. The video that was on here when this one, along with the other two were "Spotted in the Wild", shows that three GM engineers were the ones driving all three. They'll just go back and pull another one out of the warehouse. No biggie!
