The 2015 Z06 stages 1,2,3 all have different spoilers and the design is changing and being tested in the real world now. Stage 1 formerly used the Z51 spoiler, but that has been enlarged for Stage 1.

Are these truly recent pix? The Z06 is known to the world now, so I'm surprised the test cars still have "zebra tape" all over them. I can help with the wheels: those are the optional Cup wheels from the last couple of years of C6 production and were available variously on Gdand Sports and Z06s.

These are recent pics.
Testing new spoilers for more downforce. Possibly new aero as well. Hence the reason for the camouflage.

Perhaps they are just reusing one of the earlier engineering cars from pre-reveal to save on some costs. It does look a little rough around the edges. It will be intersting to see how the final versions compare to the pieces seen on the show cars.
