I've been seeing this floating around on a couple of websites. Most say this picture was from GM; on the Z06 forums it says the pics were removed as per the request of GM, so that tells you it's pretty accurate as to what it will look like.
Copy-paste from Z06 forums:
A couple of things seem odd, like the cast pistons while everything else is forged, but a lot of it could be truth.
**disclaimer - I'm not saying this is truth, just read it on a lot of other boards, and many are saying it has truth to it. May be real, may be a rumor, but it's a hot looking car nonetheless.**
