From C&D as well:
I think the "teardrops" are false vents!

-All models have a new grille/radiator arrangement and hood vents. Venting air out of the hood reduces total front-end lift for improved steering response at high speeds
-The front fender side coves also help vent underhood air pressure to reduce aerodynamic drag
-Models with the automatic transmission or Z51 Performance Package feature a functional vent on driver’s left side directing air over a heat exchanger for the transmission fluid and a similar arrangement on the passenger side that directs air
over a heat exchanger for the electronic limited slip differential
-Airflow through the differential and transmission heat exchangers exit through the aircraft-inspired taillamp vents and lower-rear fascia air outlets
-The Z51 Performance Package also includes brake-cooling ducts, a unique rear spoiler and additional air deflectors for enhanced track capability.

Z51 looks like the only way to go. When do we see prices?

Very good video, lots of great information. I really like the HID screen in the instrument panel. The overall interior looks very nice. From the clay model it looks like you'd have to bend your front license plate inorder to get it to fit properly?
