Anyof you seen this. I think it's the new ZL1. Real nice until you get to the hood. GM has decided to go a little ricer on us. It has a clear part of the hood so you can see the engine. Total hookey, besides all you can see is the engine cover and not the engine. Wonder if you were buying one if you could opted out of the clear hood. I don't think this was a concept. I beleive it's the new C6.

Sounds like a show version only to me.
We do that with our machines. Lots of extra windows for show machines only.

I believe what you're describing is the new 2009 ZR1. (The clear part of the hood is the clue, as that is what the hood of the ZR1 is like.) Google the 2009 ZR1 and you'll get plenty of photos.

Bryan has it right. Clear panel to define the engine detail is stock on the 2009 ZR1. Here is another article.....

I stand corrected.
Clear window on the hood is standard.
My Bad.
