I have to have the right rear on it

 

Off road testing is well under way:

 

So Clarkson was right, American cars can't go around curves.

 

and it's a manufacturer plate too!

 

Jim Mero was the driver, the same guy who set a ZR1 record at the 'ring.

 

He's a n00b

 

That'll buff right out.

 

The good thing is that all these pre production cars get scrapped anyway.

 

Heh n00b in a n00b car

Seriously though, I wonder how high he had the wick turned up before it became apparent he was going for an an off-road excursion

 

It was reported by a GM spokesperson that he was not the driver actually.

 

Did they say who by any chance?

 

The person was not identified.

 

I wouldn't want to be identified as "the guy that drove a new Corvette up a wall" either...

 

 

Perhaps the unnamed individual behind the wheel was in their target demographic = midlife crisis "because sportscar" driver.

 

Because they aren't released to the public, it was likely a GM employee. According to what was said about the cause, it was mentioned a wheel came off part of the pavement, caught, and then caused the crash.

 

Yep. That's a Camaro asz end right there.

 

Where do you see the resemblance? I am curious because while the lights are "in the family" perhaps for Chevy, the shapes are different, as well as the depth and light patterns.

The rest of the rear looks different to me.

 

At the angle in the ditch you don't really see the exhaust or the lower diaper. So its the tail lights to me that jump out from that quarter/side angle.

 

Ah, the famous diaper

The diapers look different to me as well. In the photo above, the taillights have a "familial" resemblance to me, but some of the styling details look a bit different, especially on the Corvette with what I've seen some people call the "mascara" (heat extractor vents) next to the lights.
