Beautiful shot of a very nicely done C7. Is it an alcohol car? It doesn't appear that much airflow will be getting under that Corvette for a diffuser to straighten out anyway.

Artist's rendering ?
i was wondering the same thing.
That car looks like its moving very fast, even when sitting still.
Cool looking car.

I think I saw this pic a month or so ago, and someone pointed out it was an artist rendering. It is pretty dang badass looking.

The key that gives it away is that the bottom right corner of the picture says "RENDERED BY FB.COM"!!!
I also found this:
"C7 Corvette Stingray Rendered as a Hennessey HPE2000 Drag Car
Some say the best photoshops are those that are somewhat based in reality. The reality is that when you see this “Hennessey HPE2000 Corvette Stingray drag car” for the first time, you may think it’s real. After all, Hennessey Performance Engineering (http://www.corvetteblogger.com/tag/hennessey/) has made a name for themselves not only bring more and more horsepower to the Corvette Stingray, but also with their radical Venom GT program (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWAavCjVQvM) as well. But alas, this is just a photoshop, “created for competition” says the note that goes along with the posting by RC82 WORKCHOP on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/rc82workchop/photos/a.235951013117355.57635.175036045875519/816216215090829/?type=1).
We don’t know what the competition is but sure I hope it’s for someone looking to make this real instead of it simply being a school project. We particular dig the treatment on the back with the back fascia cut in half to accommodate the huge drag tires while revealing the beefy rear end. With 2000 hp on tap, the wheelie bar and parachute will go along way to keeping this thing grounded and then helping to slow it after its run of 1,320 feet is complete.
On the front, a big hood bulge can be seen through the Plexiglas windows and windshield and the front wheel wells engulf the skinny Goodyear Eagles racing tires mounted up front.
But it’s not real, it’s just a rendering! "

Artist Photo. Take a look at the front wheels, They have tire locks holding the rubber to the rim. The rears tires would fly off the rims when they did the first burnout.

There is a thread over in the CF's C7Z section for pics if C7Z's. I've seen one that was a C7 dragster. I'll see if I can find it again.
