IMAGINE FOR A SECOND YOU ARE THORETICALLY RUNNING "THUNDER550 PERFORMANCE" YOUR TEAM HAS PUT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO R&D AND DESIGNING A NEW CUTTING EDGE BEAT ALL PERFORMANCE SUPERCAR...
YOU ARE PLANNING ON UNVEILING IT AT A PRESET TIME ABOUT A YEAR AWAY....
BUT YOU NEED TO HIDE IT BECAUSE YOU DONT WANT ANYONE TO KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE UP YOUR SLEEVE....
YOU BEING A PERFORMANCE SHOP OWNER KNOW THAT THIS WILL REALLY MARK YOUR PLACE IN THE PERFORMANCE WORLD.
BUT YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO KEEP IT SECRET OTHERWISE OTHERS WILL SEE YOUR DESIGN AND TRY TO MAKE THERES THAT MUCH BETTER AND MORE CUTTING EDGE THAN YOURS.
NEXT THING YOU KNOW.... YOU HEAR THAT ON THE INTERNET MILLIONS HAVE SEEN YOUR NEW SUPERCAR, AND GOD KNOWS HOW MANY TUNING SHOPS ARE CLOSELY EXAMINING THEM AT THAT VERY MOMENT.
HOW BADLY WOULD YOU **** YOURSELF??

The public has known what "GM has up their sleeve" with the Corvette ZO7,SS,Blue Devil since 2005. The pictures are nice but it's not like we didn't see it coming.
You also made a comment about "GM marking it's place in the performance world." Sure it's gonna probably be the fastest production car ever, but we ALREADY knew that. People were expecting a supercharged 7.0L, or a supercharged 6.2L. We KNEW it was gonna be fast, we KNEW it was eventually gonna come out, and it's not like the car looks completely different, it's still a vette body.
I realize GM has put a ton of work into it, but if they really wanted it THAT secret, they wouldn't have been publicly talking about the idea since 2005.

We Ship Things By Personal Carrier, Because It Is Less Likely For Someone To Know It Is There... Than If We Were To Ship It Ourselves In A Big Gm Truck We'll Have Magazine Photographers Following It Everywhere To See Whats In It.... Its Actually Much More Discreet To Consign A Private Shipping Company

As if you or anybody else at GM really expected to keep blue devil under the cover until it's unveiling? give me a break
