those are some nasty rims...either covered with grime and dust or they're matte for testing

The fangs don't look nearly as bad on a dark colored car.

I would say a combination of both including some spray paint.

350 on the left looks like it might be the NEW avalanche color !

I think its just sun glare over the matte black paint giving that effect

Indeed.

Topnotch indicated that the (GCI) GT350 in the launch video was, in fact, Avalanche. So, a lighter metallic grey than Magnetic.

I'm confused as to what you mean..

There wasn't a z/28 there?

Im just guessing on this but I think what he means is because the tires on the Z/28 would be useless in cold weather

Sorry I didn't see your message earlier 1320.

Stanglife had commented that "They are likely cold-weather testing. All manufacturers do this with their vehicles."

My comment "What's the point with a Z/28?" that followed was asking what is the point of GM testing a Z/28 in cold-weather, when the suspension and tires would be impossibly stiff in anything but dry warm weather.

I suspect they still did do cold weather testing just to comply with regulations.

They do. I agree though, most sane people wouldn't try to drive certain cars in the freezing cold but they should still be able to if required.

It is all wheel drive, not really relevant

So it's not relevant to the fact that cars typically not seen in or driven in cold weather are cold-weather tested? I think it's relevant.

All cars are cold weather tested, ok.

This Ferrari is marketed to the euro crowd that wants to get to alps for a ski trip in style. So this car is not relevant as this is part of its expected duty
