Is it that the wheel is turned but it don't look like he is turning?

It's the new Corvette DSS. "Delayed Stearing System" It helps by delivering a more delayed reaction to correct over-stearing.

It's subtle but the wheel is turned. Just compare the front wheel to the rear -- notice how the (in the picture) upper right of the front is lightly shaded compared to the upper right of the rear?

Yeah, it just doesnt look like its turned ENOUGH. I mean, I can get THAt much turn from the play in my steering wheel. I figured the C6 would have about 1.5 turns lock-to-lock so even a small turn on the wheel would make a noticable change on the tire. Also, the road lines dont look curved either. Just a weird picture is all i guess.

Wow, that's some serious steering play. :p I probably have a play about 1/8-1/10 of a turn so I didn't think there was anything obscenely wrong with the picture. And maybe the car has one of those systems that adjust the wheel turn based on speed?

But the perspective does throw in a couple of optical illusions, but nothing a few straight lines in a photo editor can't debunk. ;)

Uh, I think he is going around a corner. Look at the angle of the front rim/wheel and look closely at the roadway. (not to mention where he's looking)

Looks like it to me.

Muhahah... P0wn'd....

I think that whoever photoshopped/composited the pic/pics were not paying enough attention.....
