3rd and 4th generation Camaros did, and some had no front grille at all. With the huge gaping grille on the 5th gen, it would be wasteful to use a scoop underneath, as it would add unnecessary aerodynamic drag.

Can anyone confirm whether the 5th gen uses a scoop underneath? Look for a flat plastic thing hanging down that goes all the way across the front, below the radiator, and in front of/above it there's a large opening for air to get up to the radiator.
