ZL1 hood vents & water
Does anyone know if this car will be able to be driven in the rain without it flooding the engine compartment or even be kept outside ? Looks like it will funnel water right into the engine.

I am sure they will accommodate any water through the vents and run it off to the sides.
It will be an all weather powerhouse!

As You can see from this picture how they designed it to scoop the water and channel it to the front and I'm sure as the hood closes, the channel matches a gateway for the water to get out without getting into engine bay.

GM has water-tortured this car like it does for all the rest they sell.

It looks like it dumps down the passenger side in front of the engine.

They even tested this thing in the snow, I'm not worried about rain.
They want this thing to be all-weather proof for 100,000 miles or whatever so I think if there's anything you have thought of, they have thought of it too, and then fixed it.

if you payed attention you would notice the air intake is not even close to the hood vents....millions of dollars of R&D and "oh damn what if it rains"....really

I wish you could see what we do to our cars and trucks to ensure that they will not ingest water..........
