I would guess 1 count means 1 pound of drag.

I think Chevy got the marketing down packed now. They see if they market a car real good, then it will sale. Not to mention the Camaro pretty much is a hot commodity and could pretty much sale itself, but marketing does help alot.

Not to go off topic, but why do you think that GM decided not to put a true racecar driver to lap the ring? I am just curious. I do not know the background of the driver who did the 7:41 but I know its not a racecar driver. Im almost willing to bet that this car very well could have done a 7:35 or so.. In any event, extremely impressive time coming from someone who does not race cars for a living!!!

Yes, I know it doesnt matter, but I was just curious as to why not? Maybe it didnt matter to GM or maybe they wanted to leave a little on the table (other manufacters stating "could you believe what they would have got if they used a racecar driver?"). Again, I was just curious and wondered if there was any true reasoning behind it that I may have missed.

I don't understand how that makes a difference. They're always trying to make tomorrow better than today. ATS is Alpha based and next generation, while the 2012 ZL1 will be Zeta based. There could very well be both a -V and ZL1 on the Alpha platform as well, but I still see the -V as the ZL1 of the Caddy.

Does increased downforce, which helps decrease drag, improve fuel economy?
