I hope so too, but the front scoop on the concept is only partial function, the air is also drawn in from the holes at the top of the intake area jusr rear of the slit. this allows for the CFM issue at WOT you will need more air that the slit will provide.

Yeah, and if it had some room in the engine bay that would make dropping in performance mods a lot easier! although i was looking at the pics and I dont think that the back window pillars will look like how they are with the camo on. They are prolly doing it to throw people off. the lights i bet will change too more of a combo look. I reallly like the way the body is turning out hopefullly soon we can get some inside insight!

See, I remember seeing images close to those and by the looks of it, it seems the air box intake is sorta' behind the latch and vent in the facia. If it doesn't ram air, cold air induction is just as good in my opinion. If it just takes me a little cutting to make it so that some cold air is introduced into the air box, I'm down with that. Crash protection standards may require changes to the Concepts design though...

I do not believe that the Concept's front opening is as functional as some would believe... notice that the air snorkle goes from the throttle body and blooms out to cover the entire front radiator area? the reason it looks functional is because you want it to look functional... I'm quite positive that the Concept is a bottom breather, just like all LS1 4th gens... the neat coverings on the Concept just make it look different.
honestly, I dont expect that the production car will have a front scoop that feeds the air box directly... more likely, it will be a way for air to enter the front of the engine bay and channel air over the engine and out the back of the cowl hood... this would benefit the engine's cooling ability and give a certain functionality to the scoop, but I would much rather the air come from down low where the air is cooler and denser. while I'm talking about hoods and scoops, I want to also address that the LS1 SS hood wasn't that great at getting air to the intake... there are folks that have plugged the SS hood opening and still had the car run just as fast as it did with it open... the LS1's ability to suck air in was FAR greater than what the hood could have ever hoped to keep up with... so most of the air was from down low with just a touch of added air from the scoop.

Wow, I didn't think the 98+ SS hoods were somewhat functional.
I have a question for the WS6 people, are the "nostrils", as I call them, on the LS1's functional? |

no, but they can be made. they have a air flow area in the hood if you actually look at the bottom of the hood. but no they had the plastic grill in the nostrils that was blocked.

I'm sure Volant will have a cold air intake for the Camaro. So that's what I'll get. No biggie. Quote:
And I agree they look great and want them on the car whether they work or not. I concede they do look great.

Whenever posting new spy photos with those non-production headlights I suggest putting into the title "NOT PRODUCTION HEADLIGHTS"
People do read the title of the thread first so maybe that will stop all the headlight comments... The trailer hitch is for when you beat the socks off of a Mustang on "Pinks" you can tow their car home with ya!
