Water drainage on ZL1 hoods
Unfortunately, I don't own a ZL1, just a SS.
 I was wondering though, how is rainwater and/or water from car washing drained/channeled out from the vents in those hoods?

There is a tray that catches it and routes it to the sides. just pick up the hood after washing and dry the exrta that didn't fun off.

the answer?
Very well, thank you! Seriously - I wish you could see how we validate water (and snow) drainage to ensure that our engines do not ingest water -- It's quite amazing - esp. when we blow snow into the front of the car for hours on end.......... That's also why I get a *bit nervous* when I see some of the air boxes that people put on their cars (and trucks...) because I'm never sure as to how well they've validated the change ..... (this isn't a slam at any particular manufacturer - I DO know that some of them validate to our standards.....) Just a word to the wise......

Wow, that drainage shroud looks huge; I'm surprised it fits into everything when the hood is closed. Thanks.

On the other hand how many of those ZL1s will see snow?  (but i bet GM has very demanding standards to approve something like this) |
