In my opinion I don't really believe that the hood in the rendering will he the final production design. I still believe that they're going to use the hood design from Jay Leno concept/TF3. Not that it really matters to me cause I love my SS and will probably wait till a 50th anniversary Camaro is release til contemplating on buying another car... that or a V8 manual Chevy SSR, now thats a headturner! |

one thing I really hope is that they put the bigger Z28 emblem where the center bowtie is and Z28 emblems on the sides to replace the Camaro emblems and the rear bowtie replaced with the Z28 emblem.

[QUOTE=Shurenuff;2676511].
I'm no engineer, but does it even make sense for it to have both heat extractor vents and a large intake scoop? It seems like the air would just rush in and quickly exit via the extractor vents. What would this accomplish? [/QUOTE If a "large intake scoop" were to expedite this process you would probably see it if in fact this vent work is needed at all. The hood looks mean and nasty, and is something quite unique, although not suitable to everyones taste as you have previously mentioned. It's a shame GM is not going to engineer a functional fresh air duct/scoop for the supercharger. A cool, dense charge of air brings much to the horsepower table. Does anyone have any real info on how much engine heat, or engine compartment temperature rise the SC causes, if any? Does it really need an air exchanger vent in the hood? |

I kept waiting for your sig to finish loading.
My guess is that hood is functional. Why else would GM go to the trouble to make it like that? Cool air goes in at the back of the hood at the cowl. Flows forward across the warm engine then escapes via the extractors. Last edited by Spooker_Doodles; 12-30-2010 at 06:59 PM. Reason: Addition |

I have a feeling this rendering is VERY close to the actual Z28. Looks good overall IMO.
