Guy is funny talking about "the 69 ZL1 was a success" and this one is a tribute. Dude doesn't know what he's talking about. Look, I have a ZL1, so do yall, I have the t shirt that says DNA match, and the matching hat, but the only thing our cars have in common with the '69 is that they are Camaros, ok, and have a ton of hp. Hell, the new Z/28 seriously is really a lot closer to a 69 ZL1. A Stripped down 427 Camaro

How does the SS create negative downforce? Too much air getting below it or air moving faster over than below creating lift? Just curious...
Cool video.

The swoop in the hood creates a low pressure zone since the air loses velocity as it travels over the swoop thus creating a low pressure zone where as at the same time, air is slamming into the engine bay at a relatively unobstructed path. This creates a zone of higher pressure. It may not be a ton but it's just enough to create lift. Now do that for the entire car. The bottom of the car is a relatively straight path (High pressure zone) and the air passing over the car creates a low pressure zone and all of the individual pressure zones add up to a negative down force vector or in other words, a positive lift vector. EDIT: video. skip to 45 seconds in.

Correct, and it is designed this way intentionally to increase mpg.

What he's saying about the 69 ZL1 is BS. There were only 69 built, a success no, legendary, yes. That's where the DNA comes from, the 69 ZL1 was not a production car like today's version.
