New Camaro ZL1 Video Feature - Phase Four: Aerodynamic Testing
Featured on Camaro5 HOMEPAGE. Here's the next feature video from Chevy explaining Phase Four of ZL1 testing - Aerodynamic Testing The ZL1 was tested in the wind tunnel for about 100 hours! Some neat info about how the ZL1's aero parts all help improve aerodynamics - front splitter, hood extractors, tire dams, brake ducts, rocker sideskirts, and rear spoiler. GM's press release on ZL1 aerodynamics: Quote:

Got to love TECHNOLOGY!
I just finished reading an article about how they used the wind tunnels to help create downforce in a Corvette to attempt to break the standing mile record. It really does make a LOT of difference. |

Thanks for posting. Did you notice that this test model had the traditional dual stripes on the trunk? Just an observation...
