VID 032516 Secret Message

So.....032516 passed. Remember the "secret message" discovered on the side of a camoed Camaro (see pic below)? Did anything happen?! Were they referring to the ZL1 debuting on the Regis & Kelly (or whatever the heck it is these days) tv show? We had already seen the video they released of the ZL1 on track.....I'm confused. That could have been a marketing genius idea to hide clues like they did, then actually build up to it and then do something.....

Did I miss something???

Curious about this myself. Maybe it was a date they wanted to introduce it but it actually came earlier on 3/16/16? Maybe it doesn't mean anything at all? I think Mr. Wyndham said he knew what that date meant? Not sure

maybe their intent back then was to reveal on 3/25, but things changed.

btw, i think the way they did do it, out at the track, giving hot lap rides speaks volumes and was the absolute best way to reveal such a car.

To me it looks like the following.
VID 032516 is vehicle identification
PWR◀6.46 is power to weight ratio less than 6.46
0/100◀4.0 is 0 to 100 in less than 4 seconds
LG▶1.0x is lateral G greater than 1G
#HPSIX don't know what that could be?
Just my quess.

100 kmh is 62 mph, so 0-62 in less than 4 seconds. The ZL1 should be well below 4 seconds, especially the A10.

The PTW should be 6.0 - 6.17

For comparison the Hellcat is around 6.3
