I'm not saying it's a rotor. It could be anything but it does look like an extrusion to me.

The one piece is the Cross Car Beam under the IP. It does add structural stiffness to the car so it's an important piece beyond holding the steering column.

Looks like aluminum. Not the lightest as Magnesium has been used but expensive.

I know you didn't, the other person did.

isnt the frame the same frame as the ATS?

Hopefully a beer cooler is included in this 6th Gen, somewhere .....

Yeah anyone got any similar pictures from the ATS....would make comparisons easy if they are the same chassis.

I was just under ours the other day installing drilled/slotted rotors and new pads. I saw nothing like that. Maybe I missed it.

So everyone is on the same page...

How about the honeycombed component..... any idea?
I respect your thoughts... even your guesses. Heck, you were correct about the Z/28 lightweight glass

My guess is the passenger airbag mounts and knee bolsters.

I like how GM is doing this...keeping it interesting for the next two months with plenty of spaced out info so we all don't go crazy...innovative.

anyone know if its been done before?

I think they did the same thing for the ZL1. Ford did a similar thing with the GT350 but it was videos spaced over a few weeks.

Lol @ revealing the exhaust system on 4/20. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

No. The platform is the same but my understanding is that is more of where stuff goes and how it mounts than a physical frame, especially since the cars are unibody.

It could just be showing some of the light weight aluminum technology that will be incorporated into the new Camaro.

Here is a link to info about the CT6 and all the aluminum going into it.
