Nobody will. LT1 has zero over heating tendencies even in really hot ambient.

NB Seems GM is now going with a redesigned front end with a solid bar and a bowtie moved up. Just released COPO Camaro has this scheme. So it is official. As far as airflow: flow tie is a nice gimmick and cars and coffee conversation piece. Just like it was on a Z/28. Any Camaro offers a huge intake for cooling vs any Vette, yet they share same motors.

NASCAR race cars use much smaller opening for cooling and even block it with tape to aid aero. And their motors rev much, much higher. Of course these are race motors, but still...

Chevy, I want a job in your design department STAT

No time was spent reviewing the 10 Speed Auto over the 8 Speed Auto and only a brief compliment over the front end redesign... everything else he harped upon and liked about the car has been present on the 6th Gen since 2016.

It appears this was made just outside of Salt Lake City. 4.5 - 5k Altitude...so its probably easily a 4.7 sec car at lower elevation.

That would still seem to be a bit slow. I’ve done 4.2 - 4.4 0-60 in 2000+ DA. In a bone-stock convertible with street pressure tires (33 -35 psi)

I personally wouldn't know. I haven't done 0-60 times in my SS... too busy just enjoying it, don't care about the actual numbers - I just want to enjoy her and listen to her sing.

The guy, “StangMode”, put up this video. Not really anything substantial you learn in his video, but some good comparison shots.

To me, the LS/LT front end stands out to me better than the SS in regards to evolution of design, more streamlined and more sexy of a look. The specific example, shown here, is especially nice with the silver fangs.

Looks like GM is full speed with SEMA front facia for production models.
If so the fangs will stand out less and be better integrated into overall look. And folks should be happy about the flow tie going up on the top grille.
That striped COPO does look fantastic! Easily done even if not offered as a factory option (and proly for much less $).

Agreed, that's my favorite front of any Gen6.
